New York Life Financial Advisor Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Four Interviews total. Interview one seemed like they were trying to sell you on the company. Interview two was a compensation interview. Interview three was a training interview. Interview four was the acceptance interview.

Reason for Declining – Pay is performance based and I did not feel comfortable with the current staff at the office.

Interview Details It was more of a sales pitch then anything else. They tell you what you're going to be doing and why its such a great job, the truth is there are 5 other companies within 10 miles that will hire you to do the exact same thing. These jobs are 100% commission based and cost the company almost nothing to hire you on. The interview was pretty laid back though, nice people. If I was interested in selling investment plans and life insurance, Id work there.

Reason for Declining – Not interested in 100% commission job

Interview Details The initial interview was with the Managing Partner, and the Human Resources Manager. It was essentially a "get to know you" interview, in which I assume they were simply determining whether or not my personality was a good fit for the company. They gave me a Personality Test to complete, as well as a list of questions regarding my life goals to answer and bring back upon my second interview.

Interview Details There are 2 interviews.

Negotiation Details – Commission based

Interview Details Multiple interviews. Second interview seemed to be more of a sales presentation to me based on potential compensation.

Interview Details I was first contacted and had a basic interview with the recruiter. This went fine and then I was scheduled for a second interview with the branch manager. This was a different interview than I normally have. They were trying to sell the company to me and not the other way around. After this I had another interview / informational meeting because the second one was with another employee not the manager because he was busy.

Interview Details Multiple interview process. First Interview was mostly spent talking about previous job experiences in the financial industry. Second Interview was further discussion about the company, the position, and the compensation structure. There was also plenty of time for question and answer in both interviews. Interviews were very comfortable and more of a conversation back and forth rather than the interviewer asking all of the questions.

Interview Details Very informal interview, last 1 hour

Interview Details I first met the New York Life representative at a college career fair. We exchanged contact information and set up the interview shortly thereafter. The interview was an odd experience. I believe I was only asked two or three questions in total. The questions were basic and straight forward. Honestly, I felt like he was selling the company to me, rather than interviewing me. He explained how NYL is a great company to work for, how much money I'd be making, etc.

Reason for Declining – The interview was the first of what I understand is three. After the interview, I was told to contact the interviewer if I was still interested in the position.
