Part of your job as a financial analyst is staying up to date on the latest trends and growing in your overall knowledge. In addition to any of the major and most relevant publications, such as the Wall Street Journal magazine, Financial Times magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, Barron's magazine, Forbes magazine, Economist magazine, Institutional Investor magazine, and Morningstar magazine, familiarize yourself with the news and media offerings of the company you are interviewing for. Spend ample time reading as much as they offer on their website, and they will expect you to be the voice of their company and be fully versed in the knowledge they have to offer their clients, stakeholders, and their teams. Show that you are knowledgeable and interested in your field. Come across as a reliable and trusted resource.
