I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Portland, OR)
Interview
This interview was the easiest interview Ive ever been involved in. All you must do is dress properly and be extremely personable. This job is all about contacts, so unless you have alot of contacts and good sales skills forget about it, this job is not for you. All questions asked are extremely basic as they are just trying to gauge how many people you know and could sell insurance too. Not salary or hourly solely commision based. Very long process to get position.
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
Interview
The process was smooth and straight forward. A lot of behavioral based questions, but relaxed and low stress. First phase is a phone screening followed by a teams or in person meeting.
