I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Oakbrook Terrace, IL) in May 2014
Interview
Phone screen with Manager, spoke briefly about financial background, mentality of what it would be like in the workforce and the day to day operations from the office on a daily basis.
Manager stressed during the interview that it is not the easiest path to take but for the right person you can definitely succeed and reap the financial awards that come with working hard day in and day out

Question 1
What Makes you different than the other advisers? This will make you succeed.
The interview process had several rounds, one that was a panel in front of an MD, and a few with a specific hiring Manager. It was swift, kind, and to the point. The communication throughout the process was excellent.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.
