How did you adapt in a situation were they suddenly changed your plans?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Nov 2016
Interview
It wasn't anything too hard and this was for their site in Illinois. The whole process took around a month. An hour phone interview with two people who were very pleasant and easy-going. You have to follow the STAR format. All the questions were based on experiences I had and how I handled them. Don't get discouraged if they don't answer or say anything right away, they like to take notes and make sure they have everything down. They took back the offer they made to me because my overall GPA wasn't a 3.0 even though my major GPA was very high, which was reasonable in my opinion. Make sure all that is in order before applying.
