ING Financial Advisor interview questions

3 step process 1)group presentation where the "VP" comes in and tells you how hard the position is and how you will have to sell financial plans to friends and family. 2)one on one interview where they go over their system of compensation. No salary, all commission. They write it down on a piece of paper and I get the feeling that they do not even understand the system. 3) final interview with the VP where you have to bring in a marketing plan for yourself and identify all the people you are going to target to sell to. Then you ask a bunch of standard interview questions. Come prepared for questions of your own. NOTE: Beware that you also find out that to work there you need to pass your series 6, 7,66, LAH or combination. They also say you will be compensated for the exams but only if you score a 98% or better on them (not easy) or you bring in a certain amount of business in the first few weeks of employment. You also find out that as an "independent contractor" you have to license the ING name personally, pay for their office space, and your own insurance (they pay the first year of insurance) in any case you are looking at starting the month owing ING several hundred dollars! Plus as a contractor get ready to contribute more to social security/taxes/ and pay your own health insurance.

This job is a joke. Its commission only (which they lie about to get you there) and they don't even pay for your testing requirements. I was told I'd have a one on one interview but instead I was crammed into a conference room with 15 other people. Absolute Joke!
