I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Started with online application and got an email for some personal testing and other pre qualifying question. Than was reach by a recruiter and gone thru a brief introduction and job over view. Had another phone interview that lasted about hour to hour and half. Than have another interview with the regional director for another hour or so. Got calls from other advisor in the area to help with interview process and help with business plan that you have to put together and go over for the final interview. During the process you are getting your background checks and everything out of the way as well. Was reach out about 5 days later and offer a position the whole process from start to finish was about a month or so.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What steps are you planing to take to build your book of business.
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
