The process took 2 days. I interviewed at New York Life (Baltimore, MD) in Mar 2010
Interview
After an inital phone call an apt. was set for 2 days later. I was very happy with how things went. We talked about the company (of course) and my background. The managrs background and history as well. Spoke of the products and services offered. Over all I liked what I had heard. I wasnt promised the world but I didnt expect to be either. If I had, I would have known it was a joke. Very nice people and so far I recomend others to check them out. I will meet again very soon to discuss I possible transfer into their company.
