Internships

The Internship Opportunity

The ambition of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network Internship program has been less to sell our financial products than to develop people. As a Financial Representative College Intern, you will enjoy the benefit of working with The Waltos Group where you'll receive outstanding guidance, superior support and quality expertise.

Our internship offers you invaluable business experience that you will take with you far into your career. But that's just the start of the impact this can have on your future and your present. Consider these benefits:

• The chance to develop your networking and business relationship skills
• Securities license, state licenses for life, health and accident insurance opportunities and a head start program for a career as a full-time Financial Representative
• Competitive compensation and flexible work schedule
• Actual business experience for your resume
• Test drive the Financial Representative career

Regardless of what you do after graduation, you'll have a foundation of skills and knowledge to build your career upon. After completing the internship, the knowledge you have gained, coupled with the opportunity to work for The Waltos Group as a full-time Financial Representative, can lead you to a profitable and fulfilling future. Can you envision a life of financial independence, freedom and calling your own shots? Many college students cannot. That's why our internships provide a valuable opportunity for students to combine classroom learning with a real life look into what they could truly make of themselves.

A Message from Managing Partner, Bob Waltos . . . A Rewarding Career Choice
Prior to joining Northwestern Mutual, I was a college student. I joined Northwestern Mutual Financial Network because I appreciated the value that the insurance industry brought to people's lives. Having lost my father young, I understand the benefit of having our products in place and family protection. Northwestern Mutual is a top rated financial services firm and has always maintained one of the best reputations in the marketplace.

Understand that you are in a "worth" career. This industry is about worth and it is about discipline and process. In coming with Northwestern Mutual, you are blessed with a world-class risk based insurance platform. The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (Northwestern Mutual), the nation's largest direct provider of individual life insurance, according to statistics compiled from A.M. Best data, has always received unsurpassed industry financial strength ratings from Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings, A.M. Best and Moody's¹. The part that is up to you is prospecting and hard work and discipline, and if you are willing to accept those as a challenge, the opportunities are unlimited.

The last thing that I have to offer to people who are looking at a career is this: Vance Caesar gave a talk to the board at Chapman Univerisity one time, and he was talking about highly successful people, and happy and unhappy highly successful people.

As I recall and this is by no means a quote, but there were only two separating factors from happy highly successful people and unhappy ones. The one was purposeful work and the second was discipline and I feel so privileged that in our business and our industry that both of those are cornerstones to what we're all about.

¹A.M. Best (A++) 2/2011, Fitch (AAA) 1/ 2011, Moody’s (Aaa) 6/2011, Standard & Poor’s (AA+) 8/2011.  Financial strength ratings are subject to change.
