      Difficult Interview

      Interview

      The process was very lengthy. After you submit your detailed application, you get a 20 min. phone interview. If you pass that, you will then have to submit a business plan. After that, you have an in-person interview with someone in your region. After completion of that, you are required to perform a "Day in the life of" activity where you log on to their system and perform activities as if you were a financial advisor. You have to answer emails, phone calls and talk to "clients or potential clients", schedule events, etc. This is a 3 hour activity. Once you have completed that activity, you will be called and debriefed in your performance and may be offered the position.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Edward Jones.

      Interview

      Lengthy process. Appeared disorganized. Very subjective informal interviews with several people, followed by a simulated financial advisor experience which was super awkward, as you’re pretending to be a financial advisor with zero licenses or training. In my opinion, doing well on this simulation is in NO way indicative of someone’s ability to do the job or the inherent qualities that firms should be looking for in financial advisors, the non-teachable qualities.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones.

      Interview

      I met with an FA in the area for an interview. She told me they had to verify who I was and also ask me situational questions. I'd suggest thinking about your previous experiences dealing with clients, partnerships, and people. Read the careers page at the Edward Jones website and try to speak to a couple of advisors. This should prepare you well for the interview.

      Interview

      The interview process is somewhat extensive, but the interviewer is basically looking for someone who understands and converses well with new and existing clients. It is a long process, so I am hopeful that it is worth it.

      Interview process was painstakingly long. I felt like i was jumping through hoops. I did get all the way through and get hired, but for churning FA's, it seemed like way too much.
