I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied on my campus career site. Then was selected for on campus interview. Interview was very structured on questions about "name a time when..." Also, general market questions. Haven't heard back since the preliminary interview. Overall, good experience.
It was quick and completely online. You have to record yourself giving answers to behavioral questions. The questions were very easy but it is difficult to talk to a screen and it sounds unnatural.
Weird you have to just have to write an essay and most of the questions are pretty behavioral. Overall pretty easy but have not had the best time. The work they have given me has not challenged me at all
I applied for an undergraduate internship, and less than 48 hours later, received an email asking for an on-demand interview. Then I was asked to fill out information on my financial history, if I'd ever been charged/convicted of a crime, and prior salaries. All went smoothly and quickly. I made it to the final round interview.
The interview was bizarre. They asked a policy question and followup questions to "conflict at work" questions about my previous company that I found downright invasive. Things that I believe are obviously no one's business outside a company.
Edward Jones, would you like your former employees answering the policy question I was asked? Would you like your former employees being asked followup questions about the intimate happenings of your company? These are not rhetorical questions. Use the response function to answer. I see you've claimed this page and are an "Engaged Employer."
Not all students have worked in retail and can tell a "One time someone had broken shoes and tried to return them a day outside of the return policy, but the manager said no. It was sad they had broken shoes." story. Some students have worked for private companies in industries that don't appreciate indiscretion regarding their private dealings. Also, sometimes people feel a sense of loyalty or obligation and don't want to speak negatively, however mild, about a former employer. Needless to say, I didn't thoroughly answer the problematic questions and expected the "no." I'd proud of myself for sticking to my morals. Do better.
