I applied through college or university. I interviewed at ING (Philadelphia, PA) in Oct 2012
Interview
ING Recruiters attended my colleges Career Fair. After talking with them they asked for my resume and a few days later called to set up an information session.
Information was in Philadelphia with about 20 others. They gave a whole presentation led by one of the "Vice Presidents" (Practically everyone is a VP, it is a designation you get if you bring in a certain amount of assets under management in your first 3 yrs)
The goal is to bring one new client per week. Starting with your "Natural Market" Basically hitting up your family and friends. You pay for all study materials and are unpaid while studying for your series 6, 66, 7 ect. After you pass they will reimburse you and you can start working.
After information session anyone still interested was invited to sign up for an initial interview. In this interview they basically tell you the same thing they did in the information session. Ask you why you want to be a financial advisor, how you thing you would be successul. The big thing here is that "You are running your own business". Talk about building relationships, I had a "lawn business" when I was in middle school and high school so I talked about that.
At the end of this interview they might ask you to schedule another interview with the "VP". They asked me to come up with a presentation about
- "Why I want to be a financial advisor"
- "Why ING?"
- "Why should we hire you?"
- They want you to come up with local events where you live where you could "table" and solicit clients
- The last thing was to come up with 20+ people in your "Natural Market" who would each hand you $100,000 to invest for them.
They offered me the position following my presentation. I made a powerpoint and just printed out the slides. VP said he was impressed with the time and effort I put into it.
I called a few days later and turned it down. I felt as though they aren't taking a risk in new hires. If you fail it benefits them, they would just get what ever clients you have.
There is no base salary when you start. You get nothing until your first commission.

Professionali, chiariscono tutti i dubbi e il processo per diventare consulenti finanziari. Per entrare nella ING Academy c'è prima un incontro conoscitivo e dopo si verrà eventualmente ricontattati. È una buona opportunità sul lungo periodo, in ogni caso è positivo che siano super chiari nello spiegarti come diventarlo e i pro e i contro.
