Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Applied online and got a response a couple of days later. I was advised to watch a video about the position and email the HR person if I was still interested. I emailed her back after watching stating I was still interested. I was sent a link to do two tests and that upon passing a phone interview would be scheduled. Passed the tests, did the interview a week later. Two weeks later I got an email stating they would pursue other candidates!

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 5 days)
I was contacted by a recruiter. I was given a personality and ACT like test to measure my analytical and multi-tasking skills. After passing that stage I was asked to come in and take a typing-test. Then a one-on-one with the recruiter occurred; she let me know what type of atmosphere I'd be working in and what type of person it takes to be successful at this job. I decided to keep my options open just to see how far I could get.
A couple days later I had another interview with the manager and other employees. We shadowed a claims representative and only then did I know the job was not right for me. It definitely was a cubicle farm with hundreds of clones. The manager seemed fake and tried to be my friend. I basically told him I wasn't a good fit for this company.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Grand Rapids, MI (took 2 months)
-Legnthy and very structured Process. They give online testing to weed cantidates out. Phone Interview than panel interview then interview with the office manager. This is a very unpersonal process where you jump through hoops for the position because there are probably SO many qualified cantidates for the position.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Martinez, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter within two weeks. She sent me a personality test and an intelligence test that consisted of math and English skills. After passing that, a phone interview with the recruiter was done. Farmers Insurance uses behavioral based interviews, so come prepared with specific stories about your background. After the phone interview I had a panel interview with three managers. Average interview. I was scheduled for a ride along, which showed me a lot about the position.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Cherry Hill, NJ (took 2 weeks)
I was interviewed for a sales position by 7 people who have very little sales experience, or none at all. This was called an "Audition" which is basically role play. Unfortunately, nobody in the room was prepared, and several were reading my resume for the first time.
I was actually embarrased at the format which was juvenile at best. I have a solid broad based sales background which is what the interview should have focused on. The company will be eaten alive in NJ with this management team

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Had a phone interview with a corporate recruiter and was very pleased with the level of professionalism and courtesy. Was recommended to hiring manager and brought in for an interview. Upon arrival at the large branch office was not offered water or anything, but was expected to speak continuously for over an hour. The group panel consisted of two people typing my every word onto laptops and another person who was probably doing the same via conference call. When I said I needed a moment to answer a question the interviewer said, "take your time" while rubbing his eyes and letting out a big sigh that screamed there is no way your getting this job. The interview ended with one of the interviewers saying, "it will probably be several weeks before you hear anything from us." I received email notification in 2 days that I was no longer in consideration for the position.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Olathe, KS (took 2 months)
I interviewed for two postitions at Farmers. Both positions were in inside claims, but different departments and campus. I would highly suggest reviewing behavior questions. Several of the ones that will be asked will be found on here.
1. How would you handle a difficult co-worker?
2. How do you handle change?
Be sure to have an example on any question on here.
I wasn't offered a postion and only found out by calling the recruiter and asking. Chances are they won't contact you. That is the only negative thing really.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Interview process started with the opportunity overview and assistance from the company. They really make sure you are a good fit for the position by asking very open ended questions. Second interview was with training manager and district manager which was more of the same, lots of open ended questions. Third and final interview is with your spouse, offer is then made. Know why you want to do this and be confident in your answers. Have a good answer to how you expect to handle low income months when owning your own business.
