I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (New York, NY) in May 2012
Interview
Hiring process itself tends to be very fast paced. I applied through college career center, and was offered a phone interview within few days, and a walk-in interview within a week. Interview very general, they asked me questions about any sales experience, and asked me whether I would feel okay with 100% commission .
