      Senior Underwriter Interview

      Jul 10, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Tampa, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life (Tampa, FL) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      So far I've only had a phone interview, which was surprisingly quick. When the recruiter contacted me, he stated that it would take approximately 30-45 mins, well it only took 11 minutes. I was only asked 1 behavioral question and just general questions about myself. The interviewer was really nice and pleasant to speak with. He let me know the next steps, and in exactly less than a week i was contacted to do a face to face interview. I'm super excited and really nervous and i really hope I get it, because I'm very interested in the medical field and this is my opportunity. I worked with NYL before and can say nothing but great things about the company.
