Declined Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2011 – Reviewed Jul 05, 2011
Interview Details Interview was more in depth than most. Consisted of questions ranging from ethics to leadership, all in a conceptual format. There was nothing really related to the job itself, they just wanted to see how you perform in certain situations and how you can talk. Ended up getting the offer, but not in the office I had gone into the interview expecting.
Interview Question – What is the most difficult situation you have ever succeeded in? Answer Question

Interview Details Applied through the university website, got a call and interviewed with them. They were really friendly and made me feel comfortable. I originally applied for an upstream position but I was interviewed for a downstream position as they did not need an electrical engineering intern in upstream. The interview consisted of general behavioral questions.

Interview Details The hiring process was quite grueling with several rounds of personality testing interspersed with skills testing. This was followed by an in depth background check, a full physical, and a "kinetic ability" test. The company wishes to hire the best, most skilled individuals for any open positions and goes through the trouble to make sure the proper candidates are hired.

Interview Details Applied online and then haven't heard from them for a while. Finally I got an email asking about the availability for a phone interview. I have responded with the date and time and again haven't heard from them until the time I gave them in the email. The interviewees called me without previous confirmation. I was told they would let me know about the outcomes - again, lack of communication... haven't heard from them since then.

Interview Details
Started by sending in my resume/cover letter and then was phoned and told I had an interview within two weeks. nterview was with a panel of three poeple. An HR person, an operator, and another HR contract person. They were very nice and made you feel at ease. Each person took turns asking questions. Some of the questions were: What was your least favorite class while at school? Tell me about a time when you solved a problem at work and how did you solve it? Do you have any experience in working in a group/team setting? How do/did you handle a situation when a member of the group did not pull their share of the work? What would your last supervisor say about you? How would you describe yourself? How do you feel about working overtime?
After each person asked their questions, they asked me if I had any questions. We shook hands and the interview ended. I did not get the offer so take the following advice at your own risk. Make eye contact, be sincere, be yourself but make sure to sell yourself. Ask a few questions at the end of interview if given the chance. That's it and good luck to all.

Interview Details Was taken out to dinner the night before for Tex-Mex. Tried to give my job preferences, but maybe shouldn't have if it limited my options. Most companies want to know what youre interested in, but ConocoPhillips doesnt seem to. I tried to pick locations that were less desirable in order to show how mobile I was, but again, it probably wasnt a great idea.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time you saw something dangerous and what did you do to remedy the situation? View Answer
