Interviewed May 2012 in Vienna, VA (took 3 days)
The process began as a group interview presentation with all prospective employees, there were about 8 of us there. After the presentation was over with the director of that particular office, they scheduled a second round of interviews for all of those who were interested. The second interview was a 1:1 interview with one of the advisors at the firm. Then they schedule a third interview with the top manager at the office. Most of the questions are about your education background, personality traits, financial interest level as well as marketing strategies.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Reston, VA (took 2 weeks)
The first thing I did was attend a preliminary informational session with one of the managers in which he explained all of the aspects of the job. Next, I performed a 25 minute phone interview and after that, a one on one interview with the branch manager. Main questions: Why you? Why ING?

first you sit in a room a VP of somthing comes in and talkes to you about the job how to get clients and what ING can do for you. Then if you want the job they have 2 more rounds of one on one interviews. Basically you are starting your own financial service ING will help you with the tests you need to take you only have to pay for your books (800$) and they will pay you back if you pass. they say there is a base pay but its not a salary they called it a financial incentive program but when i asked questions about it he didnt really seem to interested in answering so i dont know how it works. They want you to get your family and friends to invest with you cause its almost impossible to get clients that you dont know. there is no cold calling and your a fee based advisor so you arnt pushing a stock just your services.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I need a base pay i could easily get my family to invest and make money from that but after as a recent college grad i dont know to many almost retiring people so it would be hard for me to get clients and your goal is 52 a year or one a week. if you cant get clients youll never make money and over 50% of your clients will come from who you know so if you dont know any one you wont succeed.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 1 week)
Initially was contacted via telephone regarding resume that was posted on a job search site. Asked a few basic questions, then invited to attend small group presentation.
After presentation, group was able to elect to move forward in the process and set up a 1-1 interview following week.
The face to face interview lasted about 30 min. Questions were mainly focused on personality traits, and then about potential clients that you know. The ideal candidate is someone who earns in excess of $100,000 yearly, or has a similar amount that can be invested in the near future.
After one week, I made several phone calls to inquire about status of the decision to move on to the final round of interviews. Within a few days, I received a response that they had chosen to move on with other candidates.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Philadelphia, PA (took a day)
Spoke to man on the telephone. Had emailed me a form with questions we would go over, so that ran smoothly. Asked me about what connections I have that I would be willing to contact for investment help within the day I started. Want high profile clients, and new hires should recruit some was the POV that I got from them.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 3 days)
Started out with an information session, pretty general stuff which could be found on the job posting itself. This then followed with a one on one interview with one of the sales force. This was more geared towards behavioral questions, and the interviewer explaining about the position to me. It was good to have thought out potential networking sources beforehand.
