I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cormark (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2015
Interview
- Networked with a person in a different department
- they needed someone and had my connection just passed on my resume
- went for the interview with full market reports of the sector they are covering, read their equity reports (my connection emailed me), pitched a stock that they cover and discussed on my valuation metrics, talked about sectors, discussed my stock picking strategies
- i worked on equity research before in a foreign country so I presented my research reports and analysis.
- Experience was overall okay but I guess they found out someone with equity research experience in Toronto.
