I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (New York, NY) in July 2012
Interview
Received a call from a recruiter saying she saw my resume on Monster. Spoke briefly on the phone and scheduled an nterview. Interview was easy, very typical and basic interview questions, mostly she talked about the position. Completed personality test online after and never heard back ever again.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for Northwestern Mutual as a Financial Representative?
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
