Application
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MassMutual (Hunt Valley, MD) in May 2009
Interview
First interview will be with a sales manager. They will review the sales process and the products that you will be able to sell. This can last about 30min to an hour. You will be questioned as to your self motivational skills and internal need to succeed. You will need to exhibit a competitive nature and provide examples. You will have at least one more interview with the sales manager and the general agent after the initial. At this time, the compesation schedule and bonus structure will be reviewed. Typically the interviews end with a decision on your part. They will ask you if you want the job. This is a sales position and if you are willing to put forth the effort, there is minimal chance that you will not be hired. There is no base salary, so from a management standpoint....they have nothing to lose in giving you a shot. I met many hires from numerous educational and professional backgrounds. So industry experience is not necessarily required.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to make cold calls? No questions were particularly difficult or tricky as far as provoking thought. Just simply are you willing to do what is required. I was unsure if I was willing to cold call. That is why it was a difficult question for me.
4 rounds, not really intensive. My firm was basically looking to see if I would mesh well within their own culture, not really anything to do with the industry or in depth technical aptitude
I applied online. I interviewed at MassMutual (Orlando, FL) in Feb 2024
Interview
Easy 15 minute chat, then to managers for 45 minutes to find more out about role. Asked standard common questions. Also asked industry financial planning and advising questions. A little bit of sales talk considering you're expanding your own brand.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MassMutual (Princeton, NJ) in Apr 2023
Interview
Phone call, zoom, in person then an offer. Pretty easy and straightforward. Couple steps then you'll get an offer or they will move forward with someone else. Took about 3-4 weeks in total.
