I learned about this position at a career fair. I met with the Manager and she was really happy that I worked at McDonald's and Rita's --customer service skills. After 3 days I got an email saying she wanted to meet with me and a week later I was in her office. At this time, she discussed all the Prudential benefits, training, and what the position consist of, etc. After this meeting I had to take a Candidate Assessment Test (personality test) and later I found out if you failed this test, the interview process is basically over. I passed the test, it was basically common sense and they wanted you to take the more aggressive route as told. I came back to the office a week later which I thought would be the actual interview but we only discussed the test and I signed some paperwork. At this meeting, the manager told me about Project 200, basically a list of 200 people that you know and that could be possible clients for you as a FPA. Personally, I didn't reach 200 but I listed people that I thought would really be interested in Prudential. A week later, I finally had a real interview, it was a 3-person panel interview and they used the general interview questions. We discussed the Project 200 and she wanted me to work on it some more because she thought I didn't have enough people. Two days later I met with the Managing Director who just reiterated what the manager told me the first time I met her. Basically, this position is commissioned-based (you get out what you put in) and they are looking for people who are driven and resilient. The people there are good-natured and helpful but I don't think this is the job for me.

Make sure you understand sales and how to prospect. Professional interview with manager. Asked sales related questions and how I would manage client expectations. It was definitely a positive experience
