      Auto Damage Field Adjuster Interview

      Aug 27, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Woodbury, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GEICO (Woodbury, NY) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      First step is a brief phone interview, just listen to what they say about the job and answer some availability questions. It is fairly straight forward. Second step is to go into Geico for computer testing. You will be tested on Reading Comprehension (high school level) and Spatial Analysis (basically you have to count boxes on a computer screen). With regard to these test, accuracy is more important than answering more question, you will be timed (you have less than 3 minute for each section so make sure you don't skip the tutorial). This step require focus. If you pass you will move on to step 3. Third step involves a face to face interview with the hiring staff at Geico, they will ask you S.T.A.R. type questions. Be prepared to answer questions and also prepare questions to ask them. Being prepared ahead of time will help you succeed here. If you pass you will move on to final step. Final step is a role play assessment. You will be given a packet of information which you have 30 minutes to read and remember. Then you will spend the next hour or two pretending you are an adjuster for a warranty company. You will be required to talk to clients and repair shops over the phone and in person, you will also be required to fill out some forms including claims, estimates, on site visit planner, etc. It is vital that you read the instruction carefully and follow its every instruction. If you go off script, you will not pass. The most important aspect of this last role play assessment is actually testing your temperament and ability to work under pressure. The fake clients and fake repair shop people (actors are Geico employees) will scream at you, make unreasonable demands and test you for how far you can be pushed. To pass, you need to do what's required (file claims, make estimates, negotiate repair, fill out the forms correctly, etc.). Keep smiling, be polite and never lose your temper. Frankly, I messed up by incorrectly filing the estimate and tried hard balling in a negotiation with the fake repair shop people. MY ADVICE: REMEMBER YOU ARE A GLORIFIED CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE AN ADJUSTER LICENSE, HAVING CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILL IS VERY IMPORTANT! Failing this step will result in a ban from reapplying for a year instead of the usual 6 month. To be honest, it's kind of harsh, be mentally prepared. If you pass the role play assessment, you will meet with hiring staff again and be offered the job. There is no negotiation with regard to pay, you start with 43K. Pass drug test and background check (including credit) and you are employed. After which you will be sent to Geico Training Program to learn and obtain your adjuster license (takes 3 months). You may be sent away from home for a month, depending on your location. Pre-School takes 1 month and is done at your local area. The actual School is in Mclean, VA (for east coast applicants), you will stay 1 month there, all expenses are paid for. The Post-School takes 1 month and is done at your local area again. After 3 months of learning and upon successfully obtaining the adjuster license, you will officially start your job as an on-site adjuster. After another 6 months to a year, you will be moved to adjust claims in the field. So, from application to actually starting your job will take 3-6 months minimum, during which you will be paid. You'll get a small raise once you become an official field adjuster. Keep in mind though, if you fail to maintain a 90% average during training or fail to obtain your license at the end, you will be dismissed and terminated.

      Role play is the biggest part of the interview. The assessment is also tough. You have to be very focus and answer all questions accurately. They aren't looking for how many answers you complete they look for how accurate your answers are

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at GEICO (Pensylvania) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and was contacted by email the next day to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview, very straight forward. "why Geico?" "Why auto adjuster?" and so on. only lasted about 20 minutes, about 10 minutes of which was the interviewer telling me about what to expect from the application process and the training if I were hired. Then I moved on to the in person interview. This was also fairly straight forward. Lots of behavioral questions. almost all behavioral questions. Prepare for behavioral questions. This interview lasted about 40 minutes. Then about 10 minutes later I moved on to the dreaded "role playing simulation". It is difficult, and there is really nothing you can do to prepare for it. you really just have to roll with it. You are sat down at a table, given about 50 pages of information and forms while you listen to a 30 minute tape explaining the company you work for, and their rules, and procedures for adjusting claims. Its a lot to take in, and you wont be able to remember it all but don't get too distracted trying to remember everything. All the answers you need are in front of you, only problem is there are spread through out about 50 different pages. Then claims start to come in, you get phone calls where you have to talk to customers and contractors. Some of the interviewers will come in to your "office", playing the role of insureds and contractors. They will be difficult and demanding and try to rattle your cage. You are basically tested on your negation abilities and how well you follow the procedures laid out in the training material. I think the best advice it to just remember its only role playing, just be polite and respectful, and don't rush yourself, take your time to find the answers. Best advice would be to just take a breath, and relax. It was a challenging but rewarding experience. Even if I didn't get the job.
