I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone call and two in person interviews. This industry has an incredibly high turnover rate because the training is intense and it takes a few years to cultivate your own leads and start functioning on your own. They are looking for people who are energetic, hard working, and want to commit themselves to this process. They will invest a lot of time in you so they want to make sure that you are worth it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work here?
What are your best and worst qualities?
Being that this industry has high turnover, do you/how do you see yourself pushing past the first few difficult years to get to the higher reward?
I applied online. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors
Interview
Online video interview that was vague on job duties. Interview length was fast and convincing I was a good fit but there was no follow up. Company will ghost you.
