I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Skanska in Feb 2014
Interview
I received an email from the human resources manager notifying me that she wanted to schedule a phone interview. I had participated in the AIC Reno competition, and afterwords there was a career fair so I submitted my resume to the Skanska booth. She asked a few questions about my experience at the competition, like about my role on the team, how my team performed in the competition. In hindsight, I really should have talked more about teamwork (we were pretty great as a team and worked well together) and less about our actual results from the competition. The interview questions are pretty typical, pretty much all traditional and behavioral questions. The interview was over two years ago so I wrote down the questions I remember below.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with someone on a team project and how did you deal with it?
Solid interview, felt like I answered questions well. I would recommend, they wanted to know me as a person and my goals. They want you to do well in the interview.
First interview was definitely more skewered towards questions about your personality. Overall experience wasn't bad, but I was mentally prepared to be asked about my qualifications rather than my character. The interviewers were nice and definitely helped the whole conversation be less nerve-wracking.

Question 1
What was your favorite course? Why did you choose civil engineering as your major?
Very great and simple and straightforward. The interviewer was very polite and me feel comfortable during the interview. There was no pressure during the interview whatsoever. The interview was also very quick and i was also told right then and there if I received the internship.
