I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life (Mount Laurel, NJ) in Mar 2012
Interview
I have received the phone call for the interview the day after I came back from my college's job fair, scheduling me for the following week. When that day came, I went to their office, got seated at a computer to take a information/personality test and after that was done, got a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager.
He then interviewed me for about a half hour, telling why I should work for the company, told me what I got on the personality test and how that related to me,etc. The questions that he asked were the usual questions like why do want to work here, what are your weaknesses, how many people do you know, since it's a sales job, etc. Overall a pleasant experience, but I declined the offer since this job was not right for me.
I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life (Saint Louis, MO)
Interview
Via zoom I was interviewed by two individuals that started off asking questions about hobbies and thing you like to do outside of work as an icebreaker. the other questions that they asked were pertaining to work history and how it connects with the the role you applied for. a good amount of customer based questions as well as sales questions. it was said everyone come in as a sales agent and the position is 100 percent performance based, no hourly wage attached. They stated the average agent makes around 100k per year.
3 part, 1st is very conversational, they pitch company and you get to know manager. 2nd is compensation interview, third is marketing. all run through manager who will eventually be your mentor once you get to New York Life

Interview
The process was fairly easy. I scheduled an interview within 3 weeks of submitting the application. The partner that I interviewed with asked personality questions and was much less concerned about work experience.
