More thoroughly interviewed than most insurance companies. Great questions but they want real answers not what they’ve already heard a million times. Questions about salary are always tough but don’t be afraid to ask for your worth. But be prepared to back it up
I interviewed at Allstate Insurance (East Meadow, NY)
Interview
I interviewed at Allstate in East Meadow in 2014 with Dan Ratkewitch. The interview consisted of a few standard questions you'd expect on any sales/customer service related interview. The initial interview went well and Dan allowed me to come back into the office for a short trial on the phone speaking to real potential clients. I thought that was very helpful and a practical way to gage if I could see myself doing this role full time. I wound up not pursing candidacy further but both portions of the interview were very fair, transparent and informativ.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I'd be comfortable communicating with customers over the phone/essentially communicating with customers in general.
Agency owner asked really good questions that forced me to think quick on my feet. One of the questions was "if I were blind, describe the color yellow.." He also picked up a flash drive and asked me to sell it to him.
