- Application Details
I interviewed in-person - interviewed at GEICO.Interview Details
Basically if they say they are going to email or call you in 3 days and let you know something you didn't get it because GEICO does everything for their new hires in the same day they are full of poopie I made a simple mistake on the MOCK CALL and they said bye...but the thibg about it is that training is 3 WHOLE months and she basically said im not trainable. RUDE company I want to work there because of the pay and benefits until something else came along but I hear from current employees they are or your back and get on you about everything...maybe thats why the turn over rate is so high... even with all of this I would still apply because of the pay and the raise every yr. But this is a warning for new applicants the hardest part is the MOCK CALL.Interview Questions
No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
- Can you see yourself working for us long term View Answer
- Application Details
I interviewed online - interviewed at GEICO in August 2014.Interview Details
A recruiter calls and describes the position, salary, training dates and times, and asks why you want to work at Geico. The next step is to do a very easy typing test and role play, via computer and after that, an interview with a manager. The manager just reads questions off papers and it really didn't feel like an interview at all. You can't even follow up with the person who interviewed you and you're just told that a manager will call you within five days. Instead, you receive an e-mail stating that you didn't get the position.Interview Questions
No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
- Tell me about a time where you received constructive criticism. Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed through an employee referral. The process took a day - interviewed at GEICO in March 2014.Interview Details
The interview was really long. I was in there for 5 hours. They tell this over the phone in the fire interview. Then they have you sit down and do typing test. Then they you do a mock call tutorial then you do a mock call with an interviewer. Basically you show them that you can ask for the sale and overcome objections.then they do another interview when they ask you about your resume. Basically they ask you STAR questions. Then you listen to calls for an hour with an agent then you get your final interview with the manager and they basically ask you star questions again.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI negotiated my salary because i had sale experience but no college degree. I only got a 500 dollar raise.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- It was not a difficult process. Basically if you aren't afraid to ask for the sale and you can type you will do fine. Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed online. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at GEICO in August 2014.Interview Details
The interview process is long and tedious. If you make it to the end, plan on being there for about 5-6 hours. First there is the phone interview that is really basic. Then there is the computer test, which is basically gauging how well you handle stress and how well you multi-task and type. Then you have the f2f interview with the initial interviewer, do your research on the company and the position you are applying for so you can cater you answers to their needs. They will basically ask you the usual questions, i.e. "Why did you chose Geico?" "Why this position?" "How long could you see yourself working here?" etc. Then they have you do a role playing test, which tests out how well you can sell a product and how good your people skills are. If you make it past all of this, they will have you shadow someone-which you need to pay attention, because they will ask you about what you heard. The last step is having the f2f interview with the hiring manager.Interview Questions
No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- There really weren't any difficult questions just over prepare and practice your answers and be happy and jovial and relaxed when you go in. Answer Question

I interviewed online. The process took 3 days - interviewed at GEICO.Interview Details
Multi-level interview. Consists of numerous tests and evaluations, such as a timed typing assessment (easy) which measures multi-tasking, a test that gauges how rule-oriented you are, and a simulation of upselling to a customer. Be prepared to mention every leadership opportunity you ever had and have anecdotes prepared for how you overcame adversity, changed another persons mind, or resolved a dilemma. Also be ready to advise that GEICO is your long-term goal.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNo opportunity to negotiate, but if you graduated with a four year degree, that is taken into consideration.Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Provide a specific scenario where you received negative feedback and how it was utilized to better yourself. Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed online - interviewed at GEICO in July 2014.Interview Details
The hiring process wasn't to bad, they were all very nice. It is very nerve racking and long though. 1st- You take a computer test that is long. I thought I did terrible on it the whole time but I apparently did perfectly fine on it. So then you have an interview with someone asking you what your strengths and weaknesses are and what you think will prepare you for this job. 3rd- You do a mock call center test where you get 30 minutes to look over a couple of papers they give you and they call you and pretend to be stranded and you do this 3 times and then talk to the person then you get scheduled with the actual hiring manager and its just a normal interview.Interview Questions
No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- I think the most difficult part was the mock call center. I just have never done anything like that, and it was nerve racking Answer Question

I interviewed online. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at GEICO in May 2014.Interview Details
Like always you first have to apply for the position. If the HR department likes your resume, a representative will sent you an email. From their its really a step process. After excepting the email, they will contact you and go into detail the position. If you except then they will ask you to take an online exam that focuses on memory retention, and personality. If you pass then they will set up a phone interview. If you pass the phone interview the next step is to meet with them face to face for another interview. In this interview you will be asked question on why you want to work with them. Have you ever dealt with a difficult client and how you resolved it. If your boss has ever given you constructive criticism and how did you respond? What attributes do you have for the job, or what transferrable skills are related to the position? Easy- excellent customer service. The interview can go from 30 min to an hour.
If answered in a way that your previous jobs somewhat relate to what you do, you will be good. If you pass this interview questioner in person, and they like your answers you will be asked to return a different day to do a role play. As you have read from others, this is the true interview. The final step on either getting an offer or not. When you go back they will give you a fake company that handles claims but not cars. Keep in mind you are being timed, they want to see how your customer service skills are and if you buckle under the given situation.Interview Questions

I didn't complete the process. I received a job offer for the same position with a different carrier with a much higher starting pay.
Nonetheless, applied online. Got a generic email afterwards. Phone interview, then an online test I had to complete with 24 hours. Scheduled for an in-person interview at a hotel? Then if they liked me, I would have to come back to the hotel and take a 2-3 hour test. The hotel location was NOT near me at all and I'd have to miss two days at work...why not allow both on the same day? Also, why a hotel? That's just super weird to me. Sounds like I'm just #934 out of #4293 when they told me that.
I told them I received a job offer with higher pay. They told me the salary after the first year, still 1.2k less than my offer so I passed.
I've worked with alot of Geico inside adjusters and the AD training is very good. However, all Geico claims are overworked.No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview

I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 3 days - interviewed at GEICO in August 2014.Interview Details
Everything seemed really rushed for me. The day after I applied I was called and had to do 2 phone interviews. The next day I was called and asked to take an assessment test. I passed and was called again. I was asked to drive to Katy (about an hour away without traffic) during my normal work schedule to do a "Role Play Scenario." They sit you in a small room and give you about 35 sheets of information, 2 "customer" folders, you're made to listen to a tape and take notes WHILE answering the phone, having "customers" come into the room, and reading material. There is no preparation. I was told "as long as you can negotiate and your customer skills are great you should have no problem." I actually felt I did great, but never received a call back or email even telling me I did not get the position.Interview Questions

- They will ask the same questions, but reword them. It's basically all just tied into customer service and/or negotiations. Answer Question

It was a pretty jaw-dropping day in court for the Jodi Arias trial on Tuesday.
The defense got their first chance to convince a jury Arias acted in self-defense when she allegedly killed ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.
One of their first witnesses was Darryl Brewster, a former boyfriend of Arias. He was asked specifics on his and Arias four-year relationship, including graphic details about their sex-life.
Syleste Rodriguez talks to defense attorney Dwane Cates about Tuesday's testimony and what we can expect on Wednesday.

Despite expungement, record of cop's drug charge remains, Philly
By Danielle N. Rodier, Of the Legal Staff
March 30, 2001 Friday
Copyright 2001 American Lawyer Media
The Legal Intelligencer
March 30, 2001 Friday
(PHILADELPHIA) - Although an arbitrator ruled that a police officer''s charge of possession of an illegal substance should be expunged from his employment records, the city may retain notice of the charge in an Internal Affairs Division record, the majority of an en banc Commonwealth Court has ruled.
Two out of the seven judges on the panel dissented in City of Philadelphia v. Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, finding that the arbitrator''s ruling that the officer''s record should be expunged "to the fullest extent" naturally included the IAD report. The majority played on the ambiguousness of that phrase, indicating that the arbitrator could have mentioned the IAD file specifically if he intended it to be expunged too. "Without some express basis for intrusion into IAD files, the language of the award here should not be interpreted to indicate an intent to affect matters beyond the narrow question of just cause for termination," Commonwealth Court Judge Doris Smith wrote for the majority. "At most the award was ambiguous on the question of whether the arbitrator intended for the IAD file to be expunged."

Cameras were rolling when the Toronto Zoo's polar bear cub stumbled through his first steps earlier this week.
He was born back in November on the ninth and now weighs almost ten pounds.
He's been taken care of by zoo keepers around the clock to make sure he's getting everything he needs. His mother has a history of rejecting her cubs, so that's why he's been in the care of zoo keepers.
So far, this adorable cub still has not been named.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, polar bears are classified as "vulnerable." There are 20,000 to 25,000 of them worldwide.
The adorable video on YouTube has gotten more than 750,000 views.

DeWitt, NY -- A story about protestors sentenced to jail Friday for obstructing traffic at Hancock Field lead to a rousing discussion of First Amendment rights and responsibilities.
Thirteen people protesting the operation of drones by the 174th Attack Wing of the New York Air National Guard from Hancock Field were arrested in October 2012 for trespassing and disorderly conduct. (A video taken of the protest appears above.)
After several days of testimony, DeWitt Town Judge David Gideon dismissed the trespassing charge, but found the protestors guilty of disorderly conduct. He sentenced them to 15 days in the Jamesville Penitentiary, with the sentence to begin immediately.
By Sunday afternoon more than 230 comments had appeared on the story. Here's a sampling of what they said.
"No matter what your political view, the suppression of dissent, the militarization of police forces, government spying on its citizens, the Patriot Act, NDAA, should be of concern. Our democracy is at risk."
"What an excellent use of court time and taxpayer funds. Maybe someone could research how much this spectacle has cost between police officer time, the court's time, the DA's time, and now the jail time. Glad we can rest easier knowing an example has been set for all those wild protestors out there. I would rather the City put more effort into the panhandling problem."
Lucy van Pelt
"Breaking the law is sometimes the right thing. Justice has advanced because a brave few have realized this uncomfortable truth and taken it seriously.
We owe them, a lot."
"Many of the people we have sent to Afghanistan and Iraq are bashing the government as are Tea Party members and anti abortion people and many liberals. It's our constitutional right to raise our voices and bash the government."
"They were convicted of Disorderly Conduct.
Their freedom to protest ended when they intentionally interfered with the freedom of motorists to lawfully use the highway.
At that point, their "peaceful" protest turned into a disorderly act which ended with their arrest and subsequent conviction.
Attempting to frame this incident as a 1st Amendment issue is little more than a smoke screen."

Despite indications that the Eagles want Michael Vick for next season and beyond, the team and the quarterback have yet to discuss a contract extension, according to sources close to the situation.
The Eagles will meet internally in the next few weeks to discuss Vick's future, or for that matter, any other player they would like to extend or re-sign, a team source said.
In the past, the Eagles have used November as a time to lock up players with expiring contracts or budding stars before they hit the free market.
However, with labor talks at a standstill and uncertainty about what a potential collective bargaining agreement could look like, NFL teams might be reluctant to negotiate new contracts.

Another school year has turned the page, but Temecula Great Oak's cross country teams are expected to keep right on rolling.
Xcnation.com recently released its top-50 national rankings, with Great Oak being named as the national No. 1 on the girls side, and No. 3 for the boys.
Great Oak's girls lose two top-12 state runners to graduation in Haley Dorris and Ashley Helbig, but the Wolfpack return junior Destiny Collins, who was third in the state last year, senior Maiya Larsen and junior Desi Stinger.
Fayetteville (N.Y.) Manilus was ranked second in the poll, and Phoenix Desert Vista was third.
Davis, second in the state to Great Oak last year, was ranked fifth.
The Wolfpack boys return most of their top runners, including Nick Doan, Tony Robinson, Isaac Cortes and Robbie Gleeson. Spokane (Wash.) North Central, with individual No. 1 Tanner Anderson, and Lincroft (N.J.) Christian Brothers Academy were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
One other Inland area team — Riverside King's boys — cracked the top 50 in the xcnation poll at No. 33.

Inequality and higher education in Italy The distributive impact of fees and subsidies to academics
AbstractIn this paper we evaluate in monetary terms the benefits from attending a post-secondary degree in an Italian university. We also propose a microsimulation model that takes into account the spatial distribution of scholarships, fees and other monetary and in-kind services related to the university sector. In this way, it is possible to obtain a good approximation of the real net benefit gained from attending a post-secondary Italian degree and to study its distributive impact on both the users and the whole Italian population. We will provide evidence that the benefits from public higher education have universalistic features. However, the tax-system that is applied by each university is slightly regressive whilst subsidies have a high potential in terms of redistribution, even though the allocated funds are not enough to create any significant effect. Given these results, a new tax-policy is proposed to overcome some of the problems of the present system.

Carter Wall
Executive Director, Renewable Energy Division, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center
After less than a month in operation, the Falmouth Wind turbine is cranking out the green kilowatt hours like nobody's business. See how much it's producing.
This turbine was truly a community effort. The town voted overwhelmingly to support the project, and even school kids got involved. The Falmouth Energy Committee sponsored a "Name the Wind Turbine" contest. Thirteen-year-old Kiernan Galbraith, pictured here, was the winner, dubbing the turbine "Aeolus," after the Greek ruler of the winds. See pictures of the turbine.
Funding for the turbine came from a variety of sources. My shop, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, was a proud contributor – part of our effort to help communities participate in meeting Governor Patrick's goal of 2000 megawatts (MW) of wind power in the Commonwealth by 2020. There are currently 19 of these community-scale turbines (turbines 100 kW or greater) operating in the state, with over 15 MW of capacity.
This 1.65 MW Vestas wind turbine, located at the town's wastewater treatment plant, is expected to produce about 30 percent of the electricity consumed annually by the town's municipal buildings, saving the town over $200,000 a year on energy costs and making Falmouth one of the leading "clean energy" towns in the Commonwealth. The town recently voted to support another turbine nearby. EEA Secretary Bowles recently visited the Falmouth turbine to congratulate town officials and the Cape at large for their clean energy leadership.

Comparing Homes – Energy-Saving Enters the Equation posted on Aug 28
Until recently, there was no way to easily figure energy efficiency into a home buying decision. Enter HomeMPG, a Massachusetts energy-saving initiative to pilot an energy performance score (EPS) in residential homes. This "asset" rating that's analogous to a car's MPG rating. Behavior is taken out of the equation so that any home's energy use can be compared to any other home, allowing for an apples-to-apples comparison.
