SMART questions. Tell me about a time. Paint the picture beginning to end. Recruiter interview and then highering manager interview. Resentation of 6 month plan written in 30 day increments-be prepared to elaborate and execute accordingly.

I was contacted my an Internal UnitedHealth Group recruiter regarding a position in a new internal "Strategic Initiatives Group (SIG)", which was effectively an internal consulting group. She had my profile and a copy of my application from a job I had applied for a few years earlier, and thought that I would be a good match for the position. We scheduled a phone interview, which lasted for 45 minutes and went very well. She invited me to formally apply for the job and sent me a link to their application system. I spent about 3 hours inputting my updated profile and tweaking my resume. A few weeks later they invited me to 'self identify', which is the normal last step in an online application where optional ethnic/racial info is added to the application. Between being contacted by one of UHG's own internal head-hunters and an excellent initial phone interview, I was now expecting to receive an invite for an onsite interview. A week later my online application status was updated to "no longer under consideration". No contact from the recruiter. No phone call. No email. No explanation. In hindsight it would appear that either the UHG recruiter was clueless as to what the hiring manager was looking for, or the recruiter knew I didn't meet the requirements and was just inconsiderately having me apply to pad her own recruitment stats. Either way, it was a complete waste of my time. What a bunch clueless, inconsiderate, time wasting jerks.
