New York Life Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Phone interview with typical interview question.

Interview Details Placed resume on career builder and received multiple emails from this company as well as others like. Went to the interview which took three days, found out that you need to take a course in order to become licensed which was almost $300. To sum it up I declined.

Reason for Declining – I was told I was coming in for a paid position and not commission based

Interview Details interview one was general information about the company. telling you how they are different from any other company out there. second interview was getting to know me. asked questions about my childhood and how do i see myself being successful in this business. third interview was compensation. stressed how much money you could be making etc.. old showed me the technology fee which was 75/month.

Reason for Declining – didnt feel they would properly train me and not upfront with all the fees and expenses i would have. other companies gave me a laundry list of first year expenses down to the penny.

Interview Details There was a phone interview that led to a superday in New York

Interview Details process consisted of talking to the manager initially and he gets a personal feel of the type of person that you are and he decides if he wants to go further. Initial technical piece is another phone screen to go over a few basic things like subnetting, etc. If you pass that step, you'll get your face to face interview on site and video conference with the technical folks in NY.

Interview Details I had a 30 minute phone interview with an actuarial student. Lots of behavioral questions. I thought there were some difficult ones. The first question was "Describe a project that you have completed in excel". Another question was "Describe a time when you made a popular decision that you knew was wrong". I stumbled a lot over that one, and to this day can't think of a relevant experience that fits this description from my life.

Interview Details Four Interviews total. Interview one seemed like they were trying to sell you on the company. Interview two was a compensation interview. Interview three was a training interview. Interview four was the acceptance interview.

Reason for Declining – Pay is performance based and I did not feel comfortable with the current staff at the office.

Interview Details I was contacted by a New York Life recruiter who found my resume online. The initial phone interview lasted about 20 minutes and covered basic information regarding my current position, experience, and interest level in a career in insurance. 2nd level was an in-person interview with the District Manager. The interview was laid back and focused on how strong the company was, the potential for growth, the aging population, and how lucrative the industry is for agents. The 3rd level was an informal breakfast meeting with approximately 20 agents and a half dozen other interview candidates where we got to meet other agents, hear a motivational talk by a successful agent, and get a feel for the company and people.

Reason for Declining – I declined the 4th level interview with the District Manager and their boss as it was not a long term fit for me. They have a great company, strong reputation in the industry, and I left the process impressed with the people.

Interview Details Usually 5 interviews before they invite you to join.

Negotiation Details – They really do not allow you to negotiate, its more like take it or leave it...its all about the "unlimited earning potential"....
