Interviewed Nov 2011 in Wilmington, NC (took 2 weeks)
My interviewer first asked me to fully explain my resume and what sales experience I have. She then asked me how I have dealt with rejection before & what motivates me to work. She then asked me my feelings on a purely driven commission position. The second interview they show you what you are selling (mainly insurance) then she asks you what you thought about the information packet she gave you at the end of the first interviewer. The last interview you give the interviewer & the director of the local northwestern a presentation on why they should choose you. They then will extend an offer or inform you of their decision in a few days.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
This company seems to rely on "family friends" to buy your product and not true sales. I was looking for something that would put me out in front of other businesses/people I did not know and be able to show them my product and them be able to tell that my product is the best.
However, I feel this product is very overpriced and did not believe in it. Therefore, this was not a good fit for me.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Newport Beach, CA (took 2 months)
They call back almost everyone just so they can have a bigger selection pool. The first is a group information session. After the group interview, you talk with the recruiter to discuss about an interview. The first interview consists of creating a presentation on Powerpoint about why you want to work for Northwestern Mutual. After that, they give you a packet which you must complete. It consists of "surveys" with family/friends personal information, and other handouts to "analyze your market." Finally, after that is a final interview. The span of all of this took almost two months due to lack of communication on the recruiter's end. I had to continually send follow-ups.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The job entails selling insurance to family and friends. It's not actually building a business, it's about finding enough people to buy insurance from you.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.
