      Registered Principal Interview

      17 Mar 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Saint Petersburg, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at John Hancock (Saint Petersburg, FL)

      Interview

      Very timely, received an email to set up a phone screening with recruiter 2 days after applying. Basic questions regarding salary expectations, distance to office, tell me about yourself, and tell me why you want this role. Formal interview scheduled day after phone interview. Offer followed the day after the formal interview. Interview questions were structured around challenges and expectations of the position and working environment, didn't waste time with basic questions regarding strengths, weaknesses, or silly questions to throw you off. Had ability to demonstrate strengths and ability to excel in role through other questions in the interview. Good structured interview tailored to getting to know you as an applicant and your ability to perform in the given role and contribute to the team/company. Standard one hour block interview with one manager, although ours did run a bit longer. Potential for second interview with other management staff depending on position and initial interview.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      Why do you want this position?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      (Since management would be at a different location) Questions regarding work environment preferences, comfort level working with offsite management, management styles etc
      Answer question

      Question 3

      (Since position requires client & internal dept interaction) Tell me about a time (e.g. demonstrating passion for providing client-centric solutions / went above and beyond assisting colleague)
      Answer question

      Question 4

      Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
      Answer question

      Question 5

      Tell me a time you disagreed with a decision by management / by another department. (Two similar questions)
