New York Life Insurance Sales Agent Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details long process

Negotiation Details – i havent got this phase

Interview Details This consisted of three interviews a long way away, one interview with the local office and extensive screening online. One thing about the interviews, they're more like presentations to you. They don't ask very much about you or your history. It's all about explaining the company and what you're expected to do.

Interview Details First met them at a job fair.

They have a 3 interview process.

In the 1st interview, you learn about their business model and take some personality test questions to assess you on different qualities they look for in agents. Overall, it took about an hour. After you leave, you're given homework: fill out an online questionnaire about your personal financials and come up with 10(!) references. I emailed my interviewer a question afterwards, but I never heard back from them.

My 2nd interview wasn't as good. The interviewer called and said I'd get an emailed invite to confirm the interview: never got it. I emailed them the day of the interview to see if it was still on, and they wrote back and confirmed. Once I got there, they were not prepared: they thought I was there for a 1st interview, not 2nd. I was asked how many people I knew--how many of my Facebook friends & LinkedIn contacts I actually knew. They gave me a 15 surveys--10 to conduct with my references ("in order for it to be legal, it's a survey: you're not talking about products" is what they said), and 5 that my references referred--to assess your personal market. "Completing these surveys is your ticket to the 3rd interview," I was told. I had a problem asking my references if they would be interested in buying life insurance from me since the wording of the survey sounded like a sales pitch, even if it's a future sales pitch. I had asked a question--"is this a 1099 position?"--which wasn't answered until I was on my way out the door after it was clear there would be no 3rd interview for me.

Interview Details It is a long interview process (about different interviews). I am scheduled for a second interview with a sr partner. First interview lasted almost two hours and it was with a former sales agent that decided to go into management. So far both interviews have gone well, people are very pleasant and it seems that they want to make sure that you are fully aware of the cons and pros of becoming a financial service consultant (sales person)

Interview Details Everything went smoothly - no questions were too out of the ordinary. Definitely get the sense that they're selling you their company instead of the other way around.

Interview Details There is a three step interview process. First, telephone interview then face-to-face. I was told they would select only about five people out of the 100 or so they were interviewing to move on to step three which was a more in-depth overview of the company and compensation options.

Reason for Declining – Commission only position

Interview Details The hiring process is long. Three interviews then meeting the staff then training. All before you get hired. The interviewer makes you feel like they are picky but there not. The more theyh have under them the better. The make you feel like the interview process is them choosing you but reaally you are choosing them

Reason for Declining – I decided the industry was not for me. If i would have stayed in insurance i would have chose New York Life

Interview Details It was a one-on-one meeting followed by a personality test. The meeting is more like a sales pitch and they're vague about what ,if any, salary is offered. The questions were mainly personality based to determine whether you are determined and have the drive necessary to succeed.
