I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Honolulu, HI) in Mar 2014
Interview
Sat down with a higher level Agent in the office that described the job. Showed me the compensation and explained the basics of what was required. Had to pass the required tests to become licensed in my state to sell Life, Disability and Long Term Care insurance on my own time. Took a personality test which management uses to try and integrate personnel into the office culture.

Question 1
Are you comfortable working in a commission only environment?
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
Interview
The process was smooth and straight forward. A lot of behavioral based questions, but relaxed and low stress. First phase is a phone screening followed by a teams or in person meeting.
