      Financial Advisor Interview

      Mar 18, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Vanguard

      Interview

      It was a really great experience, the interviewer was really nice and tried to keep me calm. I was sure that they did not hire International students but I had decided to give it a try anyway. During the interview I asked and they told me no, so it never really went anywhere after that.
