Edward Jones interview questions

Very thorough and long. They choose their candidates very carefully. The process involves meeting with several advisors. There is simulated role play with an advisor. Lot of end user situations.

I had 4 stages to the interview process: 1. Phone screen with the recruiter 2. Interview with a Financial Advisor in your region 3. Business Plan Activity - 5 Year Plan and Day-to-Day Plan For Prospecting 4. Day in the Life Assessment The Day in the Life Assessment is by far the most important stage. My interviewer at Stage 2 went ahead and told me that he gave me the highest marks for he could, so my denial must have been because of my assessment. Best advice for your assessment I can give is to have a solid plan going in. Know who you are going to call and why. Stick to your plan and when the "paid actors" try to trip you up don't panic. The advisors that are the most successful are the ones that start immediately and make calls/send emails consistently throughout the allotted time. Definitely a numbers game. Show initiative, by ready for meetings, and you will do great.
