I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Mar 2010
Interview
I had a really good experience at the interview. The interviewee was very professional and courteous. They walk me through the whole position. They let me know why NWM and also was very encouraging. They looked at my resume and commented a little bit about it. They were very enthusiastic about having me on board and were encouraging at the end. They explain the company and its benefits.
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
