I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Riverside, CA)
Interview
The interview was really nothing to worry about. They want to know why you would be interested in working in the insurance industry, and they ask a few simple questions to see if you would be a good fit for the job. Mainly though, the interview process is explaining to you how the job is going to work. The one piece of advice I would give is to remember that these people do sales for a living. The won't be too idealistic, but they're still trying to sell the position to you. So you had best come with as many technical questions as you can think of if you really want to know what type of job you'll be looking at
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I wasn't asked anything out of the ordinary: "Tell me a bit about yourself", "Why would you be interested in working in insurance", etc.
Was basic and tedious asking me questions about my prior work history so make sure that I understood the job role. Overall it was not difficult to formulate an answer to the questions.
The interview was professional and conversational. The agent clearly explained the role, expectations, and growth opportunities. I was asked about my communication skills, work ethic, and goals. Overall, it felt welcoming, informative, and focused on long-term potential rather than pressure
Detailed with multiple calls. Explained in detail the onboarding and training processes including the financial obligations with starting an agency. There was a personality test to help determine fit with the company.
