Interview Details – I posted my resume on monster.com and a few days later I got a call from Bankers saying that they had seen my resume and I would like to offer me an internship. They repeatedly called me, sent me a text, and emailed me to remind me about my interview. The interview was more like a presentation of the company and the speaker basically told us about his life. There were about 15-20 of us in a room. This was not an internship but a lets start your career as an agent. I was only looking for a summer job.

Reason for Declining – Tricked me into starting a career and I just wanted a summer job.

Interview Details – Posted my resume on Monster.com. Received an email notifying me that my resume had been noticed on Monster.com and inviting me to a job interview. Business attire, bring resume. Upon arrival I'm told it's a group presentation in the conference room, and not a personal interview. Presentation was performed very well, took one hour. Information about working for the company interesting and potential income enticing. The presenter did an excellent job of connecting with me and several others in the presentation. Afterwards, individuals were asked if they would be interested in a second small group interview/presentation; and if mutually further interested, a third and final personal interview. This could be a good down-select process if used properly to find the right person for the job.
I'm out of work for over 45 days now and going to school full time, so getting a little desperate for work. I think I'll at least check out the second interview/presentation they offered me and think about it....

Interview Details – A group interview with an info session that took about an hour. The presenter told you all about the company, benefits, work life, management styles, and went a little into the entry level kind of training. The presenter was very experienced, likable, and knowledgeable. Pay is commission-based. They advertise themselves as one of the fastest-growing insurance companies that has a growing and specific local market.

Reason for Declining – Not interested in the type of insurance they were selling. The company seemed like a solid one, and the staff seemed enthusiastic and friendly, but I just wasn't interested in selling medicare or life insurance.

Interview Details – You first attend a career briefing. The manager is great. This job is 100% commission. If you work hard, you'll make the money. Then you come back for a group interview. If you choose to proceed you come back for a final third interview. You get an offer or contract and you start as soon as you pass the test for your license.

Negotiation Details – There is none. It's totally commision based.
