I applied online. I interviewed at Allstate in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online and was contacted through email to do a phone screening that was automated. It was basically a prerecorded voice that was asking a question and you recorded your answer. The questions were really hard to hear, so I'd wear headphones at max volume (even then it was hard to hear and I missed the first question because of it). The questions were not hard and were basic questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Allstate (Medford, OR) in Feb 2015
Interview
I personally know the agent I work for so I went in for the interview and we mainly just chatted about the responsibilities of the job and if I could meet those expectations. There were a couple questions and a survey I needed to fill out to determine my personality traits but after the initial interview I was offered the job.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allstate (Markham, ON) in Nov 2015
Interview
I received a phone interview first. Mainly regarding details about my resume, ex. experience and education background. The next day, they asked me to complete an online assessment. It is a call center simulator, testing quick response, basic math and customer service experience, as well as WPM. Then, it follows with an in-person interview with hiring manager, she is also the manager of the division I am applying for. It is an informal interview. She asked a couple of behavior questions, and discuss about what my daily duty will be, especially the challenge of this position. After that, it is employment reference check, then job offer.
