I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Aurora, IL) in July 2008
Interview
Submit a skills matrix as well as a resume. Be patient, the entire process could take a few months from the initial submission, then phone interview, thorough background check including birth certificate and transcripts of grades. Plan an all day interview process which will include a facility tour, multiple interviews, and drug testing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you disagreed with an order from your superior. What did you do? What was the outcome?
