I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied for the position through online and then got the interview through career fair. The interview was face to face and took no more than an a half hour. The interviewer was very warm and welcoming; the interviewer did not as many questions, but be ready to have strong answers for these 5: 1) What do you know about NYL 2) Why sales? 3) Why financial services? 4) Why do you want to work here? 5) What do you bring to the table?
The next face to face interview was more of a presentation that dug into how compensation worked and more about the company and their training.
The third and final interview was more of a conversation if this is the right move.
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.

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.
