Banking Interview Case Pack

WHAT THIS IS

A 42-page commercial banking case pack for candidates preparing for credit-track interviews. Four composite cases across manufacturing, logistics, NZ dairy, and Australian property development — each with the full diagnostic moves a senior banker would actually use, the worked credit view, the ninety-second verbal walkthrough, and the curveballs interviewers pivot to when they want to test you further.

Not interview "tips." Not generic credit theory. The specific order in which senior bankers ask questions when they read a file — and what separates a candidate who thinks like a banker from one who thinks like an analyst.

The reason to work these before the room, rather than after it: the first time you meet a file like Northmark should not be across a table from someone deciding whether to hire you. Candidates rarely lose credit interviews on technical knowledge. They lose them by answering in the wrong order — running to the ratio before establishing what the business does with cash — and by having no second sentence when the interviewer says "and if the covenant had held?"

Four cases is roughly an evening. The interview it is preparing you for is fifty minutes long and decides which decade of your career you spend where.

FRONT AND BACK MATTER

Front matter: what interviewers are actually testing — the order of inquiry that separates banker thinking from analyst thinking.

Back matter: thirty-day prep plan; glossary of terms you will hear in the room; four interview formats with the right approach for each; sample mock interview script walked through Case 01.
