      Financial Advisor Interview

      Jun 21, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Jan 2011

      Interview

      Interview process from my experience clearly seemed to be a waste of time. I only took the 1st interview which was a phone interview. it lasted for an hr and a half. after the phone interview the HR sent me a huge package where i had to fill out 100 potential clients to build up my "clientele" after that i was suppose to go i n for a 1:1 interview and also a presentation. Which i decided not to follow up onto the process since it seemed like such a waste of time

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual

      Interview

      I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual

      Interview

      Fortunately it was a decent introduction call. Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it. Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
