Question 1
Tell us about how you overcome objections in a sales aspect?
I only had to interview with the owner of the agency so I think it’s just more of him liking you as a person because he knows he can train you

Question 1
If I was a quick learner since I had to learn the systems and how to provide it different quotes. That’s the one question that I can remember that stood out.
I applied online. I interviewed at State Farm (Chicago Heights, IL) in Jun 2025
Interview
2 rounds not long interviews either time. Basic questions asked only. Seemed vague to me. Would recommend for some people but not the right job for everybody. I only got asked five questions total in my second round interview the interviewer didn’t even seem interested during the interview.
Interview process was very easy only one interview and then I was hired after successfully completing licensing exams. Taking the courses and passing was the hardest part of the hiring process.
