I recently had a conversation with a recruiter from Northwestern Mutual for a financial advisor position. I'm 26 and have a diverse background with experience in bartending, art, teaching, nonprofit work, volunteering, and bookkeeping, along with an associate's degree in accounting. The role is independent contracting, and they emphasize extensive training, especially in the early years. I found the call engaging, and we connected well, which made me feel positive about the opportunity. However, I'm a bit apprehensive since I don't have a traditional resume and I'm not a natural salesperson. I plan to visit their office next week dressed in business professional attire, even though I don't own any yet. I have tattoos and piercings, but I can cover most of them. I'm curious if anyone has experience in a similar role and can share their insights. It feels like a big leap for someone my age, and I'm concerned about the perception of being a younger advisor. I'm also unsure about the qualifications needed and what questions I should ask during my next meeting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
