I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Cincinnati, OH) in May 2011
Interview
Three separate interviews at their office. Prior to that you complete some online surveys to determine if you are a good fit. First interview explains how the internship works and compensation. Second interview you have to submit 200 names and numbers of people to telephone and are given more information on the internship. Third interview is the job offer.
