      Life Insurance Underwriter Interview

      Apr 16, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Plymouth, MN
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (Plymouth, MN) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      I could not make it past the pre-recorded interview stage, so unfortunately I cannot describe what the in-person interviews are like. However, similar to most of the entry-level positions (and maybe certain higher-up positions as well), I was given a "virtual interview" where I was shown a video of an employee asking a behavioral question, which I had to answer by talking in front of my webcam. I personally felt that the interview format was awkward because I was not able to talk to an actual person and I was given a specific amount of time (around 30 seconds) to prepare for each question, which added to the pressure. I know that many companies do this, but I am personally not a fan of this format and would prefer to speak to a recruiter on the phone. Keep in mind that this was also one of my first interviews for an entry-level, post-college job, and I had little experience answering behavioral questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me of a time when you had an idea or strategy that was not popular with a colleague, and you had to find a way to agree on a solution together for a project. What steps did you take? What was the result?
