Question 1
How would you deal with a client that just will not say yes?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Boston, MA) in Jun 2010
Interview
I was referred to the manager by a current employee. This is an important tip to remember- try to make contact with a current employee, especially if you know them, and ask for a referral. I was brought in for an initial interview with complex manager, then follow up interview with branch manager. Fairly straight forward.
