J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Edward Jones (Detroit, MI) en juin 2017
Entretien
Long drawn out interview process. I got to the last interview before the virtual thing. Edward Jones is mostly male and has the same problem most companies in Financial Advising have, they don't know how to attract or even how to interview female candidates. It's an industry problem. I have interviewed with a few companies for financial advisor they all have the same problem.
As boomers retire they are big assets clients but they are going to be replaced with a younger generation that is more equal in the sexes.Gen X is middle aged and then millennials... So what are they going to do when, it's women and they don't golf? or don't have any financial advisors who can keep or attract female investment clients?
I will be okay, I have 3 degrees and will end up in a more diverse type company and industry...so glad I have a degree in Accounting and not just Finance...moving to a more diverse industry. I will say the other advisors who help you are helpful and great people.

Interview process first consists of numerous dinner events, all very laid back where you get to learn more about the company and the advisors in the region, and they get to learn more about you. If you keep getting invited back to dinners, consider it progress in the interview process. Honestly, the best, most effective interview process.

it's a series of interviews with people in the office then a full-day of simulating the role of the advisor where you're receiving calls from clients and team mates as well as receiving emails. As a career-changer, this was the part of the interview phase where I realized Edward Jones wasn't the right start to my career as a financial advisor and ended up going somewhere that invested in my growth rather than a "sink or swim" type of place.

Interview process is very lengthy. 6 steps, very in depth. HR screening, in person interview, 1 year plan, day in the life role play (3 hours long) where you had to call actors who were playing clients and prospects
