The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Clinton, NJ) in Jan 2012
Interview
Contacted by HR women to come in for interview with Managing Director. 1st interview was all about explaining the Mutual Fit process about the company and career. After that took and personality test online and came back in for 2nd interview, was told how I was a perfect fit for this career. After asking questions about compensation I found out the position is 100% commission based and they require candidates to fill out 10 market survey's that require you to interview family and friends in your network and analyze if they would be good clients for you in the future to sell their products to. Ended the interview process after this, didn't want to start my career selling life insurance as a recent college grad with virtually no network of potential clients.

Interview
Interviews were very easy. Didn't feel like there was any competition. Met with a recruiter, director of growth, and didn't go through with final interview. Needed to fill out referrals sheet and conduct interviews that concluded with asking if they would be interested in my service.

Interview
Teams call with the director of recruiting who was herself a skilled salesperson and had her script memorized to a tee. This was clearly a commission sales job where the candidate would have to use their own connections to generate their own leads. But, the product isn't terrible or outside my wheelhouse so I was interested in continuing with the process. I then failed their outdated "personality test", the type which has been debunked as completely ineffective, so the director of recruiting told me my candidacy was "on pause".
