I applied online. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Mayfield Heights, Cuyahoga, OH) in May 2017
Interview
I applied on the website, there was no assessment required for this position. Approx a week after applying, i was emailed to schedule a phone interview. It was very formal. Right after the interview, which I was feeling very questionable about, I received the information from HireRight for a background check. Two days after the phone interview the recruiter called to invite me to a face-to-face interview. I thought this went well, but the atmosphere was very isolated, and I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be working there, so it was no huge disappointment when I received an email saying I was not selected for the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you? What do you know about Progressive? Tell us about a time when you had a disagreement with a coworker and how did you resolve it. Tell us about a time when a supervisor gave you a performance review that you didn't agree with. Tell us about a time you went above and beyond to help the customer. Tell us about a time when you had to learn a difficult system.
The interview process relies heavily on the STAR method. They stress this method before, during, and after interviews. They want real people with real situations so don’t be afraid to be yourself. The whole application to interview to hire process takes over a month so know that going in.

Interview
Very precise interview, check your qualifications for the job and answer the questions in a STAR format. Each answer should be about 30 seconds for Situation, 30 seconds for TASK, a minute for ACTION and a minute for result. Be sure to study up if you really want the job. The questions will be job specific and they want to see why YOU would be the best candidate. They are very positive in their attitude. ALWAYS ask at least two questions at the end, preferably related to the position. Leave them knowing YOU are the best candidate and you will land the position!
