There was no interview. It was just a sales pitch to become an independent contractor that uses their system to sell insurance. They advertised that their top ten first year sale persons averaged 95,000. This sounds pretty good until you take into consideration that this is before taxes and cost of owning a business. Based on this market I could expect to net about $25,000 working 40 hours a week.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HealthMarkets (Columbus, GA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Very easygoing process. You have to know what you are getting yourself into. They will not interview you like a traditional interview but will inform you of what type of industry you are looking into.
Met with the Sales Leader and then the Territory VP. Reviewed information about the company and was asked a few questions. I was coming from a competitor as a top agent, so they were more or less telling me how I'd do well in this company.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at HealthMarkets in Sept 2017
Interview
Initial interview is a presentation about the company done in a group setting.
Follow up interview with the district manager. The interviewer was rude.
I was speaking of my previous experience and mentioned that I had experice cold calling. The interviewer got very defensive and insisted that they didn't do any cold calling and that their customers seek them out not the other way around.
Interviewer also asked a lot of questions about my husband and how he would feel if I made more money than him. I have never been asked such a nonsense question in an interview and was frankly offended by it. He asked my husbands name, where he worked and how much money he made a year. He ended the interview with telling me I should bring my husband to the next interview so he could explain the position and pay to him. This was extremely offensive to me. It felt that the interviewer was implying that I needed my husbands permission to accept the position.
Honestly don't even remember the rest of the interview. After the questions about my husband I didn't want to work for this district manager and was no longer interested in the position or company.
