I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Bala Cynwyd, PA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I submitted my resume through my university's career center and received a phone call asking me to schedule a phone "interview". This interview lasted about 10 minutes and really consisted of a summary of what the job entails. I was then asked to go into their office for a longer, in-person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me something about yourself that isn't on your resume.
You do an introductory call, then an in-person meeting, and finally a business plan presentation. This take place over a couple weeks and as long as you are confident and somewhat professional and are up for what the role requires, you will get through the interview process.
The first interview was a prelim phone call with the talent recruiter and then a second call with the Regional Vice President. I was then notified by email that I would not continue with the interview process
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
2 phone call interviews then an in-person in the office with 2-3 employees in management. The phone calls are more informative with a lot of time for you to ask questions.
