Applied online for the job. I received an email later to schedule an interview. Set up a date during the week. Mine was in the afternoon at the regional claims office. I was interviewed by two claims managers. Started out with introductions. They alternated asking a series of questions, writing down as much as they could. They then answered any questions I had and gave me a tour of the building.

I applied online then received an e-mail requesting I fill out an a separate questionnaire. A week after I sent that in, I was scheduled for a phone conference interview. Right before the interview, I received an offer for a very similiar trainee position from a competitor. When they brought up salary during the interview I told them about my other offer and how much it was. Nationwide was only going to offer 30k so the interview didn't last long. I appreciated that they brought up the salary almost immediatly in the interview. They admitted that their starting salaries are some of the lowest in the industry. I would think that would make recruiting difficult.
