Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Prudential (Springfield, IL) em fev. de 2013
Entrevista
Recruiter contacted me about an "opportunity". After a brief discussion I was asked to take a Career Assessment test which I was told would measure my sales ability. I took the test and was contacted back right away to come in for a interview. I asked if this were a commission job and was told no. The first interview was mostly a meet and greet, I was asked back for a second interview, they scheduled it during my first interview which is not how interviews usually go which made me a bit leery.
On the second interview I was told I needed to start contacting friends and family to see if they would buy from me if I went into this business. At this point I asked how I would be paid and was told "performance based" and "support money" that they "gave me" after I hit certain sales levels so they spin it into a nicer way to say commission and bonus.
I couldn't actually get any details about compensation until the last interview. It was explained to me then that Prudential would always hold back some of my money as collateral against me in case someone canceled something they bought from me. I was told no matter how long i work there Prudential would always have a minimum of $3600 of my money in a special draw account that I could never receive in full and paid me no interest while it sat there. If i ever quit, this money would not be released to me for 14 weeks.
I was told I could make money other ways like bringing other people in to work there. The more i heard, the more I realized this was like a legal pyramid scheme and declined the offer.

Make sure you understand sales and how to prospect. Professional interview with manager. Asked sales related questions and how I would manage client expectations. It was definitely a positive experience

Although the interviewer was nice, you could tell they were trying to get people through the door and didn't care much about background. They were trying to sell me the job versus the other way around, which is typically a red flag.
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Prudential (New York, NY).
Entrevista
Interviewed for the New York, NY (Manhattan) branch. The whole interview process consisted of 3 interviews. First was an in-personal introduction to the role and the company, and where everything about the position and branch was broken down to you. This is basically just a time for the recruiter to gain a better sense of who you are, so don't stress about it. They are only going to spend a fraction of the time asking you personal questions. They are basic questions like, introducing yourself. Second interview was done over the phone, and this is where more traditional interview questions were asked. Nearly all questions focused around a "tell me about a time when..." style. None of them are super hard, and they should all be pretty basic if you have been through an interview somewhere else. The final interview was with the head of the branch, also done over the phone. This was more like a conversation than an interview. We basically just talked about the role, the lifestyle and culture of the role, and things along those lines. Overall, pretty easy interview process, and I had a good time with it overall. The time it took from applying to receiving the offer was just about a month, so the process was very efficient as well.
