      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Aug 2024

      Interview

      They called me for a phone screen but I missed the call. I called them back when I was free a few hours later and I continued to call them daily for a few days. I’m not desperate for a job, so I stopped calling. The recruiter said they’d be available that same day to talk, but they were not. This is a terrible recruiting experience. My application was submitted a month ago, and I’m just now hearing back from NM. However, now I’ve been ghosted.

      Question 1

      Can you call me back today?
