      Financial Planner Interview

      Jul 18, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Orlando, FL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at New York Life (Orlando, FL) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Interviewer immediately commented that I I was in my bedroom and wearing regular cloths for the job interview, stating that "this is a fortune 100 company and what i am wearing is very unprofessional. I did research on the role beforehand, it is entirely commission based and relies on you networking to your friends and family, similar to a financial advisor at northwestern mutual or other such companies. Why would I put on an entire suit in the comfort of my own home for a 15 minute first interview, for a role that isn't even salary. I would suggest the company look at persons experience and skills before their appearance. If they would like to get an impression of how an individual presents themselves in a professional setting, then schedule an in person interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at New York Life

      Interview

      This was not the job they advertised, it ended up being Insurance sales. The interviewer was rude, crude and over the top. He showed me pictures of his wife and bragged about his lavish vacations.
