Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Zurich North America.
Actuarial Intern
First there was a HireVue, then about a week later I signed up for a virtual interview day. It was a bunch of three 45-minute interview sessions. Each session had 2 interviewers. It honestly just depends on who your interviewers are since one of mine was kinda rude and boring.
- Describe a time you experienced failure and how you worked to improve from that experience.
Actuarial Analyst
For the Recorded Video Interview, there are 6 questions total. You get 2 minutes to record your answer for each question and have 3 attempts per question. You can practice your answer after you see the question, but you need to complete all the questions in one continuous session.
- Tell me about a time you dealt with a workplace conflict.
- What's your motivation for applying to this role?
Actuary
Number of interviews: 3 Participants included the Head of HR, Chief Actuary, CFO, and Chief of HR. We talked about my background, why I'm applying, my choice of major, achievements, why I picked this company, my technical skills, what I expect, my hobbies, salary expectations, and future development plans.
- What are your 8-year career aspirations?
