Edward Jones Financial Advisor PASS Associate interview questions

First Jones is large on finding candidates who have previous banking or investment experience. But for those fresh out of college Jones offers one of the best training programs for new advisors. First you will have to conduct normally two or three phone interviews followed by a thorough ten year background check and fingerprint scan. As well as a personality test. Normally you will have to conduct a short survey within your community going door to door or business to business seeing if meeting people and introducing yourself is something you could be good or comfortable doing as a career. If you make in to the interview you normally will interview with a veteran advisor who is a General Partner in the area. If you make it past that you will be hired on as a trainee and begin studying for both your series 7 and 66. Upon successful passing of both those licensed tests you will begin attending training classes in wide range of investments as well how Jones services its clients and potential clients. Overall the hiring process could take two months but that is expected within a highly regulated employment occupation.

It was a hard interview, be ready for STAR questions and think of things your going to talk about before. Overall they just want to know if you will fit within there company culture. Most likely will get moved on through the whole process, sounds like a good opportunity if you willing to put in the work. I got in trouble with the law during the interview process so I was dropped. Otherwise just basic interview questions.
