      Insurence Agent Interview

      19 Oct 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Met a recruiter at a university career fair, and was contacted the next week to set up an interview. The interview took about an hour and besides the usual run through of my resume and past work experience, it was an informational session on the company and the position. I can definitely say that if you have the slightest bit of doubt that this is the career you want to choose, it isn't for you.

      Insurence Agent Interview

      8 Jun 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life in Mar 2023

      Interview

      The interview process for an insurance agent role typically involves several stages designed to assess the candidate's skills, experience, and suitability for the position. It usually begins with an initial screening, which may be conducted over the phone or through an online assessment. If successful, candidates are then invited for a face-to-face interview, which can be conducted by a hiring manager, HR representative, or a panel of interviewers. During this interview, candidates are often asked about their previous insurance industry experience, knowledge of insurance policies and regulations, sales and customer service abilities, and their familiarity with the specific products and services offered by the company. Behavioral and situational questions may also be asked to gauge the candidate's problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills. Additionally, the interviewers may assess the candidate's motivation, resilience, and ability to work in a target-driven environment. Depending on the company, there may be additional rounds of interviews, such as a second interview or a final round with senior executives. Successful candidates are typically those who demonstrate a strong understanding of the insurance industry, possess excellent communication and sales skills, and exhibit a customer-centric approach.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about your previous experience in the insurance industry. What types of insurance products have you worked with? How do you stay up-to-date with changes in the insurance industry and regulations? Can you describe a time when you successfully converted a potential customer into a policyholder? What strategies did you use? How do you handle objections from customers who are hesitant to purchase insurance? Give an example of a challenging customer service situation you've faced and how you resolved it.
