How much time does it take?

Five to 15 minutes. You’ll be asked a few questions for us to better get to know you.

What information do you need?

You’ll upload your resume, add contact information, include your college GPA and answer some questions about past employment experiences.

What happens after I apply?

If you meet the minimum requirements for the position, your application is sent to a recruiter.

When will I be contacted?

You’ll immediately receive an email confirming we have your application. If the recruiter decides you’re a strong job candidate, you’ll be contacted for additional information or to schedule an interview.

How should I prepare?

First-round interviews are held virtually and last 30 to 45 minutes. We focus on your previous experience, skills and qualifications and why you think you might be an asset to Cargill.

Who conducts the interview?

You might be interviewed by recruiters, hiring managers or employees who are university alumni or leaders.

What should I be prepared to share?

Have an extra copy of your resume, an unofficial transcript and examples of your college work including projects and presentations ready to share.

What should I wear?

Dressing in business professional attire from head to toe will help you make a great first impression. You may want to test out a few options in front of your background prior to your scheduled interview to make sure your clothing looks good on camera. As a general rule, solid colors work best. If possible, avoid garments with busy patterns.

Will there be a second interview?

Applicants for full-time positions are invited to a second round of interviews during our virtual Talent Days. You’ll meet with various leaders, learn about our facilities and hear what our work environment is like firsthand.

What virtual meeting platform does Cargill use?

Your virtual interview will take place via Skype or Microsoft Teams. Someone will inform you which platform you will be using when your interview is scheduled. If you’re unfamiliar with these platforms, please take a few moments to learn more about Microsoft Teams or Skype prior to your virtual interview. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to your meeting organizer for support.

Will I be interviewing with someone in real-time?

Our teams conduct two types of virtual interviews, Live Video and Recorded.

How should I prepare for my virtual interview?

Treat your virtual interview as seriously as you would any other interview. Know the qualifications of the job you’re interviewing for, articulate your skills and prepare questions you may have about the job or Cargill.

Any helpful tips for my virtual interview?

There a few easy things you can do that can make a huge difference in your interview:

• Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted.
• Choose a simple background with a little bit of depth, not just a blank wall behind you.
• Ensure your light source is coming from in front of you; if there is a window behind you letting in a lot of light, it makes you harder to see.
• Test your connection, camera, microphone and speakers. Closing non-relevant browser tabs and applications will help stabilize your connection.
• Speak slowly and clearly – there may be a slight delay in audio.
• Look at the camera, not your notes.
• Plan your outfit. It may help to test out a few options in front of the background you’ll be using to make sure you look and feel your best.

When will I find out?

• For internships and co-ops, we extend offers within one to two weeks after the first interview.
• For full-time positions, we extend offers within one to two weeks after the second interview.

College transcript:

For full-time employment, we ask you to provide a final college transcript within 60 days of your start date.
