Colloquio
- Applied online, HR rep emailed 10 days later to schedule intro interview
- Initial phone interview with HR: basic questions, kind of your standard first get to know you interview
- Three days later got called to schedule an in person interview
- NOTE: Always have your pitch ready. Each interviewer will ask you to sell yourself and convince them you are the best candidate for the position.
- First in-person interview: interviewed by the four managing directors for the different underwriting business units. Pretty intense process, entirely behavioral questions (tell me about a time when...etc.). Definitely prepare for this interview, as it’s 45 straight minutes of non-stop behavioral questions and they want very specific examples and details
- Few days later got called to schedule second in-person interview; more relaxed the second time, mixture of get to know you questions and behavioral - goal seemed to be to confirm cultural, personality, and skill-set fit.
- Couple weeks later was offered the position

Tell me about a time when you were working on a project with a deadline, then your boss gave you a second project to complete right away. You know you can’t finish the new project while also meeting the deadline for the first project. How did you handle the situation, and what was the outcome?

Great program. Great management who wants to hear why you want to be in underwriting. Come prepared with Questions to ask- at least three. They ask behavioral questions. Good luck!
