I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Stillwater, OK) in Mar 2010
Interview
I was hired directly out of college. The process included an initial application, which was reviewed to determine if I would have a phone interview. The initial interview was with someone in St Louis and then a psychometric phone interview with a third party. Once that was complete, there is a final interview with someone in a local branch office.

Question 1

It was quite possibly the hardest interview of my life. Met one on one with a successful advisor in another region and it lasted about an hour and a half.

Question 1
Explain a challenging dilemma and how did you handle it?
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Oklahoma City, OK) in Mar 2012
Interview
Very poor experience. The process was completely mercenary. All they focused on was how much more money I would make there for the identical volume, at the expense of the client.
