i heard toyota might be hiring some new salesman soon?  if you can prove that you can sell some camry’s after everything thats happened, jones might hire you then if you show them that on your resume and offer up some packets of kool-aid

You probably didn’t need a drug test because you wore a Grateful Dead T-shirt and wreaked of Patuli Oil during your interview.

I also got denied employment at Jones during the interview process. My RL gave me the silver bullet and I got through. I thought I interviewed well and still don’t know why I got denied. Now I’m in my 16 month selling and am “drowning in kool aid”. Go ahead and give it your best shot with the RL. At least then you won’t wonder what would have happened if you tried…

Well everyone, turns out the RL had already used all his bullets.  No such luck.
Looks like I’ll have to reapply again at a later date when I have more experience.

Billionaire,

I will tell you what nobody else on here will.  Save yourself while you still can and avoid the EJs and wirehouses.  If you seriously want to have a career as an advisor consider applying at an RIA.  At first the pay will be less, a lot less, and you'll do a lot more s*** work in the beginning, in the long run though you'll make more money, probably end up with equity ownership in the firm and your book, and not have to deal with the BS that a registered rep does.

Man, these guys are leaving you some pretty tough comments.  When I started in this business 20 years ago, I was told no after about 9 rounds of interviews at Lehman Brothers.  The morning after I was told no, I waited in the elevator bank for the manager, who I knew was always the 1st one into the office in the morning.  I had a coffee and a bagel for him.  He showed up at about 7am and by 730, I was hired.  Not sure if that still works these days but can't hurt to try.

Good luck !
