Northwestern Mutual; Springfield, MA

As a financial representative intern I had the Primary responsibilities of;
-meeting a weekly goals
-booking appointment goals
-Informing supervisors of appointment changes
-attending meetings
-joint work
-help advisor complete notes
-prepare policies for clients

This placement was excellent in most situations and I recommend it to other students. Especially since you are not looked at as just an "intern", as well as you truly get the real feeling of being a financial representative and that is a great preview for how your life will develop if you choose this a your path. I would not change anything about this placement.

My advice to other students is that if you have any interest of being a financial rep or planner, then do this internship.
