Northwestern Mutual Financial Network has been named a "Top 10 Internship" in America's Top Internships by the Princeton Review five consecutive times since 1996 and named America's 2000 Top Sales Force co-winner (with Cisco Systems) by Sales & Marketing Management Magazine. Their world-renowned Internship Program provides outstanding career opportunity to college students who want to "test drive" a career in sales. Financial Representative positions are also available. These Reps provide expert guidance and innovative solutions to clients to develop a customized plan that meets long-term financial goals. The position is an opportunity to build your own business while providing financial security for your clients (both businesses and families). If you’re looking for a career or internship where you can make an impact, have independence and flexibility, and work in a highly-productive, fast-paced, values-driven environment, let us know!

Here is what Creighton Kovacs, Epsilon Delta President has to say about his internship at Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. "My experience with NMFN can be summed up in a quote they will tell you when you first start working with them..."You Will Be In Business For Yourself...Not By Yourself". I have received more guidance and experience through the brief time I have been with them than I have in all of my other jobs combined. I have the opportunity to work with great people, achieve an unlimited amount of success and truly help people. I don't believe that any other job in the world is as rewarding or as personal as a career with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network".
