Ruben J. Rea, the local investment representative for the financial services firm Edward Jones, announced Wednesday that he will host a career open house at 5 p.m. October 28 at 3-4301 Kuhio Highway, Suite No. 205, Hanamaulu.
The event is designed to give individuals the opportunity to talk face-to-face with Edward Jones investment representatives and get first-hand knowledge of the career opportunities Edward Jones offers.
“Edward Jones is truly different from other Wall Street firms,” Rea said.
“We’re looking for high achievers who have a desire to run a business with the support of a much larger organization.
“Our investment representatives live in the communities where they work and serve individual investors exclusively.”
In a time when many U.S. businesses are experiencing zero growth or are actually downsizing, Edward Jones is aggressively expanding its sales force.
“Our investment representatives come from diverse backgrounds,” Rea said.
“Teachers, bankers and engineers all have joined the ranks of Edward Jones. They all, however, have one thing in common; they are self- starters who enjoy working with and helping other people.”
Edward Jones offers an extensive training program for new investment representatives. An part of that training, investment representatives build their businesses by calling on people face-to-face in the communities where they have chosen to put down their roots.
“We want our new investment representatives out where people can get-to know them and decide if they are the kind of people they want to do business with,” Rea said.
Edward Jones has two offices throughout Kaua‘i and is the largest financial services firm in the nation in terms of offices.
Yet, Edward Jones is the only firm that serves individual investors exclusively.
Its investment representatives offer a variety of investments, including certificates of deposit, taxable and non-taxable bonds, stocksand mutual funds.
The firm traces its roots to 1871 and today serves more than six million clients.
