I sent my resume and cover letter to Edward Jones, and was contacted via email about five days later that they wanted to set up an interview with me. I had to log in and schedule my interview time, and then I was given a link to an online application. The application was extremely long and detailed, and I had 24 hours to fill it out before my phone interview. I was then contacted via phone around my scheduled time. The interviewer was much like a robot, and asked me a series of situational questions such as "How would you handle a difficult customer?" and so on. It does require you to think on your feet, but is not much different from a regular interview. It lasted about half an hour. I wasn't offered a face-to-face interview, but I'm rather happy about that, as I found their process long and drawn out.

I am interviewing with them and so far so good. I did 5 steps and now I am waiting to see if I get an offer or not. It was very difficult but they were very nice during the interviews.
