I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Clinton, NJ) in Feb 2009
Interview
I received a call about coming in for an interview after applying for the position online. The interview was the first of a five step process and the interviewer was very informative and pleasant. The people all seemed rather nice and the work culture was casual. My advice would be to research the company beforehand and have plenty of questions prepared, as this job is solely commission based you make it what you will.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you think you have the network of people required to be successful in this position? (Considering I was a recent graduate)
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
