I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Toronto, ON)
Interview
I submitted resume online, received phone call following afternoon and had phone interview with head office. Had 1 on 1 interview in local office, which was more of a chat as I had qualifications they were looking for, so it was more of a personality check. Offer by phone was made within 15 minutes of leaving the office.

Question 1
This was not a difficult interview, it was more of a formality.
One virtual interview with the head of the administration team and one in person interview at their office in the Sears Tower. The role and expectations were explained, in addition to the pay structure which was a six month minimum contract (hourly) with no benefits. Regardless, the interview went great and I was expecting to hear from them and I never did. I’m not positive they were ever serious about hiring anyone. Perhaps why the role was set up as contract to begin with, even though it was a permanent role. They never communicated any feedback to updates to the recruiter who sent me. I was also asked an illegal question which I listed below.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
First stage Teams call with the senior assistant - very casual told me about the team what they do, the hybrid structure.
What they are looking for and the type of work they do in the department
Fairly straightforward with what they were looking for and with the time line of the process. Very, very nice people. Interviews were with the admin staff and a few managing directors. I also met with two HR representatives. Everyone was really nice.
