Reason for Declining – Not into sales

Interview Details Very professional, yet friendly. Persuasive. Energizing. Just expected a higher salary,

Interview Details The initial interview was with the Managing Partner, and the Human Resources Manager. It was essentially a "get to know you" interview, in which I assume they were simply determining whether or not my personality was a good fit for the company. They gave me a Personality Test to complete, as well as a list of questions regarding my life goals to answer and bring back upon my second interview.

Interview Details There are 2 interviews.

Negotiation Details – Commission based

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 I was contacted by one of the Senior Partners at New York Life after I submitted my resume to my school's career development service.

Interview Details Met one of the partners at a career fair and I hit it off with one of the partners from the firm. So we set up a meeting for an interview. I meet with them in their conference room with 5-6 other NY Employees and we talked about my resume and experience. It was an easy and fun interview.

Interview Details The first step if I remember correctly is a phone interview. Secondly, there is a one on one interview with the managing partner. The questions are pretty generic such as where have you previously worked, why do you want to intern at New York Life, what is your favorite class and why...etc

Interview Details First phone interview was basic and lasted about 30 minutes. No difficult questions, mainly behavioral. Second phone interview was more technical and lasted about 20 minutes.
