I completed the online application in the beginning of July. I was then informed about a week later via email that they would like to schedule a telephone interview. I was told that if they were interested in moving on to the next step, I would hear back in about a week or two. It was about two weeks later and I was informed that they were interested in moving forward with me. I was then scheduled for a 4 hour interview. The interview was setup for a week later.
When I arrived at my interview site, The first person I met gave me a tour and we had a little time for Q and A. I then went into a room and completed a written assessment. I did not find it difficult although I do not have the best hand writing and that aspect concerns me. Then I was taken to a computer where I took an online assessment. I can type at 60wpm but that does not matter as you have to listen and type in the boxes as the information is being provided. I would not really have an issue with this but, I was a bit nervous. The tab did not seem to function normally and I was not able to tab through the fields and I was slowed down by that. I can understand this being important, but I don't think it is a good representation as to your ability to type and take instruction when it's a brand new system to you.
I then met with a very nice woman who then started the questions again and we had chatted about the position as well. I felt very comfortable with both of the people I interviewed with, however, I am not sure if I will get this position because of two questions. One in which was the fact that I would like to keep my part time job. I got the impression that the idea of doing something on the side while working with Liberty Mutual is not what they expect. It could be that I just read the reaction wrong, but that is what I picked up from it. The other question of concern was because I was very interested in upward mobility. Although this was a positive response received- it also seemed like I may have been a little too eager for a change in position. That is not what I meant by this and would be happy to have the position I applied for, but just like the person interviewing me, I am sure that they were motivated to take opportunities to move up the ladder when the opportunity is there. After a few more questions, I was escorted to the day, thanked and heard that I should hear within two weeks.
It has now been a week and I have not heard back as of yet but I will report back when I learn the outcome.
