New York Life Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details It is a long interview process (about different interviews). I am scheduled for a second interview with a sr partner. First interview lasted almost two hours and it was with a former sales agent that decided to go into management. So far both interviews have gone well, people are very pleasant and it seems that they want to make sure that you are fully aware of the cons and pros of becoming a financial service consultant (sales person)

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.

Interview Details I got an email requesting a phone interview the day after I applied. The interview lasted 20 minutes. There were no out of the ordinary questions, basic questions to get to know you. Have examples of situations you've been in prepared because they asked questions that begin in the manner "Tell me about a time when..."

Interview Details 1st Interview- Sit down with recruiter and they give overview of company--> You are then asked to take an assessment to show how aggressive you are, and HW to answer a goals booklet. If you pass, a 2nd interview is set up.
2nd Interview- about 2 hrs; go over the HW (goals booklet)
3rd interview-

Interview Details Submitted my resume and coverletter online through Company's website. Received a call from HR coordinator to schedule a phone interview with her. Afterwords, interviewed over the phone with a business-line manager. Straightforward process.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

Interview Details Referred by a friend to apply. Spoke on the phone with manager once. Sat for an hour interview with manager and sr. manager. Got an offer in two weeks. No pressure work environment.

Negotiation Details – I asked for an extra $5K a year and got it.

Interview Details Very good interview process. Initial contact with managing partner was very positive. Flexible with my schedule to meet. It was a 4 part interview that was informative and energizing a the same time. It wasn't so much of the "drink our kool aid" type of interviews. The overall experience was quite good and I never felt any pressure to hurry and sign up.

Negotiation Details – There wasn't a negotiation phase.

Interview Details I applied online and was invited to interview through a phone call. I was interviewed by the Recruiting Coordinator and the interview was your basic behavioral interview, about 20 minutes. There was also a good amount of time that the coordinator spent praising the company and the people that worked there. After the interview, I was taken to a private room with a computer where I answered basic questions about myself and my behavior, which mostly seemed to focus on my approach to sales and how I deal with difficult customers. The office was very empty as many of the agents were out with clients (this was 10am on a Tuesday).

Reason for Declining – I only got an offer for a second interview with the senior partner, but I declined as I wasn't interested in a sales position and chose another position I felt more comfortable in.

Interview Details Everything went smoothly - no questions were too out of the ordinary. Definitely get the sense that they're selling you their company instead of the other way around.
