What to Expect on Caterpillar’s Interview

The Caterpillar interview process may include more than one type of interview, with the initial screening interview taking place over the phone. After the screening interview and assessment tests, you may be invited by Caterpillar to participate in a face-to-face interview which may be held either in a one-on-one setting or in a panel/ group. Each interview will allow you to expand upon your resume and to highlight why you feel that you will be the right fit for Caterpillar and the job description.

How is the Aptitude Test Scored?

The Aptitude Test is a more sophisticated alternative to existing methods of pre-employment assessments and usually administrated together with a phone and face-to-face interview. This test is designed to evaluate job candidates’ various cognitive abilities, ranging from the numerical reasoning to the verbal comprehension. The Situational Judgement Aptitude Test tries to analyze job candidates’ reactions to different situations usually occurring in workplaces. To predict applicants’ future performance at work even more exactly, the Aptitude Test uses a relative scoring method. That is, it is not important how many questions on the test you answered correctly, since your score will be evaluated relatively to the score of other candidates. This comparative method allows employers to choose the best employee from the applicant pool. For job applicants, however, this method carries obvious disadvantages. For even if your score is objectively high, it may still be not good enough, if compared to the higher scores of others. Because of such scoring method, it is of paramount importance to receive the best scores on the Aptitude Test. You can get them only if you practice for your test in advance. Purchase our top-notch resources and pass the Aptitude Test with ease and confidence.

Can I Use the Calculator on the Numerical Test?

As a rule, calculators are not permitted on the Numerical Tests, because they evaluate precisely how well you can calculate and analyze numerical data without calculating devices. On all Numerical Tests, however, you can use a rough sheet of paper and a pencil to make your calculations.

What to Avoid at the Face-To-Face Interview?

When you arrive to the face-to-face interview, do your best to be punctual. You do not want to keep interviewers waiting for you and, in so doing, antagonize them, even before you start answering questions. You may also need to have few minutes before the interview to collect your thoughts. Always remember the names of your interviewers. When you are called for the second round of the interview process, you will score more points, if you remember names of the people who interviewed you before. During the interview, try to stay cool under all provocations. Interviewers may challenge your answers only to see how you behave under pressure. You will strengthen a good impression you are making on the recruiters, if you avoid being confrontational in response to their attack. Do not lie. You may do yourself a huge disservice, if you tell tall tales on the interview. Instead of benefitting you, lies may cost you a job offer.
