Meet some of our former College Financial Representatives:
Jason Seyfert
College Unit Director
UW-Whitewater graduate May 2006
“I was introduced to the internship program during my sophomore year at UW-Whitewater from a presentation on financial security given by a Financial Representative to an organization I belonged to. I talked with that financial representative after the presentation and then we stayed in touch for a few years before I joined my senior year. I chose to become part of the program because I was always interested in the financial markets and making sure people prepared for their futures. I could not find a better opportunity due to the great reputation of Northwestern Mutual. The internship program drastically improved me personally and professionally in that I found that I could complete my degree, make a huge impact on protecting families and help them achieve their financial goals while also doing something that I thoroughly enjoy. I was given the opportunity to test drive a career in the financial industry to determine if this is what I could see myself doing after college. During my internship experience, the factors that guided me to make this a full time career was the passion I found in helping families prepare for their future. After my first year in the internship I did not see myself doing anything else. I was working with great people who shared common goals with me and I knew I would have the opportunity to get into leadership and be a leader within Northwestern Mutual.”
Matt Rewasiewicz
Managing Director
University of Wisconsin graduate May 2008
“I was introduced to the Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative Internship Program while working in another internship at Northwestern Mutual’s Home Office. I chose this internship because I already loved the company and I was told it would be a good fit for me. When I learned it was a Top Ten Internship in America (Vault.com), I definitely wanted to pursue the opportunity. The fact that I could gain professional business experience and do exactly the same work a full time financial representative does, I knew I would grow personally and professionally and it would give me a chance to figure out if this is what I wanted to do for a fulltime career. After having an unbelievable experience in the internship and graduating from Madison, I decided to become a full time Financial Representative for Northwestern Mutual. I just finished my first full year and feel very blessed to be in this career. Northwestern Mutual’s values are aligned with my own and I love helping people every single day to achieve their financial security. It is extremely gratifying to know I am making an impact in people’s lives. I know I made the right decision to pursue the Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative Internship Program which allowed me to transition into my full time career as a Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative.”
Jessica Karis
Financial Representative
UW-La Crosse graduate May 2005
“I was introduced to Northwestern Mutual by a financial representative I met while waitressing at a summer job between my junior and senior year at UW-La Crosse. I was going to school for business management and communication so at first I wasn’t sure how this could be a good fit for me. As I did some research, interviewed and got to know people in the firm, I realized that for this to be a successful experience, I just needed to be working with people and willing to work hard. I ultimately made the decision to join the program because I felt that it would be a great way to get some professional experience, be surrounded by people who were ambitious and goal oriented like me as well as give the business a test run to see if this is something I would want to do after I finished school. My internship with Northwestern Mutual was one of the best experiences of my life. I have always worked hard, but this internship showed me how I could dramatically impact people’s lives and futures through working hard. Some of the factors that contributed to my decision to have a fulltime career with Northwestern Mutual were: I was with a company whose morals and values aligned with my own, I was surrounded by people just like myself, it was a great team to be a part of and I had a lot of opportunity to get involved in leadership in the future.”
Scott Mila
College Unit Director
UWM graduate May 2004
“I was introduced to the Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative Internship Program through a career fair at UWM. I was impressed that this was a Top 10 Internship in America (vault.com), a Top 5 Internship for Real World Experience (CNN Money) and a program that had been around over 40 years. The internship program made an incredible impact on me as both a student and person – I gained real world business experience, communication skills and applicable financial knowledge that whether or not I would have pursued a full-time career with Northwestern Mutual, would have catapulted me towards a more successful career upon graduation. As it turned out, I found a deep rooted passion for helping people with their financial security planning and decided to pursue my full-time career with Northwestern Mutual after completing the internship program. I felt that no other career would offer me the same interpersonal, professional and financial independence as this would. After over five years of a full-time career, I know that I made the best decision of my life by both participating in the Northwestern Mutual Financial Representative Internship Program as well as becoming a full-time Financial Advisor with The Holter Financial Group.”
Alex Marchan
Financial Representative
UW-Oshkosh graduate May 2011
“I got introduced and attracted to the Northwestern Mutual Internship program in the winter of 2009 and began the internship in the summer of 2010. What attracted me was not only that it has been ranked among America's "Top Ten Internships" for 15 consecutive years (2011 Vault Guide to Top Internships), but that I would be able to get real life experience just as if I was working full time. Not knowing that it was what I wanted to do after I graduated, I thought it would be a great learning experience and I would at least be able to perfect my communication and business skills to get ready for whatever I was going to be doing next. After my summer here at the Holter Group, I was offered a full time position upon graduation and, after seeing what an impact I can make on people’s lives and have the flexibility of growing my own practice, I accepted the offer right away. I have now been full time now since June of 2011, building my own practice and also helping out in the office with the internship program. I know that making the decision to work here at Northwestern Mutual the Holter Financial Group was one of the best decisions I have made, and loving every second of it!” |
