I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Louisville, KY)
Interview
Previous experience in the industry will be your strongest strength. However, if you have no experience in finance, you will have a high chance of success if you can show you're willing to be a team player and you're willing to work as hard as it takes to get the job done.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you feel you are the best person for this position?
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Alpharetta, GA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Decently fast paced. With great employees that asked great questions. I was thorough w my responses and didn’t apply too much pressure with assertiveness. There were a few questions I wasn’t fully prepared for so study prior to any interview anyways.
Incredibly easy, you'd need to give them a reason not to take you. I got a job in 10 minutes over the phone from getting a referral from someone. Not going to complain though.
interviewed with two Financial advisors -- not a standard interview -was more of a conversation - very laid back compared to other formal interviews-- follow up received next business day for 2nd interview
