I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at New York Life (Bala Cynwyd, PA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The interview process with New York Life is very long. I had 5 different interviews and they easily could have been consolidated into 3.
They illustrate the steps needed to be successful and after being there for a while they were right on the mark.
They make you "prove" yourself before offering you full time status which I agree with, it weeds out the slackers.

Question 1
They want you to complete 15 interview with people as part of the process. At first I thought that was a little too much but now I see that this helps gauge a prospective agents commitement.

Management does a good job explaining the Job. It was a lengthy process. Knowing a lot of people is key. It is tough to start but pays off later at commisions build.

Interview
Extensive vetting. Requires you to become licensed for life insurance, after which point you'd have follow up interviews before ultimately moving forward. You need recommendations, and you'll have to conduct some introductory surveys with people who are supportive of you, and these surveys will actually benefit you down the road as you start your career.
The interview process was straightforward and comfortable. The questions were clear, allowing me to express my thoughts easily. Overall, it felt supportive and friendly, making it an enjoyable experience. Thank you!
