The first thing you do is apply online. If you pass, someone will be calling you to discuss the job. This call happened the next day. I applied at 10:30 at night, the next morning I got an email telling me to pick a time for the call to happen, and by 12:00 that day I was talking to someone about the job preview and the expectations. If the person likes you then you'll go on to the next stage which is the true interview process...
Note: Expect lots of waiting at this interview as it will take all of 5 hours and possibly more.
You show up at the office with about 5 to 10 other people and take a skills and typing test together. The skills test is getting used to a system where you input information that you receive via "phone calls" and "emails". They are obviously not real, you just treat it like they are. The interviewer tells you time and time again that you won't be able to keep up with the information but that's a lie, it's very easy to keep up if you spend the practice time actually learning the software (it's easy). Typing is typing. If you can type quickly and read well then you're good to go. Afterwards they'll take you one at a time out of the room and tell you if you passed that portion. Of the 8 people in my group, 5 made it to the next round.
The next round is 1-on-1 interviews with a hiring professional. You wait for your named to be called and then you meet with someone who talks to you about your previous jobs and what you'll be doing at Geico. Pretty basic stuff, "Tell me a time when..." or "Blah Blah Difficult Customer, what did you do?". Stuff like that. Ask plenty of questions about the job and training and company. After all that is done, the fun starts; the role play.
The Role Play. You're put in a single room with a few sheets describing a fake company, a few pens, and a phone. Your job will be to answer 3 questions about different customers accounts given the information provided to you. All of the information will be provided and you will have 20 minutes to study everything. Trust me, that's plenty of time. Once your 20 minutes of studying are up, the phone will ring and someone will be playing one of the 5 customers that you were given and you handle the interaction. Be friendly, nice, understanding, correct, and they'll love you. I stumbled and stuttered my way through it but I followed the guidelines given to you in the sheets and they passed me. You'll get called 3 times. You go to the final stage if you passed this.
The Final Stage. You meet with a hiring professional who once again goes over job history and asks the same interview questions. Feel free to ask this person the same questions you had for the first person in the 1-on-1 session. If you've made it this far, you're going to get a job offer so congrats!!!
Final-Final Stage. You have to do a drug test, credit check, and background check. They test your hair and not your urine for the drug test so if you do drugs, don't even try and apply. This one will catch you. I don't do drugs so I obviously passed this. The whole background check stuff took about 9 days.
It's a long interview process but it's typically done in one day. Mine took two days because the hiring professional wasn't free anymore so they rescheduled that interview for the next day. If they ever ask you to leave without scheduling something else, you didn't get the job. They'll tell you something about "... we'll send an email soon". Yeah, you didn't get the job. Sorry.
