I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Omimex Resources (Fort Worth, TX) in Dec 2010
Interview
Engineers will only interview with other engineers. Land personnel will interview with the V.P. and the geologist or a managing engineer will interview with the owner directly. The do not enjoy looking for new people so if you get the interview they almost always make an offer after the 2nd interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just be quiet and you will get the job if you interview with the V.P. - he loves to talk and hear his own voice.
