I sent in my resume in June of 2015 and was called back immediately to discuss the opportunity. I informed the recruiter that I was looking to relocate but didn't have a time-frame in mind, and she invited me to a dinner that included a panel of advisors to answer questions in July. They followed-up for several months until I agreed to meet with a local FA, who encouraged me to go through the interview process to get my "yes or no" out of the way, and I agreed to move forward. I had my first phone interview on 4/15, followed by my face-to-face interview on 5/10. There was a bit of a delay in this step because candidates are supposed to interview with their local region, and since I was looking to relocate, they had to decide how to handle this. They decided to allow me to interview locally (didn't require me to travel to the relocation region). My business plan was due on 5/19, my final phone interview on 5/25, and my day-in-the-life assessment was scheduled 6/6. The final phone interview was my most difficult hurdle because the recruiter was really limiting my responses to my current role... a role that really has no goals, teamwork, etc... I was told that 80% of candidates are weeded out by the first phone interview, and for those that pass, the most weight is put on the day-in-the-life assessment. I was told that if you make it to the day-in-the-life, 2/3 will pass and 1/3 will fail, and it's scored as strong, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory. I had a "strong" score.
