Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 days)
i was told i'd be interviewed via phone prior to a in-person interview. the branch financial advisor skipped the phone interview, called me himself and scheduled an interview. he told me i was on top of the list. he explained what a fair and kind person he was. i spent 1 1/2 hours interviewing, answering question after question about situations i've encountered at work and how i responded to them. i answered every one quite well, and he stated they were good. did i hear anything after that? not a word from this supposed fair and kind person. i was very disappointed that edward jones is this unprofessional to not at least tell me i did not get this job. it was between myself and one other candidate. very disappointing.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Very friendly demeanour. I took about an hour.
Questions like:
"Time when you dealt with difficult clients"; "Time when you had to handle a conflict";
and also like:
"Why are you interested in Edward Jones and in financial industry in general".
Very thorough answers to my questions.
At the end she requested that I fill out a special Employment Application and send it by fax.
Follow up - she told me that she'll have a decision in 2 weeks.
2 weeks later I followed up by a phone call. No direct answer.
Several days later I received by email a notification saying that they choose other person.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2+ weeks)
Interviewed through campus recruiting. Initial resume screening, then invited for a 1 on 1 interview. Mostly behavioral questions, with some technical financial questions, and current events. Asked to final interview about 2 weeks later. Final interview consisted of a 45 minute 1:3 interview - only behavioral questions, just to make sure you are a good fit and have a personality. Offer extended the next day.

Reason for Declining
Edward Jones is a great company, and the RDP position sounded fantastic, but I received another offer with better salary and more interesting position.
Other Details

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
The process is VERY defined, and VERY selective. They will find out EVERYTHING and ANYTHING about you, past arrests even if they are off your record, they will find out if your interviewing for other companies etc. Going through the process now and let me make it clear that this company, if offered an opportunity to work for them, is one that you should take. You need to be very detailed in your application and tell them everything, every job, every dollar earned etc.
Overall the hiring process is a 7-step process I have been invited back for the 4th step which is face to face surveys, I.E going door to door.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 4 months)
The process began with questionnaires, a background check, and a short phone conversation. Next, I had to go door-to-door, ask people a series of questions, and solicit their phone numbers for follow-up. There were several more phone interviews and two more in person for a total of nine interviews.
The overall feel of the interview and hiring process was impersonal and frustrating. I had a hard time getting in touch with human resources, as did the advisors and recruiters within Edward Jones that wanted to hire me.
I really liked the new people that I met through my contacts within the organization and the advisors that I met in person to interview with. They were supportive, hard-working individuals that took time out of their busy days to recruit and interview me. These people returned my calls promptly and answered my questions in detail. It was obvious that they cared.
This was distinct from the culture at the HR department within the corporate office, where I felt very much like a number to be ignored. My recruiter and the advisors helping me tracked down my lost application twice during the process. In the end, I never even heard back from the corporate office regarding the status of my application-in spite of being reassured numerous times that I would at least get a phone call or an email with "Yea" or "Nay."
I understand that HR departments can be busy places. I also understand that someone may not have wanted to hire me. A simple "no" in the appropriate place, such as during my numerous follow-up calls, would have helped considerably.
I ended up accepting the same position with a competitor instead.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Seneca, SC (took 4+ weeks)
I applied for 3 BOA positions online. My sister knew a recruiter so he attached his name to my resume. Then the BOA screener called me and set up an appointment for a phone interview. The phone interview took about twenty minutes. A lot of "tell me a time when..." type of questions. Then I applied for another BOA position that just recently came open and I was referred to another BOA screener. She then called me and asked me one question..."based on the videos that you have watched about BOA what is your impression of this job?" basically just a question to see if I knew what I was applying for and how I felt about the job. So then she sent my information to the financial advisor and he called me two hours later to set up a face to face interview two days later. Just had that interview today and he asked basically the same exact questions as the phone interview. It was very relaxed and chit-chatty to get to know each other. He's hoping to hire someone the week before Christmas so hopefully I'll hear back from the BOA screener in about three weeks letting me know if I got it or not.
If you got those past experience/behavioral/think on your feet type of questions down then you'll be fine. It's definitely not an easy interview but you must prepare.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
After sending in my resume to a recruiter and making it through the first round of interviews, I was interviewed again! The interviewer was intimidating and condescending--kept telling me how he is on my side and not answer his questions with such long response. Still haven't heard back on their decision. Sent me back my application asking me to divulge into some more experiences (12 pages of information isn't enough, I guess. Looks like the long responses were needed after all.)
