I just interviewed with Edward Jones and it was awful! It took 2 months and they were completely disorganized. One woman just randomly called me and I asked her if it was part of the interview process and she said no but it probably was. It was completely unprofessional.

Corpo shills will say it was all your fault, you weren't "positive" enough. They probably don't even have a job to begin with, just interviewing to test the market and collect resumes.

Yes — don’t take it personal. Companies screw candidates over everyday, and they very well may not even want to hire someone. My manager recently informed me [been at firm for over 2 years now] that they were searching for a candidate for over 11 months, and went through 40 different candidates that made it to final round for one position. Glad they found me lol. Crazy, right?

Was it an Advisor in the region who called you? They were most likely on the growth team and wanted to answer any additional questions you might be having or let you get a second opinion from another advisor. Interviewing for an FA position is very different than a salary position in another capacity. If you aren’t comfortable talking to multiple people at whim, than the FA job probably isn’t for you.

Agreed- I used to get these sorts of solicitations all the time from regional folks. Having excellent relationship building skills, product know, marketing, sales, certifications, among others helps for advisor roles.
