I interviewed at Beacon Wealth Management (Union, NJ)
Interview
Very straightforward and friendly. Interviewers were both very kind and respectful. They tell you about the position you are applying for and ask you questions about yourself and your work history.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Beacon Wealth Management (Hackensack, NJ) in Aug 2013
Interview
Interview process was fast. Beacon Wealth Management came to campus to recruit a I submitted my resume there. Subsequent interviews in the office included meeting with CEO Mark Germain, Director of Business Development Tina Powell and another Client Service associate. Fairly basic questions asked, nothing too technical in nature. Seemed more concerned I would fit into small office culture
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Beacon Wealth Management (Hackensack, NJ) in Aug 2014
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone screen interview and three separate in-person interviews at their main office located in Hackensack, NJ. An employee conducted the initial phone screen and was primarily concerned with motivation factors. They asked many illegal questions which included; Are you married?/ Do you have children?/ Do you own or rent a home?
The first interview was held at the win office and interviewers focused on questions concerning experience and motivation.
The second interview was also held at the main office. The questions from the interviewers again focused on experience and motivation and felt a little less friendly then the first interview. At the second interview I was also given a skills test which concentrated on knowledge of Word/ Excel/PowerPoint and additional quantitative questions. (Time Value, Time-Weighted Rate of Return, IRR, Beta, Alpha, etc.)
During the third interview I was offered the position but only after answering more personality and motivation questions. Although I accepted the position Company rescinded the written offer after one week due to results of a personality/IQ test.
