      Sales Representative Interview

      5 May 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Binghamton, NY
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Binghamton, NY) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      The interviewer called me on the phone and asked me pretty standard questions. She was extremely friendly and I enjoyed talking to her. However, some of the aspects of the job seemed strange like the emphasis on commission based work. Plus, after discussing the job with friends, they said that the job initially has you sell to your "natural network" which I wasn't comfortable with. Overall, the experience was pretty neutral, but what I heard about the job deterred me from considering it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a situation where you worked with a team to overcome a problem.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Greenville, SC
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)

      Interview

      Very casual, over the phone, expect to cold call even if they say you won't. Almost zero technical questions and seemed rather rushed. Probably wouldn't advise unless you have no other options.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Honolulu, HI
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Honolulu, HI)

      Interview

      The initial interview was fine. If you wish to proceed they'll give you an assignment that will take some time to prepare. If they offer you a position you'll find its mostly all networking through your personal connections for sales. Not ideal.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They'll ask about your personal network to get a gauge on how many people in the area you know.
