I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Bethlehem, PA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Initially, I met with a recruiter at a college career fair in Pennsylvania. After speaking with the recruiter and giving her a resume, she later called me to schedule a group interview with other interested about to graduate students. This entailed a presentation and went over all aspects of the job. It seemed to good to be true, they were selling the position strongly. Saying you can be making an extensive amount within 2-3 years. They called me the following week after this and asked to schedule another interview- I declined for several reasons.
