      Insurance Sales Agent Interview

      4 Jun 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Miami, FL
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Miami, FL) in May 2009

      Interview

      I was initially contacted by a Partner after applying for a sales job at this company. I was asked to come in at which point they asked me typical interview questions such as: what qualities make you suitable with you? how do you deal with rejection? name your best friend.... then five adjectives that your friend would give you. After 10 or so questions you are taken to a room for a personality test. Once you pass you talk with the partner again and get referred to the second group interview where they talk about salary, training, and compensation. The three are not discussed in the first interview.

      Application

      I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY)

      Interview

      An AI bot was asking me questions, very unpersonalized. It would have been nice to at least speak to someone and have the opportunity to showcase my abilities. Do not Recommend!

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Huntsville, AL) in May 2024

      Interview

      There was an online assessment and a series of in office interviews. However there were lots of important information that was glossed over or not revealed, There are a lot of cost you most cover in the first year even though you are only commission, example; you have to pay to use an office if their building space. I did original except an offer, I later left due to the miss information presented during the interview process.
