I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Navisis Financial (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2014
Interview
Submitted resume online. Was contacted by a recruiter. The recruiter set up an interview. Met in the Chicago office. Waited in lobby for 10 minutes before being interviewed by 1 person. Was told at the end of interview that the job was mine if I wanted it. Received official offer 2-3 days later. Turned it down as the training only paid like $300/week.

The interviewer made the job seem a bit sketchy. He made an effort to brag about his commissioned salary and stated, "I did it all while only reading the WSJ once a week to keep up on news." I don't know what he was trying to portray by that.
