I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC) in Jan 2008
Interview
First I met with a local college recruiter and had a very nice conversation which mostly consisted of small talk. I then recieved a phone call asking if I was still interested in becoming a financial rep. at thier company, and scheduled a one on one interview. after a one on one interview with the HR people there was another one on one interview with the managing director. This was the final phase of the interview processs. The one on one interviews consist of questions related to personal characteristics and view and goals, some situational questions also.
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.
