I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones
Interview
Lots of interviews with mainly STAR type questions.. if you do your homework and have specific example you will do fine! It is however a lengthy process. The simulation is longgggg and fast paced but I feel like they gave me enough info and time to do the prework so I was prepared so it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. If you didn’t prepare I could see how others thought it was hard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
STAR type ques.. tell me a time when and what was the outcome type ques. Every interview they were basically the same ques..
Interview process first consists of numerous dinner events, all very laid back where you get to learn more about the company and the advisors in the region, and they get to learn more about you. If you keep getting invited back to dinners, consider it progress in the interview process. Honestly, the best, most effective interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
it's a series of interviews with people in the office then a full-day of simulating the role of the advisor where you're receiving calls from clients and team mates as well as receiving emails. As a career-changer, this was the part of the interview phase where I realized Edward Jones wasn't the right start to my career as a financial advisor and ended up going somewhere that invested in my growth rather than a "sink or swim" type of place.
Interview process is very lengthy. 6 steps, very in depth. HR screening, in person interview, 1 year plan, day in the life role play (3 hours long) where you had to call actors who were playing clients and prospects
