I went through a 2-1/2 month interview process with EJ and told throughout the process that I was exceeding expectations, etc. However, at the very end of the process, I didn't hear anything further and reached out to my recruiter. She told me to "hang in there" and be patient. A week and a half later, she called to tell me that I didn't have enough experience. They saw my resume and knew that I was fresh out of college, so for them to wait 2 1/2 months to then tell me I didn't have enough experience is total BS and a waste of my time! Blessing in disguise, because if they treat me like that I don't want to work for them.

Other Financial Advisor interview reviews for Edward Jones
Interview process first consists of numerous dinner events, all very laid back where you get to learn more about the company and the advisors in the region, and they get to learn more about you. If you keep getting invited back to dinners, consider it progress in the interview process. Honestly, the best, most effective interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
it's a series of interviews with people in the office then a full-day of simulating the role of the advisor where you're receiving calls from clients and team mates as well as receiving emails. As a career-changer, this was the part of the interview phase where I realized Edward Jones wasn't the right start to my career as a financial advisor and ended up going somewhere that invested in my growth rather than a "sink or swim" type of place.
Interview process is very lengthy. 6 steps, very in depth. HR screening, in person interview, 1 year plan, day in the life role play (3 hours long) where you had to call actors who were playing clients and prospects
