I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Jul 2013
Interview
The NYL partner took a very long time describing how good the company and the position is. She kept emphasizing that if you work hard you will succeed as a sales agent. Those who failed or quit are the lazy ones.
I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (West Bridgewater, MA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Your resume is reviewed electronically and you are then provided an initial meeting. The interview process is a bit involved. You meet four times and are provided with the training information if hired.
