I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Columbia, MD) in Nov 2013
Interview
Interview process was long and arduous. Began with a quick phone interview followed by a long, 30 minute phone interview. After both of those I was asked to come into the office for an in person interview. Was then asked back two different times until I dropped out of the process because I was frustrated with having to come back so many different times without any indication to salary of the job or if I was close to being offered anything. Each time I had to drive all the way to the office as well, which was over thirty minutes for me. My interviewer was very nice however, but sugar-coated what I would be doing, which was mostly cold-calling.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were not difficult, the interviewer made it clear that there was a long training process so no experience was required. Therefore, they most just asked basic questions like "tell me about yourself" etc. and just wanted to make sure you were someone who was eager and very personable. They also in the second interview have you talk to two different advisors in order for you to better understand the position and for other people in the company to be able to approve of you basically.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.

I applied online. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors
Interview
Online video interview that was vague on job duties. Interview length was fast and convincing I was a good fit but there was no follow up. Company will ghost you.

2 rounds of phone interviews and then 1 interview in office where you make a presentation about prospecting for clients once you would have the role. Phone calls were behavioral while the in office was more about your plan to succeed
