I applied through other source. I interviewed at Allstate
Interview
Initial interview very good - one on one and then the written and oral testing from the corporate office, not to stressful if you know the business - Don't know why this site requires at least 30 words - but - there really isn't much advancement working at the sales locations unless you decide to open your own office or go to work for the actual copy
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Allstate (Johnson City, TN) in Sep 2013
Interview
Standardized questions and very thorough. Some repeating questions in various settings for consistency. Could be reduced to some core questions for areas of evaluation. Interviewed in a local coffee shop and was very casual. Explained the expectations of the position very well and there were no surprises going into the job. It was not a high stress situation that some typically have, but that may have been a result of the interviewer himself being more casual than normal. At the end of the interview we talked about other topics as more of a non-standard interview of general interests.
