I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at John Hancock (Lenexa, KS) in Feb 2010
Interview
After applying through my University's career system, I was asked to take an online personality profile test to see if my personality matched the characteristics necessary for the Financial Advisor position. I received an email that said my personality was a match, and was offered an initial interview. My interviewer did ask several questions about my knowledge of the industry as well as what I believed the position entailed, but for the most part I was 'sold' the company as well as the job. Though I was initially exited about the possibility for tremendous financial gains as well as establishing a loyal customer base, the solely commission based pay structure is not suited well for an upcoming college graduate like myself. I was offered a second (and possibly more intensive) interview, but refused as the job did not seem ideal for starting a post-grad career.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at John Hancock (Rocky Hill, CT) in Jun 2014
Interview
When arriving, no one was there to great you. Sat there for 25 minutes before someone realized I was there. The office was a debacle. Hiring Manager answered all questions without answering the questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at John Hancock (Addison, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
The interview process was very laid back. It seemed as though they needed to convince me that I wanted the job more than me convincing them I was a good candidate. The process was pretty informal and while the offices were very nice I didn't get the feeling the place was for me.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at John Hancock (Boston, MA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Fairly simple - 3 rounds - Each interviewer asked behavioral questions surrounding previous experiences. They wanted to know what type of person you are (Type A or Type B). The key is to act motivated and excited to be there.
