      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MetLife in Mar 2017

      Interview

      They give you a prescreening phone call asking a hand full of questions and based on that they either invite you to an 1:1 Interview to meet with the team, or they don't.

      Why Sales? Why Insurance? Hate to lose or Love to Win?
      Answer question
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MetLife

      Interview

      It was a very thorough process that involves multiple screenings. They get a lot of applicants so they really want to weed out a good amount every round. About 20 or so make it to the final rounds so it's very competitive.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Not a questions but once you reach the final panel you will have to do a presentation. I would suggest planning a presentation even though you won't get the topic until later. The more you are prepared the more likely you will get the job.

      Sales Trainee Program Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at MetLife

      Interview

      I was initially interviewed on campus where I was asked why sales? I had no idea, but was able to sell my motivation to succeed the employer. She became a little condescending, giving me backhanded compliments like, "you have a great personality, but I'm afraid you aren't tough enough". It was strategy. I advanced to the final round of interviews where 8 people were interviewing for about 3-4 slots. We interviewed with 6 different people for 30 minutes each, then had to give a presentation on something we were passionate about. Between rotations we were asked to "hang out" in the conference room with the facilitators of the process- some lower-level employees who assisted in the organization of the program. They told us to get to know them and be ourselves, but I think they were watching us closely.
