I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (Nashville, TN) in Mar 2010
Interview
I first met the hiring manager at a job fair at the Marriott Hotel in Nashville. I was asked to come back where the first interview consisted of me taking a skills test and personality test. I was asked to return again and spoke about the pay and benefit structure and was given a task to list 200 people in which I know and would contact regarding business. The third interview consisting of discussing any questions I had about Prudential and to begin developing a marketing plan. The fourth interview was to meet the president of the Southeastern Financial in Atlanta for a face to face introduction. I was called with an offer a day later.

Question 1
Are there 200 people you would be comfortable contacting when beginning a business.
Conversational. Almost seemed more like they were trying to sell me on the concept of working there. The language and metrics used to describe the job seem to exaggerate reality.

Question 1
How do you feel about cold outreach/talking to people you don't know?
I applied online. I interviewed at Prudential in Jan 2026
Interview
Very easy process. One round virtual and then two in person with the regional hiring manager. Very conversational and laid back. The second in person interview was mostly going over information regarding the commission structure
Thorough and quick, though consistent contact was a bit of an issue. I was a bit confused about time and the employee did not show up to the first scheduled interview, as there was a bit of a gap with regards to communication.
