I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Found the listing through Craigslist. Pretty sure that if you have a pulse they will interview you. 3 interviews total. All behavorial and very easy, but in the last one, you have to make a presentation to a real agent on why you want to join them.
Also have to take a personality test and come up with 100 names of people you will call after your first round interview.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why Northwestern, will you have enough people to call during the summer?
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
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.

Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
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.
