I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Prudential (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
Manager covered onboarding program to become a Financial Advisor. Information was very thorough and informative. Also, explained process to obtain any/all licenses needed for the job. Questions were asked about current knowledge of financial services/planning, past experiences, and why I'd want to become a Financial Advisor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked why I wanted to become a Financial Advisor. Having a "why" can be important to provide a reason to do this job.
Conversational. Almost seemed more like they were trying to sell me on the concept of working there. The language and metrics used to describe the job seem to exaggerate reality.

Question 1
How do you feel about cold outreach/talking to people you don't know?
I applied online. I interviewed at Prudential in Jan 2026
Interview
Very easy process. One round virtual and then two in person with the regional hiring manager. Very conversational and laid back. The second in person interview was mostly going over information regarding the commission structure
Thorough and quick, though consistent contact was a bit of an issue. I was a bit confused about time and the employee did not show up to the first scheduled interview, as there was a bit of a gap with regards to communication.
