I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Culver City, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
You must come on a Wednesday at 2pm dressed for interview (they will call to confirm and give friendly reminder), but before being "interviewed," you're there to hear an hour+ long presentation about the industry, the state of what the average person needs when they retire, then a breakdown of what they do. The presentation is fairly informative, obviously built to recruit agents. You then fill out an application of sorts and go in for an interview, where you're again sales-pitched.
At first is pretty much a really quick screening process over the phone, then a phone interview, and then like two in person interviews basically, with two different higher ups.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Muncie, IN) in Mar 2026
Interview
It started with a briefing seminar in a group before an in person interview. The questions were brief and in line with other sales jobs. Motivation seems to be the highest desire from the employer.
Very easy group briefing and then a personal one on one interview. You get to see exactly what you'll be getting into and the awesome structure of the company. You also get to see how you can develop your career there.
