I applied online. I interviewed at American Income Life (Santa Ana, CA)
Interview
I walked in this large waiting room, and there was over 10 people waiting for an interview before me. I had responded to an ad on CraigsList, and was scheduled for an interview right away.
My interviewer was late for the interview and I waited for about 30 minutes. The "HR Director" called me finally in for an interview, it was more of a conversation than an interview. Very informal. Of course no salary was discussed, but to my assumptions it is commission based. I was extended an offer right away, and was told to wait for about an hour or so for a group orientation.
At the moment I said yes and I went outside to wait.
But then I realized, that is what they do. They take everyone that applies, and then it's whoever sticks...
It felt like a total waste of time.
Interview was good. I answered almost all the questions. The interviewer was very smart. He knew what exactly he was doing . He asked me about my background like what I have been doing past 10 years. I answered all of the questions.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at American Income Life
Interview
I applied for a generic entry level management job on Indeed. Did not list the company...etc. I received a phone call from a man that spoke very, very fast. Didn't tell me again what the company was or what the job entailed ( I had to google the man's name he gave me to find out it was AIL). Told me he wasn't sure if I was a right fit yet and maybe 1 minute later he said he really liked me and asked me to come in for an interview.
In person interview: opened the door to the office at 430pm and they had techno music blaring and multiple other candidates there. In person interview was exact same conversation as on the phone, very short, wasn't sure if they liked me then said they really did and asked me to move onto next part.
At this point I've had 2 conversations with 2 different people and yet no one shared anything with me about the position, what it all entails...etc. So, I was interviewing for a job I had no knew nothing about and it was obvious all they wanted was as many applicants and interviews as possible. I denied to go further in the process.
