I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Raleigh, NC) in Dec 2022
Interview
The interview process was easy and entirely behavioral. There was almost no requirement for a technical skillset, as it is mostly a sales/cold calling job. The people were very nice, and they seemed genuine about the specifics of the role. They have a few "rounds" of interviews, but they were mostly the same, and I believe it was to gauge interest and see if you could/wanted to do the job, which involves calling people and trying to bring clients to the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me why I was interested in becoming a financial advisor and whether I had knowledge of wealth management.
Very kind people, genuinely want you to be there. Both first and second round interviews were really pleasant and gave descriptions about what job would look like. They did cancel my interview twice, once for a golf tournament, but good interviewing experience.
The interview process is really laidback. Someone will contact you to get the interview process started. It is only behavioral questions and then the interviewer will describe the position in further detail.

Meet with a recruiter for initial interview and then have another second round interview to filter down candidates. All done over zoom or teams and similar to most other interviews in the field.
