Finance Questions

Question: I'm getting a financial advisor interview, what would it be like?

I have a background in finance, and I am very interested in Financial planning. I don't know if it's good to start my career as a financial advisor.

Answer: I do not mean to discourage you but usually the hiring in the industry is a long process. Certain companies would not even do the interview without filling out an assessment test as well as some math questions. Others meet with you first and then test you. Anyway I would expect at least three interviews. Most companies would ask you to present a business plan. In general, the first interview would be an overview of the company and then some questions about you, your background,affiliations with different organizations and of course why you would like to work for that particular firm. If you show energy and real passion you will do great. I went through the whole process a bunch of times and I got hired everywhere I applied. I had to go back for 5 interviews with a particular company and some of them were 2-4 hours long. Wish you best of luck!
