      Accounting Interview

      29 May 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Mar 2011

      Interview

      I was accepted for an interview after having applied online for an internship position. The interview consisted of two 1 on 1 half hour interviews back to back. Every question they asked were basic behavioral questions like "tell me a time when you failed, and how did you respond" which are not that difficult if you do a little preparation beforehand, and review your own recent experiences. However, some questions you might not have specific examples for which is okay, but they just want to see how you can handle yourself in that situation. I was asked maybe a total of 8 behavioral questions, a couple of which I didn't have specific examples for, and was given time to ask my own questions.
