Question 1
Explain a time when you went above and beyond your expected duties at your previous job.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Hudson, OH) in Mar 2016
Interview
I interviewed for the Express Claims Service department in Hudson, OH. A recruiter contacted me and I was required to complete a Montage phone interview. Be sure to answer in STAR format and provide specific examples from your work experience. There were quite a few questions, so practice in your best voice and don't forget to speak clearly and positively.
I interviewed with a panel of two, a male and female. They told me about the position, job requirements, benefits and salary. I was asked if I had any issue with the starting salary.
I was asked a couple of general questions about my interest in the position and my future plans. I'd recommend that you sound invested in their company, chances are they're not looking for someone who's just after a steady paycheck.
After that, I was asked three behavioral questions. Make sure to answer in STAR format.
A couple more questions were asked mostly I think to see if I really was invested in their company. Be sure to do your research on Allstate beforehand! After that I got to shadow a Claims Service Specialist and got to ask her a couple questions in between her calls. After that I was walked out and told I'd hear something within 2 weeks.
A week later, got an email requesting more info from the online Allstate job portal. It took another week for the recruiter to call with an offer, and I accepted!
