Property & casualty and life agent figures are national job-board averages (ZipRecruiter), not a BLS government survey — the BLS doesn't break its "Insurance Sales Agents" category out by line of business. Independent and catastrophe adjusters are also paid differently than salaried staff roles — see our full breakdown in How Much Does an Insurance Adjuster Make in Oklahoma? and Catastrophe (Storm) Adjusting in Oklahoma.

Common Insurance Interview Questions
A few of the questions you're likely to hear, free — the full guide alongside this section covers 30+ questions across producer and adjuster roles.
“Walk me through your licensing background.”
State your exact license(s), lines of authority, and state(s) precisely — vague answers here read as unprepared.
“Why insurance, and why this company?”
Give a real, specific reason, not "I like helping people" — every candidate says that, and it doesn't distinguish you.
“How do you handle a high-volume workload / caseload?”
Describe your actual prioritization system and a real example of a time volume spiked without things slipping.
“Tell me about a time you had to deliver bad news to a client or policyholder.”
Use Situation-Task-Action-Result. Show you delivered the news directly and early, with a clear reason.
