You never know what a company wants at all. Go into any interview ready to discuss anything including your hobbies. They might carry over.

I'm a financial analyst. They usually want someone with an accounting or finance degree and experience.

But you know what. I sold them that I learn quickly and they liked that I hadn't picked up bad accounting habits.

When I was in a position to advertise and hire for open positions, we would shoot for the moon in our advertisements knowing no one could meet every criteria. We were happy if a prospective candidate had some experience with just 40% of what was listed, of course we probably scared off a lot of good candidates because they thought they didn't meet the requirements.
