The game is out there. Either play or get played.

Yeah I'm trying to start at jones any phone screen tips would be appreciated. I'm not going to mention my personal investing stuff at all because I really just did light research and gambled. Just focusung on that i want to generate clients and be sales oriented
I know people say bad stuff about jones but I'd be really greatful for a job there and I think it's right for me. I have a good finance education but no experience. After college I started my own business that failed after three years so I don't have a lot of options at this point and have honest interest in the field Edited by Jts01 - Aug/09/2017 at 11:17pm |

Go meet a local EJ guy and get him to submit your resume. Most hires happen that way over the Internet applications. You can throw in investing, but they don't give a shit. Your passion is sales, being in control of your own check, and "building your own business".....gotta go throw up about that last point
And everyone that would buy that bullshit policy you're taking about has 250k. It's not a lot really. If a 60 yr old has only this and no pension, they are fucked. Think IRAs and 401ks. Forced savings. Not cash laying around. If you saw my newest client, you'd think they are broke. Driving an old Hyundai and moderate house, but they've been putting away in retirement accounts for 30 yrs along with their employer match and pretending that money doesn't exist. They will be great clients and will retire just fine. |

Yeah I went and met with local ej guy and he submitted me to get phone screened. He was straight with me and we had a good convo about how to make it in the business. Great guy. I have the phone screen tomorrow so any tips would be cool but I think I'll be ok |

Make a list of examples where you stood out in sales capacities. Be prepared to describe those examples in a STAR format. Situation, Task, action, result. Have some questions ready. Demonstrate knowledge of what it takes to become a successful advisor by citing research you've done. Explain why you 'chose' Jones over other firms based on that research. Google 'Edward Jones interview'. There's about 10000 posts you can read. |

All I can confirm is that you need to go local and somehow get your name in the hopper. The internet process is complete bullshit.

I definitely join in on the Jones Hate stuff sometimes but it really is a great place to start- and for some people to stay, obviously. Good luck

I think it went well other than 1 or 2 behavioral questions I struggled with... they were similar so I gave similar answers. Might be screwed
