I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Tampa, FL) in July 2017
Interview
I interviewed with the head recruiter of the program and one of the lead sales coach after networking hard the summer. We had a phone interview for 40 minutes where they asked me questions and I asked them multiple questions afterwards. I asked to follow up and met with them a week later. They liked me a lot but unfortunately, I did not have enough work experience for the position. I knew it was a long shot but at least they knew who I am.
