Interview Details Contacted via phone for an in-person interview. The person who sourced me obviously didn't go over my resume very thoroughly. I give props to the interviewer, but their follow-up was non-existent. Big no no, especially when they said, "You'll hear back in a week."

Interview Details First I had a phone interview with an HR person. This was basically a standard who are you type interview with some specific behavior-type questions thrown in. The HR recruiter was very nice and even coached me a bit in what the hiring managers were looking for. Then I was called back and set up an interview with the two managers that were hiring for that position.
Interview Question – The questions were all straightforward and expected based on my background and experience. They do employ the bevavioral interview process so they are looking for specific examples in your past rather than how you think you would perform. Answer Question

Interview Details Telephone screen by HR followed by an interview with 2 people, one who will be the hiring manager. Interviews take about an hour and include behavioral based questions. For the analyst position, depending on the talent pool, it is helpful to have prior claims experience. If not, a skill set that matches the position is helpful. Multiple attorneys have been hired into the position as a result of the need to understand the constantly changing landscape of claims and litigation.
Interview Question – Give me an example of when you had to escalate a situation. What was the situation, what did you do, how did you decide to escalate it? Answer Question

Interview Details Submitted a resume through Craigslist with a thorough cover letter and got a call to come in a few days later. Met with their head of HR who was professional but not stuffy. Had a good conversation, but the position just didn't exactly fit my qualifications.

Interview Details I worked for the Standard as a student consultant and then an intern. At the end of my internship, I interviewed for the current role that I occupy. The interview was about 10 questions, all behavioral based. You can get entire lists of commons BI questions on the internet, use this and follow the STAR format in responding to questions and you'll be fine.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer and how you resolved the conflict and provided a positive customer service experience? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – At the time of the interview the economy was tumultuous to say the least and I took the path of least resistance. There was not a lot of room for negotiation.
No Offer – Interviewed in Portland, OR (US) Nov 2011 – Reviewed Dec 01, 2011
Interview Details It took about 4 weeks from the first screening phone interview until the final interview with the hiring manager and 2 of what would have been my direct co-workers. There was a 2:1 interview in between those two interviews mentioned prior with the hiring manager and another supervisor from a different department. Everybody was friendly and I enjoyed the experience. It was my first interview process at a company coming out of college. The questioning wasn't too intense but did offer some challenges. If you take a little time to prepare you shouldn't have much to worry about.
Interview Question – How do you deal with deadlines that will not only affect yourself but your other co-workers? View Answer
