Project Coordinator at Halliburton

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Oct 2012 – Reviewed May 18, 2013 New

Interview Details Hiring is a straight forward process, you may be asked to sit a small mathematics exam but nothing too serious.. Relaxing Interview process. Get your CV's out to as many companies as you can find, its a numbers game. You may find that your CV arrives on the HR desk the same day that they are looking for someone. Dont worry about Interviews, the person or persons sitting on the other side of the desk are not only human themselves but they one day, maybe along time ago were sitting exactly where you are now. Talk to them like human beings and always be yourself and let your personality shine through. Mention as many times that you are hard working and willing to learn new skill sets.You dont mind travelling and are willing to relocate if that is what the job entails.

Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – You get what you negotiate not what you deserve.

Field Engineer at Halliburton

No Offer – Interviewed in Johor Bahru (Malaysia) Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013

Interview Details Halliburton came to my university as there was a career day with the students. So, all the students from specific faculties are invited to attend the talk. Right after the talk, there were 2 test conducted, IQ test and also technical test. Both tests were multiple choice question. After that, the HR took some time to review all those tests and the shortlisted candidate were announced. There were 30 of us. Hence, the next day was the interview session with with the HR which lasted for around 20 minutes. I will be informed later whether I was successful to get through that stage. I am still waiting for the call for next stage which will be an interview with the line manager. I was informed that my CV was placed in Halliburton talent bank and will be contacted any time soon.

Interview Question – There were no difficult question with the HR. All the questions were based on the CV and curricular activities and also on how u handle some difficult times.   Answer Question

Field Engineer at Halliburton

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Bandung, West Java (Indonesia) Jan 2013 – Reviewed Apr 24, 2013

Interview Details Worst hiring process I've ever encountered. The process is held outside the city where I live. The first day consists of aptitude test, english test, and FGD. After that they scheduled an interview section. The worst part is they keep changing the interview schedule without giving any living stipend. My interview is delayed for about 3 days for unknown reason. There's only two interview (the HR and user interview). The user interview is fine, but the HR one is very bad. It's not engaging at all.

Interview Question – Only standard questions like do you have any experience as leader, do you know about oil exploration etc   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – I hate how they treat the candidate during the selection process, not to mention the very bad HR.
