The act of getting a finance degree in an accredited university is not enough to land a job. The financial sector is highly competitive based on a number of factors not the least of which is the importance of individuals capable of dealing with high stress jobs. A finance degree does not carry the same weight as it once did based on the number of finance professionals looking for work worldwide. Your knowledge of available employers of finance graduates will give you a leg up on the competition.
Finance graduates who want to break into the public sector can work with government agencies responsible for creating a national budget. The national budget involves billions of pounds distributed throughout hundreds of programs. Each pound needs to be accounted for at all times to avoid charges of accounting malfeasance. Financial advisors who want to serve their country while using their university training can find an internship program through a government agency to begin their career.
A combination of small business growth and increasing accessibility to financial resources has led to a new market for finance graduate jobs. There are a number of firms that need to fill finance graduate jobs designed specifically for small business clients. The rewards of working as a financial advisor to a burgeoning business are plentiful including the opportunity to witness successful businesses at their birth. These positions may feature a lower commission level but graduates can gain invaluable experience and a stepping stone for better positions with a few years on the job.
Finance graduates eye up high profile positions with corporations as stock traders and advisors on the world’s financial exchanges. The intense competition, high stress and long hours of these jobs can be off-putting for young professionals. Graduates who want a taste of this highly pursued career option can spend a summer as an intern after graduation. This temporary option provides a foot in the door and builds up skills needed in other financial positions.
A professional option for finance graduates who disdain the rigors of office life is private advising for individual clients. Finance graduates need to get certification and licensure on their own but young professionals can strike out on their own to advice people who don’t trust advising firms. This path requires hard work, a commitment to selling one’s self and an ability to build trust instantly with sceptical clients.

Where does the corporate culture lie between these extremes: autocratic top-down decision making vs empowered employees given free reign to pursue creative approaches to given tasks.
In some places employees who point out inherent weaknesses in corporate policy are viewed as whistle-blowing troublemakers: at other places the very same people are thanked for pointing out opportunities for improvement. Where do you see this organization?
I have seen companies that count years of service as the primary factor in deciding who to promote. I have seen others where a young person right out of college who has good mastery of analytical software become far more efficient and therefore, more likely to be promoted despite their young age. At this company, who would be more likely to be promoted?
In these three examples, the quick answer you give is irrelevant, because everyone knows what you're "supposed" to say. The real answer will come in the quality and depth of examples you give, and how passionately you convey the answers. The candidates will be able to smell if you are making up answers just to get them to sign on.
