I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Edward Jones in June 2010
Interview
The interviewing process has been long and drawn out. I felt like I was applying for a job at the Pentagon or something. It has taken too long for a job that does not pay well at all, well at least initially. I could understand if they offered over $100k starting out, but this process is ridiculous. Just give a yes or a no.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name times you persevered during a tough and stressful time?
Interview process first consists of numerous dinner events, all very laid back where you get to learn more about the company and the advisors in the region, and they get to learn more about you. If you keep getting invited back to dinners, consider it progress in the interview process. Honestly, the best, most effective interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
it's a series of interviews with people in the office then a full-day of simulating the role of the advisor where you're receiving calls from clients and team mates as well as receiving emails. As a career-changer, this was the part of the interview phase where I realized Edward Jones wasn't the right start to my career as a financial advisor and ended up going somewhere that invested in my growth rather than a "sink or swim" type of place.
Interview process is very lengthy. 6 steps, very in depth. HR screening, in person interview, 1 year plan, day in the life role play (3 hours long) where you had to call actors who were playing clients and prospects
