Future Leaders at Hanover Insurance
No Offer – Reviewed Apr 11, 2013
Interview Details – I attended their Future Leaders Program externship day and I applied by sending my resume and cover letter directly to the hiring manager. First interview was over the phone and was consisted of general behavioral questions. Then moved on to fill out a complicated online form detailing work experience for the past 12 years as well as a very easy math aptitude test. After completing this stage, I was informed by email a day later that I would not be moving on.

Future Leaders at Hanover Insurance
No Offer – Interviewed in East Lansing, MI Oct 2012 – Reviewed Feb 20, 2013
Interview Details – Got the interview through campus recruiters and my university careers website. On- campus interview period consisted of a pre-assesment that you took on one of their laptops, consisting of relatively simple mathematics, statistics, and general business questions. Then a 30 minute interview with one person followed by a 30 minute interview with someone else. One interview was pleasant, typical questions about you, talking through your resume, and why you want to work for the Hanover. The other interview was much more difficult asking things such as when you changed a current process for the better or a time you challenged the status quo, to name a few off the top of my head.
Interview Question – Name a time you challenged the status quo. Answer Question

Insurance Service Professional at Hanover Insurance
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Worcester, MA Jul 2010 – Reviewed Jun 4, 2012
Interview Details – You will have a phone interview where they will ask you basic questions...what is your experience? What are your strengths and weaknesses? It will be someone from Human Resources and overall, it will just be more analyzing what you are willing to do...would you feel comfortable in sales? It is very casual. If they like you, you will go in a for a round of interviews with 4 different people. It is pretty rough at points. Some will ask you scenarios where you have sold products and how you did it. For example: My friend who worked at a department store had to describe selling paint and how she went about convincing the person to get it.
