Interview
I recently interviewed for a position that was advertised as a "Financial Professional -Entry Level (Associate)," but it turned out the role was actually for a Financial Advisor, which was unexpected and a bit confusing.
During the interview, I found the questions to be quite broad. While I was doing my best to answer, I was repeatedly told that my responses weren’t detailed or specific enough, which was discouraging. The interviewer seemed to expect very in-depth answers for general questions, and it felt challenging to meet those expectations despite my best efforts.
I would recommend more clarity in both the job posting and the interview approach. Clearer, more specific questions aligned with the role would help candidates better prepare and provide more relevant answers.

Interview
Great process. I had a phone interview then got invited for an in person interview. Got explained the position and the growth opportunity. Then got offered to join and it took about a month to get started.
Zoom meeting with other people narrowed down to the next process. Then zoom with hiring. Went through the process of learning about insurance sales and the company itself. They discussed previous experience in an unrelated field.
