Employment Process

What can you expect during State Farm’s employment process?

Thank you for your interest in State Farm. While State Farm’s strength and character are an initial attraction, the wide variety of opportunities is the real draw for applicants.

Each State Farm location may do things a bit differently, but the general process is:

Online Application

• All applicants wanting to be considered for employment must complete an online application through the State Farm® Career Center on statefarm.com or statefarm.ca. The online application can be accessed through the Search Jobs button on the right navigation bar of each Career page.
  
  
• In order to apply to a specific job or submit an online resume applicants  must register by creating a username and password and entering a valid e-mail address.
  
  
• Applicants can also create a Job Search Manager that will automatically notify them when a position matching the criteria indicated becomes available.
  
  
• To apply for the Corporate College Summer Intern Program in Bloomington, Illinois, candidates should visit the Internships page on State Farm® Career Center for a listing of all internship opportunities. Each internship has a unique Job Opening ID that candidates can enter into the appropriate field on the search/apply page of the application to apply to the specific internship. To be considered for other Internship opportunities outside Bloomington, applicants can use the search/apply feature to apply for Zone internship opportunities.
  
  
• An online application remains in our database for 12 months from the date of last activity, which includes updating the resume and/or applying for a specific job opening.
  
  
• Applicants can view the positions to which they have applied. If a candidate can no longer view a position in the list of their “applied to” openings, the candidate is no longer under consideration or is not competitive for the opening.
  
  
• Applicants can inactivate their resume from consideration by logging into the Career Center and clicking Inactivate Online Resume.

Selected for an Interview

• If you are identified for further consideration, a recruiter will contact you to discuss next steps which may include a telephone or on-site interview and pre-employment testing depending on the position, as well as completing the second portion of our employment application.
  
  
• If you are competitive on our screening interview and pre-employment testing (if applicable) you may have one or more additional interview with a recruiter and/or management professional at State Farm.

Offered a job

• If you are selected for a position at State Farm, you may be subject to a drug screen (US only) and background check.  If all come back with acceptable results, we will confirm your offer and work on preparing for your first day with State Farm!
