I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY) in Jan 2009
Interview
Hiring process was highly correlated to the business model. Very much like cold calling. They trawl job boards for resumes and invite a large number of applicants to interview. This number is cut by 1/3 several times along the way until about 10% are extended offers. Of these, only about 1/3 are expected to make it past the first year.
The interview process serves as a very good indicator of the persona
I applied online. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors
Interview
Online video interview that was vague on job duties. Interview length was fast and convincing I was a good fit but there was no follow up. Company will ghost you.

2 rounds of phone interviews and then 1 interview in office where you make a presentation about prospecting for clients once you would have the role. Phone calls were behavioral while the in office was more about your plan to succeed

3-4 one on one with manager. Very casual and more of a convo. Almost zero questions that were relevant to cold calling even tho that’s the whole job. Had to tell jokes
