Pardon the influx of posts, but this was kinda funny..

I had an interview earlier this afternoon at a different insurance company that was bizarre..

The first person (to whom I would report directly) couldn't find the conference room so we went up and down elevators for 15 minutes, then to her cube where she e-mailed the other interviewers to update them on the situation. After she found it, I only had about 10 minutes with her, and she clearly had not read my resume.

The second interviewer gave me some behavioral test and he seemed offended that I fell into the "controlling/supportive" quadrants. Isn't that what you want from a leader?

The third person had not read my resume either, and spent most of the time asking how I would prioritize requests from upper management and how I felt in a politically tense situation.

Besides the fact that I am overqualified and would be bored and most likely getting into trouble because I don't brown-nose well I don't think I'll be taking this job even if they call me back. What a mess!!!

(Or maybe I am too critical? Controlling? )??

This was all for the same interview? Shocked I've never talked to more than 2 people during 1 interview.

at least you know you would not like it and it would be a problem right away.

Akern - at least they weren't all at once!! The worst EVAH are the "panel"of interviewers vs. the panel of interviewees. It's like a catfight with suits!!

joe - true. I don't deal well with the corporate politic side of things. I think regardless I blew it when I said I would give the same priority to an co-worker's and a senior vp's request for assistance....
