I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Portland, OR) in Oct 2010
Interview
I went to a group interview and then a 1:1 Interview. At the 1:1 interview, I was offered the opportunity to continue with the process, and was asked to prepare a marketing plan with their materials. During the 1:1, some questions about the salary were brushed over, and it was made clear that I would need to make an up front investment to get licensing, and their offer to "reimburse" the expense did not cover more than 10% of the expected costs. The office was nice and the people seemed to be professional. I think that AXA's platform is much better suited to am established, licensed financial advisor as opposed to an entry-level one.

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 .
