New York Life Agent Interview

Feb 21, 2014

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Declined offer

Negative experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at New York Life (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2013

Interview

Attended an industry highlight panel though my schools OCR. Panel was just on insurance and each company was selling it's key points. Rather boring but I networked with the New York representative and found him very interesting. I contacted him later via email to thank him for his time and he invited me in for an interview. Strictly getting to know you, No real behavioral situations. Just a chat. Accepted the offer and interned over the summer. Terrible experience though. Maybe life insurance just isn't for me.
