Why do you want to work for Chevron? Is there a time you went above and beyond for a customer?

Followed the STAR method and asked questions related to leadership, mechanical ability and quantitative ability. For example, Please describe an instance where you successfully led a group of people on a project/job task. Could you describe a situation where you had to solve a mechanical problem related to your work? Could you describe a situation where you had to calculate or use your quantitative reasoning to solve a problem out in the field? They asked what made me apply to Chevron? How did I get interested in the industry? What are the main reasons I want to be a Chevron employee? They also asked if I had any questions about them. I asked the recruiter about their job experience and assignments as well as what brought them to Chevron. I always like turning the questions around and seeing how well they present themselves. This provided a good break from the stressful interview process.

I described situations in my work how I led a group or solved issues related to the job such as fixing a part in the manufacturing process where I worked previously. I explained my passion for oil and gas and how my family had worked in oil and gas for generations. I also talked about the reviews and advice I received from family who had also worked for Chevron or were still working for Chevron. Each question had to be answered using the STAR method. I was definitely glad I knew what the STAR method of interviewing was or else it would have been quite an embarrassing situation. Less
