I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Transamerica (San Diego, CA) in June 2020
Interview
Zoom presentation that outlines what the job entails. No mention of how compensation works exactly, how clients are generated for agents or what type of employment is being offered (independent contractor or employee). Have to pay 100 dollars for a background check before scheduling an orientation or any personal meeting.
Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn and we set up an interview with no application process. One of these commission-based, no-experience-required things. That guy and his mentor talked to me for an hour with a whole presentation, and it ended with an offer to become one of their clients if not an advisor.
Very calm, and easy. They just want to get to know you at first. It isn’t as much as an interview as it is a conversation to see if that want to take the next step
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your background and why you chose to apply to Transamerica
Get an insight of the business, learn about the structure, and compensation potential. It may be for some people but I’m still deciding if it’s for me. It was very reminiscent to a mlm structure so that kind of made me second guess if it was something I wanted to do but it may be for someone.
