      Analyst Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in May 2016

      Interview

      We sat down and went over my resume together-talked about my strengths and weaknesses and interests. We also talked a lot about my personality--whether I'm introverted or extroverted, shy or outgoing, whether I excel at communication. They then give you a packet of 10 questionnaires to take home. You are to cold call 10 people you know and fill out the questionnaires--the last question asks you to ask them for 3-5 other people they know that you could call. Basically, they want to test whether or not you can create a network from your current network. I don't excel at cold calls, so this was difficult for me. When I came back for the second interview I had all 10 questionnaires filled out, but hadn't gotten any references for new people from the people I had called. This is what they cared about. He offered me a second chance to try again and get those references, but I ultimately decided against it. I was under the impression that this was an analyst position because that's what the intern program is called, but it is truly a sales job where you bring your own network to the company and receive commision.

      Question 1

      Do you consider yourself extroverted or introverted--does talking to people all day tire you out?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual

      Interview

      One initial recruiter call. The recruiter never put me in touch with the hiring team. I recommend that hiring managers take the time to interview qualified candidates. I have little faith that the recruiter accurately gaged my skillset as they didn’t seem to understand certain aspects of the role.

      I was in contact with the recruiter and she invited me to an information session. After, she told me I would be able to schedule and interview. I emailed her multiple times and never got a reply. Unprofessional.
