Interview
CFA uses a very rigorous 12-24 month screening process for selecting Owner/Operators. It is based on the book "Who" by Smart & Street. There are seven stages to the process and each stage has a specific purpose As an example, in the Topgrading stage the interviewers review your educational and employment history in EXTREME detail. They start at high school and work forward to the present. In this stage they are looking for trends - positive and negative.
The interviewers are extremely professional and courteous. They reflect the high value the CFA organization places on valuing the individual. They are very quick to give you the results of your most recent step. They understand that the lengthy nature of their process can be disruptive and they work very hard to minimize that.
This company is a class act.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You told us about leaving Employer A because Employer B made you an "offer you couldn't refuse". But certainly there had to be something at Employer A that wasn't quite as you wanted it to be to make you leave. Can you tell me about that?

Interview
Filled out long application asking for my whole life story including financial records, work history, etc. then video interview that was 4 questions. The video interview was sent via email and had 14 days to complete. Still pending next steps
The interview process was in-depth, so make sure you plan accordingly. The process is self-explanatory. Remember CFA is looking for top talent that fits in with their corporate values, think servant leaders.

Interview
After basically stealing all your very private and personal financial information they show you a prerecorded motivational video with 95% White people before a pre-recorded interview process where the first question was actually 2 questions lol. I read two Truitt books and shared my knowledge and they did not care. You almost feel like you were rejected for not being white or seeming like a person who would serve White people.
