I applied through university. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors in Feb 2017
Interview
Went through a 3 step interview process. The first step was all about getting to know one another. I was asked basic questions about myself including a few situational questions. Step 2 involved more situation questions and an overview of what the job entailed. Step 3 involved creating a business plan which isn't hard to do. Make sure you have a financial advisor to speak to about developing this plan to make it easy. I went over the business plan with my interviewer and a few days later was offered the job. Things to note before interviewing with this company: You will pay for part of your licensing exams unlike other companies, there are a lot of costs to get into the business including paying for stationary, and you have a lot of control over your practice.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.

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.
