I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (New Orleans, LA) in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview was very basic, they ensured your views and morals were aligned with their own and that you had an ability to sell. They also wanted to ensure that you knew that they offered more than insurance and you would in turn have the ability to sell stocks, bonds and other products that would make you more money in commission.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you overcame adversity or rejection.
Straightforward process, interviewed with them on campus. They provided the information I needed. I decided to not move ahead with the interview process as it did not align with my goals, but the interviewers were cordial and professional.
Felt like they were selling me something the whole time. Super easy to talk to, but something just felt off the whole time. Had multiple phases of them explaining why they're so perfect and great to work for (massive selection bias in some of their numbers)
