Interview Details First the HR round, then depending on the process type there would be a voice round if not then direct with the concerned process Manager or AM available if yes then with a V&A trainer and then the process Manager.

Interview Question – Hope you would not be taking or asking for leaves for at least 6 months.?   View Answer

Financial Planner at MetLife

Declined Offer – Interviewed in San Diego, CA (US) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Jun 10, 2013 New

Interview Details Was really straightforward but more personal. Interview lasted about 30 minutes and was asked to call back to schedule a 2nd interview. Went into detail about what the position was, found out it was a glorified title for a sales position. Also went into further detail that it was a commission based job with salary for the first 8 months which was incentive for you to promote yourself and get your name out.

After the initial salary, would be a commission based position that would be spread out to make a evenly month to month salary. Their requirements were that you hold at least 10 interviews per week and close 1 to 2 clients per week.

Interview Question – Was asked how I would market myself because it was basically your own boss job with the big company name behind it. Also was asked to bring a marketing plan to how I would attack my clientele.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – Didnt think I had enough clientele to withhold the position, which wouldve probably ended my employment.

Financial Services Representative at MetLife

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Miami, FL (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed Jun 05, 2013 New

Interview Details I was contacted by email 4 months after I applied for the position and scheduled my interview for the following week. Everyone was friendly and polite in the office and the receptionist gave me directions to the office when I was lost. I waited for my interview for around 10 minutes and then was called in to meet the co-managing director. As expected I was asked to tell a little about myself and after that he talked about the company and the position the rest of the time. The interview was going well but then he asked if I was in school and explained that I could not be a full-time student if I took the job. I then took to opportunity to ask if there were any part-time/ internship positions available and was told to call his assistant to start my training the following week for a secretary position. Fast-forward 3 weeks and several calls and messages later I was told to take a Virtual Job Assessment and I did well and was called in for a second interview at which I was told that I was hired.

Interview Question – The unexpected question was "Do you remember when you applied?"   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – He offered a really good rate so I did not feel the need to negotiate.
