Probably one of the more bizarre interviews I've ever had. Two team leaders, not supervisors, less than 10 min late, but still late. One very aggressive and the other a smiling potato. "Tell me something you are proud of". I mention my volunteer position with a well known charity. When I begin to describe it, Aggressive interrupts, pounces on my resume and wants to know "If it's that important to you, why isn't it on your resume?" Proceeds to question my "supposed" volunteer position. I let him know that my resume lists my work and education history, my volunteer experience was included in my cover letter. Aggressive snaps "Didn't read it". Potato rather shyly suggests that he should have. I offer the phone number of the charity and am ignored, Aggressive is still talking. Potato smiles, murmurs "that's wonderful" and looks out the window. Aggressive stresses teamwork and asks several questions regarding experience but repeatedly interrupts me mid sentence to reiterate his idea of the ideal team. OK....Potato doodles on my resume. It becomes painfully obvious that these two were enjoying their time away from their desks, although I doubt their supervisors would agree that a game of Good Cop/Bad Cop is an effective way to conduct a professional interview. After 1/2 hour, Aggressive announces, "Well, I think I've asked just about everything I can think of, I could probably find you on Match.com".....Um, no you couldn't. Potato thanks me for coming and I leave with my head spinning. Surreal.

I had a brief phone interview, lasted about 15 minutes. The recruiter asked why I wanted to work at the Hartford. We went over my last 5 years of work history. She explained the role and day to day. I was scheduled for a second interview.
