I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Chatsworth, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Received a call from Bankers. Told me her manager had found my resume (probably from Monsters) and wanted to bring me in for an interview. I asked for what position and she did not have a specific position in mind. Red Flag #1. She asked about my background in sales - none. Management - a lot. She responded I had a lot of management experience, I would qualify for a management position and that I should arrive on the appointed day at 9:30a, bring a copy of my resume and to dress business professional. Red Flags #2 and 3.
I knew walking in this was not some place I wanted to work but felt I needed to go through the process to have something to write in this review. Filled out the questionnaire some of the questions I felt were none of their business and proceeded to sit through a 2.5-hour presentation with approximately 40 other people. Great overview of the company - then the pitch about how much money you could make as an agent - commission only at first, and if you "qualified" for management, you could make even more. Then you were hit with you need to take a test which costs over $200 for the test and study materials. They then brought people in one by one and would tell them if they qualified or not and that they would be receiving a call within the hour to make an offer. I was told I could not go straight to management but must start as an agent first and that I should sign up for the test and study materials right away. At no time was I asked about my background and the fact I had no sales experience on my resume ever seemed to factor in the decision. Again, I was asked some questions that I thought were none of their business such as how much in your retirement account. I respectfully declined to answer.
I received an offer that I "qualified" approximately two hours later. I declined. My observation on the entire situation. They are prospecting prospective clients.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Aug 2025
Interview
Two rounds and the first one is more of a bref, then if you got called back you got to do one on one interview, a little forward and kinda scary with the way they interview
The interview process was very friendly. I was asked basic questions about myself and was given the opportunity to say why I would be a good fit for the company. I was then escalated to a second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Previous work experience and why I would be a good fit for the company
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bankers Life in May 2023
Interview
Two interviews, the first is a pitch of why you should work for them, plugging their benefits and anecdotes of successful employees, the second is a 1 on 1 with some pretty straightforward questions "how motivated/driven are you, how well do you learn" just hype yourself up and you get the job.
