I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Denver, CO) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview itself was a very low-stress interview. I only had two interviews, one with a phone recruiter and one with the manager. In the second interview you are told about Plan 150, a process in which you find 150 people to network from. Then you have certain licensing needed in order to sell the insurance that you will inevitably be trying to sell.
