I arrived early for the interview and noticed that people who arrived before me had already been asked several questions. It turns out that since the beginning of the year I had been pursuing this position and the big day had finally arrived to join this great state university.

Behavioral Technical Case
It was a pretty informal interview. I went to their local office and met with the regional VP, a principal engineer, and a principal geologist. They started with general questions about me and how I'd be a good fit. Then, they gave me a real-world geotechnical/geologist problem, like one from a previous project, and asked how I'd tackle it. After that, we talked about my expected salary, my graduate research, and some other interesting things.

Group Behavioral Technical
The selection process started with a group discussion. The topic for the GD was quite simple, like love marriage versus arranged marriage. They mainly wanted to see how we could speak in public; grammar and pronunciation didn't really matter. Then there was an interview by Navy personnel about yourself and GK.
