No Offer – Interviewed in Springfield, MA Feb 2012 – Reviewed Mar 12, 2012
Interview Details – Many different interviews, including a panel. Does not look like one person coordinated or talked woth others, about the candidates or the position. Left doubts who was running the place. Watch IT jobs, most IT jobs are in the business not in IT.
Interview Question – There was no difficult questions, but since this company s not cost or schedule driven, I suggest ou talk about scope. View Answer

Financial Services Professional at MassMutual
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2010 – Reviewed Feb 1, 2011
Interview Details – Contacted by MassMutual Rep for a 1:1 interview after applying online. First interview was an overview of the company and products they offer, basic questions about myself (i.e. Do you have a large contact base, would you be willing to work off commission, etc...). Second interview consisted of a more in depth view of the company and systems/processes used to prospect and keep clients, and an offer.
Interview Question – If offered a position, do you believe that you will have a large enough contact base to begin prospecting ? (large enough meant at least 200) View Answer
Reason for Declining – No base salary, commission only.

Financial Services Representative at MassMutual
No Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX Feb 2011 – Reviewed Feb 5, 2011
Interview Details – Met with hiring manage, interview lasted a little more than an hour. Explained how to job worked either got $30,000 base + 50% commission or no base salary and 90% commission of your sales. Not sure about sales positions myself, they make me a little nervous but I thought it might be worth a try. You only receive a small stipend for the 2 week training that you have to attend in San Antonio, TX that doesn't even cover your food for the time so the rest is out of your own pocket. No compensation for mileage or cell phone either.
Interview Question – Why did you choose to attend (your University)? Answer Question
