Interview Details – I was referred by a current employee to apply online for the position. It sounded like a great opportunity to enter a new career field. The first step was to fill out a simple preliminary online application. I was then instructed to take an online personality assessment after which I was informed that I was no longer a candidate.
Interview Question – Because of the personality assessment I wasn't given the opportunity for a face to face interview, their loss. Answer Question
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Pittsburgh, PA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Apr 16, 2013
Interview Details – Multiple steps, if you can handle a basic behavioral interview and fulfill their project 200 (which is very time consuming) they will be interested. They really sell the position and make it seem like you can make big money relatively quickly. It seemed fishy and I never felt like they were completely honest.
Interview Question – All were pretty straightforward. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I didn't think it was right for me.
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013

No Offer – Interviewed in Chalfont, PA Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 12, 2013
Interview Details –
Prudential called me to apply for a "Financial Professional Associate", even though i have no previous financial background. Was very skeptical at first, but went down there anyway to hear therm out.
The interview process was mostly of the recruiters telling me how much money I can make and how easy the job would be. It was a lot of hype that didn't ring true.
No Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2012 – Reviewed Apr 4, 2013
Interview Details – First interview was on-site at my campus, second round was at their headquarters in Newark, NJ. Process seemed very organized throughout and it looks like a program that can give you a lot of hands-on experience. The second round interview consisted of 2 separate interviews by employees, the first round was just one.
Interview Question – When was there a time that you experienced difficulty motivating a team member and what did you do? Answer Question
No Offer – Interviewed in Newark, NJ Jun 2010 – Reviewed Mar 30, 2013
Interview Details – Four sets of two interviewers over a two-hour period. The interviewers came from mixed levels, low to high. They come from different yet associated work-areas. Some of the interviews spend the whole time talking about the company, their area, the benefits of working there. Some ask you "got ya" or tricky brain-teaser questions (don't worry, just be confident in yourself the whole time). The culture seemed relaxed overall with an occasional sprinkle of arrogance. The pay is very low compared to the New York equivalents, though.
Interview Question – One interviewer asked me towards the end of his session, "Why should we hire you?" I loved that he asked me that! Answer Question
Declined Offer – Reviewed Mar 25, 2013
Interview Details – Met the recruiter at my school's career fair and set up an interview on campus about 3 weeks later. Was offered a second round interview on the spot at the district office. Both interviews were very casual. Some technical questions in the first round followed by more behavioral based questions in the second round. They spent a lot of time going over the compensation because it is largely commissioned base, which is why I eventually declined the offer. I wanted more of a sure thing right after graduation.
Interview Question – Nothing out of the norm Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Wanted a job that wasn't pure commission based right out of school.
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Pittsburgh, PA – Reviewed Mar 25, 2013
