In these economic times, it is hard to find a job as it is, now you have these pyramid companies taking advantage of people that have their backs against the wall (financially speaking).
I live in Brooklyn and traveled all the way to New Jersey to go to their interview. They told me they are looking for financial advisors or financial planners they are interested in training, WRONG.
You are basically selling life insurance and not advising anyone at all. They claim they will sponsor your series 7 license and whatever other license you need to sell this crap to people, but then SURPRISE, they want you to pay $800 studying material to Kaplan. They obviously have a deal with Kaplan and you know they must be getting a cut if they are giving Kaplan business. I have a Bachelors' degree, I never had to pay $800 for study material, only for ONE class.
In addition, they say this job is perfect for the right person, which translates into YOU knowing people who makes 6 figures a year who TRUST YOU and you'd be expected to sell your friends and family this life insurance.
I only went to my second interview to be further justify the doubts I had from the very beginning. You will not be a financial planner. You will not be trained to be a financial advisor.
they want you to sell their insurance to your friends and family who make 6 figures. If you don't know anyone who makes that much, or don't find anyone who makes that much, forget it. You are no good to them. Please take my advice and stay away. They will randomly select people from Job search engines like, careerbuilder or monster.com.
DELETE THE EMAIL AND KEEP LOOKING FOR A JOB that you can invest in, not the other way around.
