Spoke on the phone to a woman from the corporate office. After she told me more about the job I decided I didn't want to jump in to being an agent. Then I got a call from a local agent asking me if I would like to assist.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Family Insurance (Duluth, MN) in Oct 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and email. It was a nice message, short, to the point, yet still personal. Followed up as well when I didn’t respond right away.
Met with the recruiter initially then an area manager, during that call scheduled another formal interview as well.
Given a homework assignment, fill out an application, background study, and that was it.
Questions were talk about me, what I was familiar with regarding insurance, describe my average day, how I was connected in the community, what I would do if I was chosen, my network, etc.
Good people, very nice conversation.
I had a phone interview, and then an in person one with 3 staff. It was thorough but not scary. It felt very rah rah and kind of like a motivational speaker event.
