I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Three part interview with some homework to get a feel for what you will be doing. Very comfortable and an in depth interview answering all of my questions. The interviewers were very nice and took the time to explain not only the position but the value the company has to offer. Expectations were explained early on and give you an idea of what will be required when you start. The first two interviews are to get to know you and why you'd want to be a part of the company, that last interview is the offer if they like you.

Question 1
Asked if you had ever wanted to run your own business.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
The interview asks exactly what you would expect it, but it seems almost too easy. This role is giving people interested in sales a way to practice reaching out to people and doing consultations, but nothing technical. It is a way for the company to leverage a new interns network to get people to buy their product. They basically tell you what you're going to do instead of interviewing you.
