I recently interviewed for a Summer 2027 role and it went well. I was under the impression that it was only one round and then received a follow up email for another “interview” with a hiring manager/team lead. This “interview” ended up being mostly me asking about the team and their work. I followed up with HR about timeline/steps and was told “I’m fully planning on extending you an offer” but they are trying to find the right HM and team. I was then scheduled for another “interview” with a different team lead. What are the odds the verbal “offer” won’t transfer to a real one? I’m slightly on edge due to miscommunication during the process.

Hi all, I am a Civil Engineering student about to start my sophomore year and was selected to interview for a Caterpillar Manufacturing Intern role (slightly outside my field). I know Caterpillar is open about their STAR Interview process so I wanted to know if anyone has gone through this process before (whether with Caterpillar or another employer), whether for a full-time position or an intern role? Additionally, how should I try to make myself stand out as a candidate who isn't fully "qualified" on paper (the role is mainly targeted at MechE)?

Please lmk if any other info would help y'all answer these questions. Thanks

I am aware Caterpillar is open about their STAR Interview process, but was wondering if my different background would change the typical common STAR type questions? Additionally, how should I try to make myself stand out as a candidate who isn't fully "qualified" on paper (the role is mainly targeted at MechE)?
