I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
Contacted through a recruiter. The interview process took about 3 weeks. First, I was asked to fill out a questionnaire to see my suitability with the company. After that was a phone screening, followed by 3 different rounds of interviews. The overall process was smooth. The actual interviews that took place coincide with your suitability and fit within the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how would you rank yourself out of all your friends
Incredibly easy, they aim to hire anyone with a pulse to sell life insurance and annuities. Beware of the comp structure and ask about the bonus and override your manager will get from all of your work.
Very laid back. I was never asked any question about my job experience or any of the sorts. The interview consisted of a 15 minute conversation of small talk and getting to know the VP of the team you will be working under. The second stage was at the office location where you learn about the company and meet some of the staff.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Boca Raton, FL)
Interview
Very easy interview, not too many questions they ask more listening to what they have to say about the role. Just know that you’ll have to find prospects on your own when starting off
