      Senior Administrative Assistant Interview

      Sep 14, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Jersey City, NJ
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Jersey City, NJ) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      The interview process was seamless and very comfortable. I would have taken the position if the position has been offered earlier, but I have accepted another position in the interim. Everyone I met with (Erin, Rich, Janiene and Christine) were wonderful and it hurt me to have to turn it down. Vacation schedules contributed to the slower response.

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      After the Three-round interview process, I was ghosted then sent a generic rejection email, not even a phone call. I reached out to the recruiter multiple times, even left her a voicemail, and she never reached out to me. Completely unprofessional

      Senior Administrative Assistant Interview

      Jun 25, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Got a phone screening interview fallowed by a face to face interview one week later. I met with 2 hiring managers for about 30 minutes each. I was given an excel test and to write a letter at the end of the face to face interview. It seems that they like me and my background was a good fit for the position. I got a call one week later that I didn't get the job but the managers liked me recommended me for another position in my hometown (it became obvious that I didn't get it because I live too far which was confirmed to me later on). I met with the new hiring manager in my hometown who also liked but unfortunately did not offer me the position because the salary is at entry level and I couldn't take it since it would have set me back. It seems to me that they want the experience but are not willing to pay for it.
