A Wall Street employee works in a stressful, loud and fast-paced environment.

The employer may ask you to give him examples of situations where you had to face work pressure or stressful situations. Based on your answers, the employer may also want to know about your strengths and weaknesses in order to determine how well you would fit it on the Wall Street floor.
Personal Qualities

A stock broker who sells and buys stocks must be a quick thinker and an organized individual. The employer may also try to test your integrity during the interview, as you will be dealing with people's money while working. The employer may ask you direct questions about your previous work experience with money or other people's valuables.

Companies and Markets
-
It is common that stock brokers research companies present on the market before they buy stocks in a company. You may have to explain what researching methods you use to find out information about the companies on the market. As you answer the question, name the tools you used available on the market, so the employer can see that you are staying current in the industry. The more you can tell about your researching methods, the better more the employer will see that you can work independently.
Knowing the Industry and Stock Exchange
-
Although you may have the right skills and qualities to work on Wall Street and know the right methods to research potential companies on the market, the employer may still ask you questions about the market itself in order to gain an insight to your knowledge. For example, the employer may ask you about the most successful stocks at the moment on the stock market and the most influential people on the market.
