I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Valero (Lubbock, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
I met with an engineer from a local refinery. He looked through a copy of my resume that he had on file and asked me about my listed work experience and my 2nd degree student status. He also asked 4 or 5 typical behavioral interview questions. This meeting took about 45 minutes. I also met with an HR representative who showed me a company promotional video and answered questions for about 10 minutes in a separate office, after the initial interview.

Question 1
Talk about the classes you enjoyed the most, and disliked the most.
They were all behavioral based questions. In my interview at school they had two recruiters interviewing me. I got the interview after talking to them at the career fair. They were nice guys and it was a good interview. Just make sure you have a bunch of stories or experiences prepared to share that you can apply to any question that they may ask.
