I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
The selection process involved my understanding of the sales cycle and my knowledge of how to implement sales and marketing plans. I worked previously in the medical and pharmaceutical marketplace, and I had a minor in Finance. It was lengthy, challenging, but worth it!
