The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Income Life (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2011
Interview
Basically a two step process. one with general questions then the second was a group interview selling the company they then pick those interested in for a final interview.The final interview will be with local manager. Their is very little risk for them to make an offer but other than support staff you will be required to take a class in that you pay for upfront.

Question 1
the standard what are you best attributes. What challenges have your faced...
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at American Income Life (State College, PA)
Interview
Would not discuss salary over the phone. I drove 16 hours and 400 miles round trip to find that the recruiter role was for $10/hr with no bonus and no relocation assistance. The questions were straightforward and the interview was quick and easy.
Received a text from the recruiter (not sure where she got my cell number) telling me a bit about the company and that I could find out more if I attended one of their Zoom presentations. I logged into the Zoom call and the presentation was appealing. I reached back out to the recruiter telling her I was interested and that I already had my insurance license. She didn't get back to me until later the next day. We set a Zoom call interview for the following morning. She started her presentation and asked me the same questions I had already answered on their questionnaire (why did they ask me to fill that out if they were not going to look at it?). I asked lots of questions. She answered most, some answers were vague and some she couldn't answer. I was surprised that she couldn't answer questions about the commission pay structure, when compensation was one of the main topics for our meeting . But she said she'd find out and get back to me later in the day, however she did not. I asked what the next steps were, and she explained what I would need to do to get my insurance license. Really?? I had already told her directly that I have my insurance license. I had also mentioned that on their questionnaire. And I uploaded my resume, which of course clearly states that I have a license to sell insurance in my state. At this point I was unimpressed. After my call I started looking at employee reviews for this company and they were not good.

Question 1
Why did I think I'd be a good candidate for the job?
I applied online. I interviewed at American Income Life (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
Went in thinking I was applying for a recruiter position. That was not the case. You have to spend a year in sales and then you either become a manager or a sales person.
Job posting was false and the interview was not for any position that you actually applied for.
1 on 1 interview, very brief and then an hour long presentation that had a very pyramid scheme feel to it.
If you applied for a specific role online, don't expect to get it unless you want to be in sales.
