I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life in Apr 2025
Interview
The initial round was over zoom. They then make you go to a 3 hour seminar to discuss the company and position. If you want to move forward, you have to do an unpaid 50 hour training online. If you don't pass the test, that's it. You have to front the $100 for the test, they pay you back if hired. The job is completely commissioned, no salary, so if you aren't selling, you don't get anything. You also have to find your own clients. One of the very disturbing questions I was asked at the interview was how would I source customers. There aren't that many people looking for life and death insurance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would I find wealthy people who needed life and death insurance?
It was simple and they ask basic questions, but really they are trying to pitch to you their great company and compensation plan that they try to sell to you.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life (Calabasas, CA)
Interview
There was a message on LinkedIn asking if I was interested in learning more about the position and then I was set up with an introductory interview on Teams the next day. After that, I was given the option to move forward for the second interview which I declined.
