Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The first round of shortlisting was a resume shortlist in which 24 people were shortlisted.
Tips: Show that you are a unique candidate and that you are both physically and mentally capable of working in harsh conditions.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: We were given about half an hour to prepare for these questions after the initial shortlist was released and we had to present our answers to these three questions to the panel of judges. We had a strict time limit of three minutes and we were stopped if we reached this limit.
Tips: Be confident
Present yourself as a good fit for the company, and give proof for the same

Round: HR Interview
Experience: After the first round of HR interviews, we were again shortlisted and about 10 people were remaining. This round was another HR interview in which different people were asked different types of questions. The majority of questions were as follows:

General ice breakers, questions related to our first round answers
Situational questions. (What would you do if you were in the middle of nowhere and your car broke down? etc.)
Resume related questions (About hands-on projects and internships we have done)
Why Schlumberger?
Why should Schlumberger take you?
etc.

Then there were a set of mandatory questions that everyone was asked:
Are any of your family members in the oil and gas industry?
Are you afraid of the water?
Tips: Again, be confident with your answers. They are looking for thought process more than final answers in the situational questions.
Be thorough with your resume.
Prove that you can adapt to any work conditions.

Skills: Physical Strength, Adaptability, Dynamic Personality, Confidence
