Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Markham, ON) in Dec 2014
Interview
Human Resources is very poor in Canada. Took over 2 months to first get an answer from recruiter, had to apply to a different agency in order to make the internal move
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
internal move therefore all sales driven questions. Just be prepared
Interview process was very informal due to being referred to the position by a current employee. My process was probably not the norm.
Informal first interview with agency manager, wait a week, formal interview with district manager, wait another week, job offer.

Question 1
Q: how are you going to build your network of referrals?
Scheduled a phone interview with HR, and if you pass that you will go through a credit check. If you pass everything, HR will pass your information along to the branch manager who will then reach out to you.
