Question 1
What are the important things in helping a client?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Washington, DC) in Dec 2017
Interview
Applied online for the position. Resume was received and accepted. Next step was to complete an online assessment "day in the life" of a planner - multiple choice scenarios. Passed that. Contacted by a recruiter for a 15 min phone interview. Very relaxed and easy interview. I think they're just checking to see if you can speak English well and can communicate. Next step is an online interview which is my next step.
