A Career With First Investors Corporation Make First Investors Corporation Part of Your Future

Spotlight on Success: Trevor Parker

As a senior in college I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. So I did what everybody else does: I went on every interview I could find. I discovered a lot of things I knew I did not want to do for the rest of my life. By chance, I began to interview with several financial services companies. The more financial services companies I interviewed with, the more I could see myself enjoying this as a career.

Jobs and Internships at First Investors

First Investors is a financial services firm that enhances the lives of its clients through the one-on-one, personalized service of our financial services representatives.

As the first wave of a new graduating class enters the workforce, many firms have been slow to meet its needs. In stark contrast, First Investors welcomes vibrant and diverse ideas. We have rolled out the red carpet to all college graduates and many have found a home here.

First Investors welcomes college graduates from any major course of study—not just business majors. In fact, many of our representatives come from liberal arts backgrounds, such as Marketing, English, Psychology, Political Science and Communications. You don't need a Finance or Economics degree to be successful, and no financial services experience is necessary.

What Do First Investors Representatives Do?

Put simply—our representatives help people. They meet with clients, review their financial situation and make investment and insurance recommendations tailored to their goals and needs. They help clients with goals such as:

Saving to buy a home
Affording a child's education
Protecting a family's assets
Retiring in comfort

Based on information gathered, representatives put together solutions that meet their clients' needs.

We offer a comprehensive training program that is designed to prepare individuals for successful careers with First Investors. You'll benefit from a mix of classroom and hands-on instruction. Like most professionals, being a representative requires having licenses, and training begins with preparation for licensing exams. You'll also learn about First Investors' products, and master the techniques you'll need in order to build a clientele and maximize your earnings potential.

New recruits work closely with members of their office's management team. In addition, in First Investors' collaborative environment, you'll benefit from the wisdom of more experienced representatives in your office. The bulk of your training will be at your local and regional offices. In addition, you may be invited to advanced training sessions at regional locations, as well as at our national training facility—the University of First Investors—in Edison, New Jersey. Continuing education is required and provided throughout a representative's career to help lift him or her to the next level.

Like most professionals, First Investors representatives' compensation is based solely on their performance. This gives strong performers the opportunity to build significant incomes. Our top producing representatives are generously rewarded with quarterly and annual bonuses. In addition, some representatives may be eligible to buy the Company's private placement stock.

Interested candidates may also apply directly to the office of their choice. See our Office Locations page for a list of our regional First Investors sales offices, along with their addresses and phone and fax numbers.

Thank you for your interest in First Investors.

Our Long Tradition Of Excellence

In 1930, as the country was gripped by the Great Depression, First Investors was founded as one of the nation's first distributors of mutual funds. Our objective was simple—to serve the financial needs of our clients.

Today, we're one of the nation's leading financial services firms, offering a full line of mutual funds, annuities and life insurance products, serving a growing base of clients and operating a network of offices nationwide.

While much has changed over the years, one thing has not—our commitment to our clients. We take great pride in the fact that we have helped several generations of Americans reach their financial goals, and we are pleased to continue that tradition as we face the challenges of the 21st century.

Recent times have been unnerving for individual investors. A severe recession, a steep stock market downturn, unprecedented volatility, and high-profile investment scam stories have damaged the public's confidence in our nation's financial institutions, and left people wondering what to do. This loss of trust and direction comes at a time when Americans are more responsible than ever for securing their own financial future.

First Investors can help individuals accomplish that goal. We have been in business since 1930, and have successfully navigated many difficult economic periods in our nation during that time. We understand that economic slumps and recoveries are inevitable...and we know how to help people plan for both.

Using a face-to-face approach to customer service, our registered representatives work with clients to establish a disciplined approach to achieving their long-term financial goals, whether they involve saving for a college education, purchasing a home, or building a retirement nest egg. We have more than 80 years of success stories, working with people from all walks of life.
