Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canadian Natural (Edmonton, AB) in Sept 2014
Interview
You just have to apply online on their website with a cover letter, resume and transcript all in one pdf document. I applied as a co-op student and they do a slight briefing or presentation at the school before all the interviews so that you have all the information about the job and they wont have to go through it with each candidate. The interview is typically 30-40 min long and it will be two people interviewing you. One of them will be an engineer but not necessarily one that you will be working with and the other person will be a HR rep from the campus program.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They generally focus on behavioural questions so nothing really technical. They will ask about your previous work experiences and what you learned there. What things you like about school? Tell me about yourself. Have you ever conflicted with another worker etc.
I applied online and heard back 4 weeks later. The interview was on the phone with one HR employee and one engineer. Basic behavioral, past work experience and project and team work related problems. Lasted about an hour and i was offered the job 2 weeks later. The overall experience was good and I would not stress over this interview. Just be yourself and stay calm. Good luck!

Interview
In person interview with one engineer and one HR representative. I was asked about my decision to choose my major, my interest to work in the oil and gas industry and the rest of the questions were all behavioral where I was asked about what I would do in different scenarios. The interview was very fast and lasted around 25 minutes
