Interviewed Jun 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
I received an unsolicited email requesting an interview. I applied online as instructed and scheduled a time. The interviewer was casual and pleasant. For reasons I can't understand, the interviewer determined rather quickly, that I wouldn't be happy working for Genworth. I was highly qualified for the job and prepared to pursue it further. I send a thank you note reaffirming my interest but never received a reply. The same position is still advertised. I found the whole process curious.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 1 week)
I applied to this program and after a week or so got a call from an HR woman wanting to phone interview me. She asked me very generic interviewing questions, like what are your weaknesses? I guess I did very well because she said she wanted me to do a technical interview with someone from the field I worked in the most. It was a phone interview once again by the way. The technical interview went horrible. He asked me some pretty advanced questions mixed with a few easy ones. Some were experience questions, like tell me about a really hardcore project you worked on. I was a little baffled because this is supposed to be a program where they train you, and it felt like they expected me to already know everything. It is a program for recent graduates but it seems they want you to have years of full-time experience. Received the thanks but no thanks email.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 days)
I submitted my resume to their winter internship and got rejected. They kept my resume on file and called me for their full time finance development program. I set up a phone interview with the recruiter and it was very basic questions: why genworth, why [insert majors here], where do you see yourself in 5 years, what financial statements do you look at when evaluating a company and why.
Then went in for in person interview to Richmond (headquarters) where I had two panel interviews consisting of two people each. There were tons of fit questions and not really as many technicals as i expected. I did well on the technicals (but there were barely any, I had to bring them in myself) but the fits were hard especially when asked one after the other, such as " what two things do you want out of a job and what two things do you not want out of a job [they all had to be distinct]" and what company would you not work for and why?
Reason for rejection is prob b/c fit questions were tough, but prepare for those and this should be a pretty good company to enter into.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 2 days)
I was asked to appear for a written test first. After that I was asked to appear for in person interview where we discussed my experience with previous employers with emphasis on my previous employers. I realized that job didn't match what I was looking for and it was mutually determined that I was not the right candidate for that position.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took a day)
I supplied a resume through a friend. I got a call three days later. The interviewer was from HR and was the first line filter, ensuring I understood the basic requirements and job responsibilities. Cordial, and informative. If I would have been interested in pursuing the position, my next interview would have been with the hiring manager.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The level of sales support was lower than I needed. I was fairly new to the business and didn't have a large client base, so I needed marketing dollars and leads. They were looking for a sales associate with many years of experience and able to support himself with his own leads. I recognized the gap, and politely declined any further interviews.

I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2007 (took 2 months)
I applied online and was called two weeks latter to setup a phone interview with someone in the corporate office. We agreed on a time and day, so I took an hour out of my day to plan for this. However, the recruiter never called me the day of the phone interview...So, I called to confirm, I got her voice mail, so I left a message but she never called me back. The next day, I received an email from her indicating that they have put a hold on the position and will get back to me. Needless to say, she never got back with me. How unprofessional!!!

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was long and was not something that I think would have been that long for the position that I had applied for and was at the office interviewing for. With that being said I think that the interview was fair but was much more detailed than I had anticipated.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Lynchburg, VA (took a day)
After submitting my resume online directly to the companies website. A few days later, I was contacted by an HR person who did a few screening questions (birthdate, salary requirements, etc). Contacted a week later and an interview was set up. Interviewed on Saturday, along with several others. It was in front a team of 4. One person asked the questions, while others took notes. A lot of behavioral questions were asked. Ended with questions from me. And I left! Called on Tuesday and was offered the job.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Lynchburg, VA (took a day)
I was an employee referral for an executive assistant opening. The initial phone interview was used as a screening interview. The next phase was with an HR representative. The interview was difficult and monotonous. The HR rep never varied her style or type of questions. It was strictly a situational interview. Based on her "What would you do if this happened" questions, it was my impression that the hiring manager was either difficult to work with or that I would be handling nothing but problem situations day after day.
