Question 1
Give a presentation about something you're passionate about and then tell me why you would be a good financial advisor.
Quick and to the point. Pretty much just sold the company to you. Seemed almost a little too good to be true at times. Only have had 1 interview so far waiting for the second.
Interview is to see who you are as a person, no technical questions, not too long and was generally to the point. The interview process as a whole is well organized too.
