I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
The manager was very helpful. He made the interview go smoothly. Like a chitchat between business to business. I felt less nervous since he's very friendly and thoroughly. The open house career workshop is very helpful and informative. Vice president of the company displaced a vivid demonstration of how and what the company targets. Also, the company will reimburse for tests required for financial advisor need (i.e. Series 66,7, etc).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be prepared to answer some questions about your target market. From this, the manager will guide you towards your business goal at the company.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
First there was a screening phone call. Next there was a 30 minute interview. The last one was a 45 minute interview. They ask a little bit about yourself and mostly then just tell you about the company and the job.
Interview questions [1]
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.
