      Benefits Counselor Interview

      Jun 11, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mercer in Jun 2018

      Interview

      Very quick process. I applied to the position, and the next day received an email telling me to do the video interview. The video interview wasn’t that bad, you just answer questions to prerecorded questions by an employee. The next day, I got an email asking to schedule a panel interview. Scheduled it, very relaxing interview. The atmosphere was great and the people were so nice. I was supposed to have 3 people in my interview, but ended up only having one person for most of the time, then an additional person came in. 95% of the questions were “tell me about a time when...” An hour later, a recruiter called me offering me the job. I wish the salary would’ve been higher, otherwise I would have accepted the offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a situation.... -when you had to deal with change, how did you deal with it? -when you were frustrated with a supervisor, coworker, etc., how did you handle it? -when a customer was frustrated, how did you handle that?
