Behavioral
You'll use the STAR method for behavioral questions. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Basically, for every behavioral question, structure your answer like this: First, describe the situation. Then, focus on the specific task you needed to complete and any skills you used, like problem-solving. Next, talk about the action you took to get that task done. Finally, describe the result that happened because of your action.

Behavioral Technical
It was an on-campus interview for new college hires. The interviewers were polite and communicated expectations clearly. It was just me and two representatives, and the vibe was chill. The interview mainly used the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). This is a pretty standard interviewing technique that works well if you have the kind of experience they're looking for. It focuses on concrete examples of your past actions, not what you would do hypothetically. They mentioned this format beforehand, but it seemed like they'd cover a lot of ground, from technical accomplishments to personal and leadership skills. The whole interview was really heavy on leadership. I didn't get asked about solving technical problems; instead, we spent about an hour discussing how to handle people issues, both in terms of everyday interactions and leadership during difficult times. This probably gives a good idea of what's expected of an entry-level Process Engineer at Chevron. My advice is to frame your stories around experiences where you showed leadership within a hierarchy. I didn't have many situations where I was directly in charge, so I focused on collaborative experiences. I'm not sure if they didn't like that approach or just didn't vibe with me, but it didn't lead to an offer.

Behavioral Technical
It felt like too many people were involved and there was some favoritism going on. Sometimes, interviews seemed to be happening just to give a leg up to someone they already favored. It wasn't really driven by recruiters, mostly handled by the hiring manager.
