I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Houston, TX)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter after applying online. I went into the local office for a face to face interview and the interview went well. The office had a great atmosphere and the people who were interviewing me really seemed to want to get to know me on a personal level. The company is great, I just wasn't comfortable with only making commission.

Question 1
Name a time you were in a difficult situation and how did you deal with it?
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
