The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Nashville, TN) in Apr 2011
Interview
NMFN knows how to sell a job. They have it down to a science on how to sucker young college kids into taking this job. When I met the young lady at the career fair, she made it sound like the greatest thing anyone could do. After reading some reviews on glassdoor, I was able to see the correlations and specs about the job that in reality were terrible, but sugarcoated to the point an Ethiopian couldn't handle the donut.
I'm going to try to get a job here, just to see if I like it, plus it will give me a good foundation for my career as a financial advisor (I hope). I just want to know what happens when the singularity arrives and we can live forever. What will happen to life insurance then?
More personality testing questions. The do analysis while interviewing. But in the end I dont think they care. No mention of having to pay for office space, etc. $100/ week stipend is exaggerated as the greatest thing ever.
Series of interviews that began with an information session, followed by a basic "get to know you" interview where you learn more about the position, followed by a final interview
Straight forward and easy. Consisted of a call and a zoom interview. First with a recruiter and then with a full time rep that was part of the internship. Fairly easy and straight forward.
Sales focused interview. Need to provide a list of 200 people and their contact info to pass the interview, and once you're hired you'll have to contact all those people.
