I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Edward Jones in Jul 2010
Interview
Met an Edward jone Financial Advisor and he suggested that I might be a good fit of the position of a Finanacial Advisor. I meet him in his office and he gave me an overview of the job and answered a few of my questions. Then he suggested that I Applied on line then received an invite to schedule a phone interview. Still in the proces so I don not have an outcome as of this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me your biggest failure and how did you over came it?
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
