I was e-mailed a request for an interview early April for the end o the month. The hiring team allow you a great amount of time to prepare. On the day of the interview of the interview you will be briefed for 15 mins by a HR Recruiter and Underwriter. They will simply give you a more in-depth look int the position. The will give you great tips to focus on in the interview. Finally, your interviewer will come and get you, and the other few interviewees individually. This is the time to shine. Make sure you practice COMPETENCY BASED interviews. That is the type of interview you will have. Ensure that you refresh yourself on ways to answer, "Why are you considering leaving your current employer?" In a VERY concise manner, tell them about yourself. Remember to do something that will grab their attention and keep it relevant to the position. The questions are easy, just remember to focus on relating your work/experiences on those outlined in the job description. However, make sure you listen carefully and use the STAR method for each answer. After which, you will debrief with the managers that interviewed you, and then a HR Rep will come and go over benefits, and other details of the offer package. You will then receive your offer letter via e-mail between 7-10 business day later.

No it was all done over the phone. I was interviewed over the phone, then hired right after the interview was over over the phone on the same day. Good luck! Less

I was asked "What I could bring to the table?" before I really knew what the position entailed. I explain that I had experience at multiple insurance agencies - all of which they performed underwriting for - and I have experience at all stages of the insurance process.

3 Answers

There were not really any hard questions or "trick questions." They just asked me expected questions, and I answered them truthfully. It just seemed straightforward and a refreshing change compared to employers that take weeks and string you along in the interview and/or hiring process. It's a pity that I was treated without respect after only 5 days and terminated along with 2 other underwriters placed by the same staffing agency. MJ Kelly just withdrew their contract with the staffing agency. I was given no reason. Less

You have a birthday cake and have exactly 3 slices to cut it into 8 equal pieces. How do you do it?

3 Answers

First cut the cake in half SIDEWAYS (in two LAYERS). Then cut the cake in half across the TOP (visually makes 2 semi-circles). Lastly, cut the cake in half across the top again (perpendicularly to the other cut). You now have 8, equally portioned slices. Less

Cut the 3 pieces into thirds to get 9 equal pieces. Eat one piece and you are left with 8. Less

First cut into half across the top, then cut the halves in half also across the top (you now have 4 equal pieces) then cut across the middle = 8. Less
