Interview
My description of this interview is going to reflect a million others that I read before going on this interview. But here is my story:
I'm seeking a career change, and I applied for this position. I had a phone interview, which was about three questions in length, before getting a time for an in-person interview later that week. In the interim, I did a lot of research about the company, and read a lot here from glass door, which made me feel negatively about the company; however, I have not had a formal interview in about 10 years so I decided to go if only for practice.
The second interview lasted for about 10 minutes, and then I moved on to the group "interview," which was not actually an interview but a sales pitch about their company and the job. And to be sure, if you are an AMAZING sales person, you will probably do well there.
After that, I had a third interview and submitted a personality test. It appeared to be a Myers-Briggs type test, and seemed focused on the 2 personality frameworks of extraversion and openness to change. At the end, I pointedly asked: "Is this for a sales position, or the management position I applied for?" I was told that everyone begins in a sales role. If I hadn't already deduced that, I would have been upset.
In the end, I was happy for the interview practice. However, the group presentation (since one can't really call it an interview) leader specifically stated that there were two different positions, and hinted that most people would be looking for the management role. It's a bit revolting to tease so many people into a false job. I'm sure the company has many good qualities, but their recruitment and screening processes are not genuine.
I applied to AIL through a company called ACA Solutions in Burnaby, BC. I wasn't called back, but I also didn't answer the personality test through a sales persona.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at American Income Life (Burnaby, BC) in May 2017
Interview
Phone interview - personal interview - group interview - manager interview
I got a phone call after few hours applied email and asked to come to office for personal interview. When I received an email, there was no company name so I couldn't search any info of the company. After personal interview, the manager talked about the company for more than an hour (it was very awkward and really wanted to leave) then got another personal interview. She told me I was qualified for the job and would have another interview with her supervisor. But I declined it.
