I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Lubbock, TX) in Apr 2013
Interview
Hiring and interview process is fantastic. One on one, multiple meetings, they make sure you really understand what it is you're getting into. You understand it is hard work, but you also understand if you put in the work, the payout is tremendous. Excellent company.
The interview was fairly easy. There was a 2 interview process that mostly explained pay structure and an overview of the company. The first interview consisted of getting to know you... your goals, skills, and overall character. The second was more of the same but also including a detailed explanation of the different contracts offered and which ones applies to you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to overcome a difficult situation.
Roughly 6 interviews. Review compensation and goals and objectives. They didn't ask me that many questions. They are trying to recruit you. That is how they makeoney. Show that you are a self starter and you should be good.
More of a sales pitch than an interview. Interview took place with on of their Partners at the local office. Office is nice and the people are friendly. Sit with the Partner and discuss career goals and how much money you want to make.
