I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
I was referred for the position by a friend and contacted via email. I returned the interest and set up a date to meet. Went into the office and talked about the position in a very relaxed setting. I was given a fairly simple personality test to take and sent home with information about the position and contact information. We set up another meeting date for an actual interview in which I was sent home with a 'homework' project to find prospective clients. We would have had a third interview appointment in about two weeks if I had not decided that this was not the time or position for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want this position?
This question was difficult for me because I did not actually want the position. I knew that it was a respectable company and a good position, but it was not a good fit for me.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Hartford, CT)
Interview
Was told about the program and how I would need to get certified to sell life insurance in order to participate in the program. The interviewer was laid back and relaxed. It was a group interview.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Three rounds with calls with the head of hiring and with the head of the department, all behavioral questions were asked at each round to get to know you and your network
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Washington, DC)
Interview
Very basic and straightforward behavioral questions, nothing technical. Have a good idea of what you would be doing and why you want to work there so that you can speak to your skillset and how it aligns with the job description.
