The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview was pretty straightforward and welcoming. I felt comfortable, but I sensed they were looking for someone with more experience. It was a 30-minute chat where they mostly wanted to hear about my past roles and asked one behavioral question.Candidate-reported process
It was a straightforward interview where they told me more about the role. They were seeking someone to start in January, but my graduation isn't until June. They mentioned they'd pass my resume along, although I doubt anything will come of it given they need someone to start ASAP.Candidate-reported process
The interview process was very straightforward and professional. I was asked a mix of behavioral and situational questions, mostly focused on my past experience supporting financial advisors, handling client interactions, and working with account documentation. The interviewers were friendly and wanted to see how I would manage multiple tasks, stay organized, and communicate with both clients and advisors. Overall, it felt more like a conversation than a high-pressure interview, and it was clear they were looking for someone dependable and detail-oriented.Candidate-reported process
