Question 1
Tell me about yourself, your major. Why do you want to be a part of Bechtel?
It was quick and standard. The questions asked were focused on prior work experience and description of the job. There were a few situational based questions to judge how you would handle particular situations.
Interview with the department head with no further assessment. Discussion around cv and experience. Nothing really technical. Then a tour of the office. It was a good positive experience that resulted in a job offer.
