I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Fairfax, VA) in Nov 2008
Interview
The IQ intelligence test was made up of true/false and multiple choice questions. It was timed for about 10-15 minutes. They are hospitable and friendly. The upper management seems very busy seeing they were late to all 3 interviews. Even the interview seemed rushed as they needed to head out to a different meeting somewhere else.

2 rounds of phone interviews and then 1 interview in office where you make a presentation about prospecting for clients once you would have the role. Phone calls were behavioral while the in office was more about your plan to succeed

The interview process was quick and simple. The major hurdle is passing your exams post Interview. You have a total of three exams. None are individual difficult but can be a challenge if you tackle it unprepared .
