I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dow (Pearland, TX) in Mar 2011
Interview
The interview process began with an application online. Received a phone call from a lady in HR and was asked standard behavioral questions such as describe a time when you had to face a difficult situation, how did you handle it and what were the results. This was followed by some general questions such as why Dow, team leadership qualities etc...I was told that I would be contacted in a month, it has almost been a month, sent some inquiry emails and have not heard from them yet.

Question 1
Describe a time you had a difficult situation, how did you handle it and what were the results
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dow (Plaquemine, LA)
Interview
Mechanical engineering student here. Basic STAR behavioral interview. I recommend reading through Dow’s company values and emphasizing them during your interview. After the STAR questions, the interviewer showed me a diagram with a tank, some piping, supports, material info, etc and asked how I would troubleshoot a leak.

Question 1
Basically like “tell me about a time when you worked with a difficult team member, how did you resolve the issue?” STAR questions
Average for a student interview from a career fair, the panel was nice and asked reasonable and relevant questions. Pervious work experience was a major plus, primarily looking for rising Juniors or current sophomores.
Got selected for interview 3 weeks after applying. Interview was through webex with a panel. Was hard to interact with the 4 people since they all sat around a table and you couldn't make out their features. They were hiring for 3 positions so first each person went through theirs then they welcomed questions.
