I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cargill (New Delhi) in Feb 2008
Interview
It was a Campus Interview, had two shortlisting group processes. And then 2 Panel Interviews. 4-6 panelists, very warm and not at all old school.
They were looking for somebody who understood, life of a trader rather than the technicality of the business. Also judge a person on 3 counts
- Ability to think on feet and turn around the tables
- How much pressure does a person take in their life/ or tends overcommits - they are not looking for a workaholic
- Problem solving ability (this is the screening in the group process)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you drink your alcohol in one gulp or take your time? (from a female interviewer)
