I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Greenville, SC) in Jan 2013
Interview
I have applied to be an Edward Jones Financial Advisor twice. The first time I was contacted after applying and told I was not what they were looking for at the moment. The second time I filled out the online application form and personality assessment 2 years later.. I guess what I filled in was good enough to pass to the next round. They contacted me and told me that they were interested in my application, but that I needed another year running my own business.
