American Income Life Management interview questions

I told the woman on the phone scheduling interviews that I was not interested in a commission based income as that is my current job and was willing to accept less money than I currently make in order to have a more stable income stream. She told me that wasn't an issue as they have many different positions available. The office that I interviewed at was strange to say the least. There were many people waiting for their interview when I walked in. There were only a few small offices but what was strange was each office consisted of a desk, phone and file cabinet. There were almost no pictures on any walls and no personal effects on any desk. It's as if no one either uses the office or stays there long enough to settle in. The "interviewer" really didn't have a clue on how to interview someone so I stopped the interview and told him as I told them several times previously, that I was not interested in commission based income. He told me that a commission based sales job is all they are hiring for and apologized for wasting my time and I left. It seems that the "recruiter" aka the receptionist was more interested in filling the schedule than to actually recruit people interested in what they were offering. I can't speak to anything else. Commision based income is not a bad job and can be very rewarding. In realty the vast majority of people are not ready to devote the time and money it takes to actually make any real income from a commission based job. It takes a long time to develop a client list and often you spend 14-16 hours per day working and don't make any money. There are quite a few upfront costs and you will have to be prepared to spend quite a while before receiving any type of pay. That said once you break into the business you can do very well. Read the other reviews on this site as they are very helpful and from what I can tell appear to be truthful.

I was contacted by an AIL recruiter by phone about open positions. I asked point blank more than once if this was a sales position. I was assured that it was not sales, they were hiring for management positions. I explained that I had spent 10 years in insurance sales and I got out of it due to being tired of the "grind" of sales. As I said, I was repeatedly assured that it was not sales. On that assurance I made the appointment for the interview.
