I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thrivent (San Antonio, TX) in Sept 2025
Interview
After a solid meet and greet over the phone I was sent a questionnaire wherein I was asked about who I knew. I figured they wanted me to sell to friends and family so I entered as few people as possible and sure enough got the rejection email. You won't be a financial planner in this position; you're selling life insurance to your loved ones and damaging personal relationships. Very MML-y
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Thrivent (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Multiple round interviews. Initially met with the marketing directors, then came on-site for live interviews. Final interviews were over the phone. Nothing technical, more mindset focused, making sure you are a right fit for the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you fill out your top 300 contacts in a business planning workbook?
It was pretty casual, asked me questions more about personality than technical skills. The process took around four interviews, where I met with a singular guy at first and then with a team.
Very easy going process that was made easier by great people. They are really testing to see how good your soft skills are and your ability to communicate with people.
