I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chevron (Picayune, MS) in July 2011
Interview
Someone from Chevron HRs in San Francisco called me for an interview for the business analyst position in Mississippi. She scheduled a panel interview for me at the Chevron Facility in Picayune; MS. Everything was nice and efficient. The one hour long interview was mostly "tell me about a situation" type.
At the end of the interview the facility manager asked me to contact him if I don't hear anything back from them in two weeks.
I called and left a message after two weeks. Didn't hear anything. After waiting another weeks I sent an email to the facility manager. No response.
Today, after five weeks from the interview, I contacted to the HRs lady in San Francisco and learned that they hired an internal candidate.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me about a difficult situation in your career and how you managed it?
3 rounds, 2-3 interviews each round. Blend of finance, accounting, and Commercial acumen. Will ask you standard behavioral questions as well. “Tell me about a time…”
No trick questions; pretty straightforward.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chevron (Houston, TX)
Interview
Started with a building tour of the downtown Houston location after checking in with security. Did not have to wait long to meet with liaison.
A large room full of people. Largest panel for an interview I've ever encountered. At least 8 people which was very intimidating.
Discussed my experience and resume first. People took notes. Then the first panel speaker presented a work scenario. Others chimed in to clarify the scenario and but it was hard to categorize the scenario in order to answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Presented a work scenario and asked what steps I would take to resolve.
The first interview was a phone interview. 2 weeks later, I went in for in-person interview. Questions were straightforward: behavioral, systems I had used previously, career walkthrough, hobbies etc.
