J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Prudential (Sherman Oaks, CA) en sept. 2012
Entretien
Spent a lot of time talking about WFG. Seems that they have a lot of similarities:
-manager must go out on field training with associate
-the company will demand a prospect list of friends/family
-seeking aggressive sales people
Another similarity is lack of full disclosure.
For example, the manager said that the survey I would be required to complete has no right or wrong answers, but it is scored. WFG also lacks full disclosure on things you will be asked to spend money on, like conventions, shirts and Elite classes (which charge fines in addition to class enrollment fees). Many of these 'extra' costs vary from office to office.

Make sure you understand sales and how to prospect. Professional interview with manager. Asked sales related questions and how I would manage client expectations. It was definitely a positive experience

Although the interviewer was nice, you could tell they were trying to get people through the door and didn't care much about background. They were trying to sell me the job versus the other way around, which is typically a red flag.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Prudential (New York, NY)
Entretien
Interviewed for the New York, NY (Manhattan) branch. The whole interview process consisted of 3 interviews. First was an in-personal introduction to the role and the company, and where everything about the position and branch was broken down to you. This is basically just a time for the recruiter to gain a better sense of who you are, so don't stress about it. They are only going to spend a fraction of the time asking you personal questions. They are basic questions like, introducing yourself. Second interview was done over the phone, and this is where more traditional interview questions were asked. Nearly all questions focused around a "tell me about a time when..." style. None of them are super hard, and they should all be pretty basic if you have been through an interview somewhere else. The final interview was with the head of the branch, also done over the phone. This was more like a conversation than an interview. We basically just talked about the role, the lifestyle and culture of the role, and things along those lines. Overall, pretty easy interview process, and I had a good time with it overall. The time it took from applying to receiving the offer was just about a month, so the process was very efficient as well.
