I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
Interview was good and easy. I applied online and got called two days later but he didn't say that I had to find my own clients which I knew I couldn't do so I declined. This is for people who have lots of connections and friends that are willing to buy insurance. Most of the pay is based on commissions so you won't be even making minimum wage salary if you don't meet the target each month. I don't think I will be applying for financial advisor again. I declined and he said sorry after trying to convince me but I wasn't fit for this sales. However, he was a nice throughout the interview, you don't need a college degree to go into sales so I was overqualified for this position as well. I think other insurance companies work the same way so I can't blame them just don't go into that business if you don't think you can make it.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
Don't waste time with this company. This gave me a wrong interview time, I showed up but no one is there, I can't reached out to anyone. IT WASTE MY WHOLE DAY! After almost 5 hrs of the scheduled meeting time, someone finally replied me with only one sentence, they never scheduled me for that time, I provided them with evidences about the meeting time, they just made up a meeting time no one ever told me. Very unprofessional.
phone interview for screening, they ask about your work authorization situation and offer a description of the job. Also explained the compensation structure. not very hard and can be very short.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
do you hold work authorization without limitation?
The interview process is three steps and the first is typically getting to know you, then it's about career development and lastly compensation. The process is generally laid back and all about learning about the company.
