Edward Jones is looking to grow its local advisory presence in Hobbs, New Mexico, with a full-time, onsite Financial Advisor. The firm, a Fortune 500 company privately owned to keep client interests in focus, believes in helping people in communities across the U.S. and Canada. This role suits someone who thrives building long-term client relationships, enjoys financial services, and wants a clear path to grow a practice through a structured program and ongoing licensing support.
The Hobbs opportunity centers on meeting people where they are, uncovering financial goals, and turning those insights into thoughtful investment and planning recommendations. You’ll work directly with clients to review strategies, adapt plans as life and markets evolve, and identify new opportunities to serve more households. If you gain momentum, you’ll extend your reach by bringing in new clients while continuing to deepen existing relationships, always with a client-first mindset at the heart of every decision.
Day-to-day focus in Hobbs
In this role, the daily routine blends client conversations with business development. A typical day might start with client meetings to clarify goals and risk tolerance, followed by assessments of current investments and adjustments to strategies as needed. You’ll translate complex financial concepts into clear guidance, ensuring that each solution aligns with personal objectives. Prospecting for new clients and expanding relations with current ones will be part of the ongoing effort, as you build a practice that reflects your ambitions and the community you serve. Throughout, you’ll stay compliant with industry standards and participate in training that keeps you sharp and capable of delivering personalized results.
Must-have requirements and licensing
To qualify, you should meet at least one of the core backgrounds Edward Jones considers acceptable for this role. A bachelor’s degree is strongly preferred or an equivalent track record in securities or financial services. Experience in financial services and/or sales is valued, as is formal financial services registration, licensing, or certification. A proven professional or military career progression that demonstrates relevant skills is another path the firm recognizes.
Licensing basics are part of the package. The required credentials include SIE, which can be obtained without firm sponsorship, and the Series 7 and Series 66 licenses. If not currently registered, those registrations may be obtained at Edward Jones during a paid study period. FINRA registrations must be in place within three months, and state insurance licenses will be required. As an associate, ongoing training offered by the firm and regulatory authorities, plus required continuing education to maintain licenses, are expected.
Compensation, benefits and practical details
The compensation and benefits package at Edward Jones is designed to support growth as a new financial advisor builds a practice. The firm outlines trauma-free coverage options, including medical and prescription drug, dental, vision, and voluntary protections such as accident, hospital indemnity, and critical illness. Disability income continuation and basic life and basic AD&D are provided at no cost to financial advisors, and a 401(k) plan sits alongside health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts. Advisors enjoy a flexible schedule, with paid sick leave and paid time off where allowed by law, and opportunities for bonuses, profit sharing, and travel rewards if eligibility criteria are met. The benefits page provides more details, and all associates have access to an Employee Assistance Program. Importantly, the compensation plan is structured to support learning and client growth, including a trainee phase and a supplemental salary during the first years, plus commissions and compensation for new assets gathered in the initial five years. The supplemental starting salary range is $45,000 to $100,000.
Advice for applicants
Start by showing how your background demonstrates ambition, self-motivation, and a commitment to building long-term client relationships. In your resume, lead with evidence of relationship-building successes and how those efforts translated into meaningful outcomes for clients or customers. If you have financial services experience or sales experience, describe the impact you achieved, including any metrics or growth you helped drive.
Be ready to talk through licensing readiness. If you’ve already pursued part of the required licenses, mention where you stand and how you would complete the remaining steps, noting that SIE can be obtained without sponsorship and that Edward Jones supports obtaining Series 7 and Series 66 during the paid study period. Outline any planning you’ve done toward FINRA registrations within the three-month window and any state insurance licenses you hold or are pursuing, plus your approach to ongoing training and CE.
Prepare to discuss how you would own your practice’s growth and deliver personalized financial solutions. Use concrete examples of how you would identify new clients and deepen relationships, and how you would tailor investment strategies to different client goals while maintaining compliance and integrity.
Finally, have a thoughtful question ready about the local market, the firm’s training program, and how compensation is structured during the trainee phase. For instance, ask about how the local Hobbs community has shaped the firm’s client outreach strategy and what support exists to accelerate business-building during the early years. This shows you’re thinking about the real-world impact of the role beyond the basics.
