Colloquio
I submitted my resume and got a call back a week later. They scheduled my interview and sent me an email asking me to think about where I'd want to be in 3-5 years. I went through the first interview without a hitch, but they wanted a second interview. Before the second interview, I read up on Northwestern Mutual and found out that they essentially ask you to sell insurance to your friends and family. I hinted at this in the second interview, after I got the position, by asking what exactly it was that I'd be doing for them, and they verified this. Although I appreciate the interview practice, I don't appreciate being misled.

Interviews were very easy. Didn't feel like there was any competition. Met with a recruiter, director of growth, and didn't go through with final interview. Needed to fill out referrals sheet and conduct interviews that concluded with asking if they would be interested in my service.

Teams call with the director of recruiting who was herself a skilled salesperson and had her script memorized to a tee. This was clearly a commission sales job where the candidate would have to use their own connections to generate their own leads. But, the product isn't terrible or outside my wheelhouse so I was interested in continuing with the process. I then failed their outdated "personality test", the type which has been debunked as completely ineffective, so the director of recruiting told me my candidacy was "on pause".
