I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Rochester, NY) in Jun 2010
Interview
The hiring process is fast paced and relatively superficial. As a career-changer with no prior financial experience or direct sales experience, the analysis of the opportunity was presented in full detail with a multi-step explanation of compensation, benefits and growth.

Question 1
Are you financially prepared to go your first six months without a paycheck?
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.

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.
