      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (New York, NY) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      I had applied online in the middle of October and heard back about 10 days later asking for my transcripts, on a Friday. Once I sent them, I received notification that I had passed the 3.0 gpa requirement about three days later, on a Monday. In addition, I was told that I would have a phone interview with an accounting consultant and the recruiting manager, on Thursday. Both were super friendly! They were back to back 30 min. each. The recruiting manager told me right then and there ,Thursday, that she will call me tomorrow,Friday, to let me know the decision that will be made after her and the accounting consultant speak. The process from the time I was contacted to the time of notification was exactly one week. Friday-Friday.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Behavioral questions following the STAR interviewing method. I recommend searching what it is and using this method for each behavioral question.
