I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
The process involves 4 steps, I took only 2, then I decided to stop.
First interview is 1:1 and, in my opinion, the person try to understand if you are able to guarantee a minimum level of presentation.
The second appointment was a meeting with about 20 candidates, it lasts about 3 hours with 3 different stages:
1. NYL presentation: Who we are and what we did in the past for the US
2. Salary and compensation presentation: What you will sell and how much you will gain from the selling
3. Training: NYL will provide you with all the skills needed to succeed in the process, from the client search to the client retention.
I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
Via zoom I was interviewed by two individuals that started off asking questions about hobbies and thing you like to do outside of work as an icebreaker. the other questions that they asked were pertaining to work history and how it connects with the the role you applied for. a good amount of customer based questions as well as sales questions. it was said everyone come in as a sales agent and the position is 100 percent performance based, no hourly wage attached. They stated the average agent makes around 100k per year.
3 part, 1st is very conversational, they pitch company and you get to know manager. 2nd is compensation interview, third is marketing. all run through manager who will eventually be your mentor once you get to New York Life

Interview
The process was fairly easy. I scheduled an interview within 3 weeks of submitting the application. The partner that I interviewed with asked personality questions and was much less concerned about work experience.
