Morgan Stanley phone interview - sales + trading internship

It was supposed to last 20 minutes. It lasted 13. She said she will let me know shortly the outcome. Hmmmm I thought I did Good at first, but then in the middle I forgot one question she was asking me! At the end she never asked me if I had any questions to ask her...

They won't find out if you tell anyone, and tbh you should because it helps peple who are not fully aware of what they could be asked. I was very naive in terms of my knowlege of banking and the financial markets untill a trader gave me a heads up, there are so many people who are literally prepped from birth and have perfect answers and ec's prepared for any question they will face. Like the ex prime-ministers son who also interned at a leading bank, think of the huge wealth of information relating to assessment procedures and interview questions he was likely to face that was likely to have been provided to him.

do i look like or sound like your mentor? ...... people should network with people working in the banks....and i must say if you search alumni from your universities then it isnt that hard! i am the first ever person to go university from a my entire family so if you really want anything in life, it is possible....by the way i have never been interested in being someone's mentor. thanks.

(i asked for help because this was my 1st interview and was asking for a 'general' idea, you are asking me for specific questions i got asked)

Ok guys obv there was a bit of banter on this thread about giving up information etc. I'll be honest I am looking for direction, help, whatever you want to call it. I have an internship interview (1st i.e. there has not even been a telephone one yet) with MS S&T coming up. Its meant to be 2 half hour interviews with S&T guys, does anyone have any information regarding the questions I could be asked?

I had the phone interview for grad scheme last year so perhaps I can help a little bit, Im guessing that the process/questions would not have changed too much.

They asked some general questions like ~ Why MS? Why this Program? Why the degree your doing?

Some competencies ~ teamwork, influencing, communication

Some financial market knowledge ~ Tell me a story you have read recently. Tell me an article that you have read that you found interesting and why. What is your opinion on the markets at the minute? If I had $1million where should I invest it?

And finally some situational questions ~ If I remember correctly I got asked these after the competencies. So for example they asked me for teamwork I say my example and then they would say well if you were in a team where 2 members were arguing amongst themselves what would you do? Or for communication it was ~ Often your job will involve delivering technical and complex information to clients who have varying knowledge of markets and products, how will you ensure that the information is clearly presented so that it is easy for anyone to understand and how will you protect against the possibility of information being misinterpreted.

For the grad scheme, but this would seem appropriate
