Want to work @ EDJ

Do you even workout bro??

Just an update: Have my face to face interview next week. So far it has mostly been them trying to make sure I actually want the job. They emphasize the down sides a lot. If someone makes it through the process and is then suprised by the challenge they would have to be a genuine idiot.

My gut is this next interview will be more the traditional "are you good enough for us" sort of thing.

They are not making me do the survey thing. I don't know if that's new policy or if they can just already tell I'm a stud.

The F2F will be heavy on behaviorial interview questions. If you are not familiar and practiced in answering them then you will fail.  Google some sample and practice.  You are going in to talk to true believers who will take the attitude of...why should I risk my LP capital on hiring you?......thats the culture...if you come off as too cool for the room, the former gym teacher/ beer truck driver/ amusement park character will blow you off pretty quick. 

Survey activity got nixed a couple months ago.  Too much liability to send someone who hasnt even been hired to knock on doors....as stupid as it was, it gave a slice of what they will expect from you for a while.

I faked my survey and still got the job.

Thanks. That scares me into really preparing for this.

jtp....i cant quite figure you out.....but just realize you arent going to interview with some 25 yr old HR chick or duechebag manager.  These EJ FAs have a very high opinion of themselves and the firm....if you are going to take it lightly than dont waste your time....i can give two shits where you go.  There may be a better fit for you but if you are thinking EJ you better guzzle the Kool-aid cuz your are going to be swimming in it for the foreseeable future. 

NOH...awesome avatar!

Here's an idea for your summer regional dress up night.

Alright I hear ya....seriously google behavioral questions and practice a bunch of them. It has to be a conversation and you will want to show that you represent well face to face. Speak their language as much as possible. 25 contacts is MINIMUM!!!! always aim to "EXCEED"....you do not have to tie in why selling auto upgrades translates well to financial sales , but you do have to show how you came to provide the solution to the customers needs.   Be genuine, be humble, be confident. You should be ok.

As for the schmucks from earlier....comes with the territory here....especially if you are going to go with Jones.   There is no better place to find real honest feedback in this fucked up biz from people who have done it or or are doing it than here so embrace the love!!!!

I also faked my prospecting between Can-Sell and Eval/Grad.  I think I went to twenty houses.

I was cavalier earlier in this thread because I was responding to schmucks who made fun of me for selling tires when all I did was answer their question as to what I currently sell for a living. As far as drinking the kool-aid I've drank it hard at my current job and it has worked. I make more than anyone else I know in my company at my position because I just do exactly what they trained me to do and I sell hard as fuck all day long. My plan at EDJ would be to do the exactly the same thing but with a drastically higher income potential. I'm taking this very seriously.
