The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GEICO (Falls Church, VA) in Dec 2009
Interview
At first I filled out an online application. The recruiter called me within 3 days to schedule a phone interview at a specific time in which he would call me. The call came a ful hour earlier than we agreed upon, and I missed his call. After several attempts to reach him and several bad connections later, he asked me generic questions like why does the job appeal to me, what makes me think I am qualified for the job, etc. Then he asked me what questions I had on the training (3-4 months long) and I asked everything that I could think of. I thought that this was a good sign, but I got a generic email 6 days later stating that I was not chosen to move forward. It seems that since he had called early, he got the wrong impression of me and was biased from then on out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why does this job appeal to you the most? Why an auto damage adjuster and not a claims or customer service position.
