Series of interviews that began with an information session, followed by a basic "get to know you" interview where you learn more about the position, followed by a final interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Newport Beach, CA) in May 2013
Interview
The hiring process was very straight forward, after submitting an online application I was notified of my application having been received. I was contacted within a week through e-mail by a college recruiter who asked some general questions. Following the string of e-mails I was asked for a phone interview where my morals and ethics were the focus, the recruited asking the questions was engaging and inquisitive regarding every aspect of my answers. The final step of the interview was a presentation to the college recruited on a market analysis of potential clients for financial services.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked for a specific instance of anyone I knew who had an experience with a financial representative and how it went.
Straight forward and easy. Consisted of a call and a zoom interview. First with a recruiter and then with a full time rep that was part of the internship. Fairly easy and straight forward.
Sales focused interview. Need to provide a list of 200 people and their contact info to pass the interview, and once you're hired you'll have to contact all those people.
