| Edward Jones is
one of the most well respected financial advising firms in the nation.
They sell numerous types of financial instruments from life insurance
to securities. Ranked as one of the 100 best places to work, Edward
Jones provides their financial advisors with training that is
unmatched in the industry. Unlike some other firms in the industry,
Edward Jones is a partnership and as you grow in the company you have
the opportunity of sharing the
wealth.
Edward Jones has an extensive training program that makes sure that
you have all of the tools you need to succeed in a very competitive
industry. For recent college graduates, they have two different
training programs to help you learn the business. For those who have
financial service experience, you can jump right into the training
program and begin to learn you business. For those who have great
potential, but do not necessarily have the financial service
experience, they have another program that is suited to get you up to
speed.
As
far as recruitment goes, Edward Jones has a pretty intense process for
hiring new advisors. They have a long application process which is
explained on their website ( www.edwardjones.com
). However, you could be running your very own business
after only a year or two with the company and having your own branch
so it is definitely worth the effort. If that does not sound like it
is for you, they periodically have headquarter opportunities available
as well in both Tempe and St.
Louis.
Edward Jones has a very informative website including all of the
information you would need if you are interested in this career field.
Just keep in mind that they are looking for the best of the best
people and you will increase your chances of getting the job through
preparing as much as possible. The thing that they are really looking
for is ambitious people who are willing to take on the challenge. It
does not really matter what your major is, as long as you are willing
to commit to working hard and finding clients.
