Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to start as a broker when we had spoken about starting as a field rep.
This rubbed me the wrong way as I was no longer going to receive benefits from day one.
These qualities create a wonderful foundation for building strong connections. A good listener with empathy is highly valued in any relationship. Adding kindness and a genuine interest in others will further enhance these traits. Combined with a cool and outgoing personality, these attributes paint a picture of someone very approachable. Such a person undoubtedly brightens the lives of those around them.
I applied online. I interviewed at Foster Klima (Woodbury, MN) in Oct 2019
Interview
I came into the office and was immediately greeted by the secretary who offered me coffee while I waited. After about 10 minutes I was taken back to an interview room and the interviewer went through a bunch of typical interview questions as well as some personal questions that might give a look at what the interviewee's personality is and how they see their career progressing. I researched my interview and it turned out he played college football with my high school coach, so he was later used as a character reference for me.
He described the company as an "island of misfit toys" and explained to me that most of the people at the company come from other companies and that the firm gives people more autonomy in how they conduct their business, you can focus on anything from term life to stocks to corporate bonds. I can respect this because other companies will encourage selling policies even if clients don't need them, that seems to be why a lot of people came to the company in the first place.
