I applied online. I interviewed at Sun Life (Markham, ON)
Interview
Was interviewed by two people in two different locations, both had me complete an online quiz. Both also never even had the respect or courtesy to call and inform me how I did on the personality quiz or whether they were moving forward with other candidates. Very disappointed in this process and company as a whole. Even if they offered me a job I wouldn't accept simply because they cannot even contact to inform you how you did.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you?
What do you bring to the company?
What are you biggest strengths and weaknesses?
Interview fairly easy. Easy to get in. The training is top notch and intense.
However you need to run like a business not a corporate job.
In terms of interview, as long as you have an ambition and know the sales game. You're in.
Process is fast and straight forward, but the hiring managers usually missed mentioning the part of how the pre-contract system works and you might not be eligible for the role if you don't sell a certain amount worth of product during the period.

Question 1
What makes you want to work in this role? Past financial/sales experiences.
Pretty straight forward, sales and network questions, questions about competencies and previous experiences. Have behavioural and experiential questions prepared for and understand how you can leverage your network in the jobs operations.
