College Name: IIT KANPUR
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The resume should not exceed two pages according to placement norms so I had to make sure that I write down all my extra-curricular and my academic achievements in a compact manner to ensure that all of them fit in my resume. There were 11 extra-curricular activities that I managed to pen down. I used only one resume in all the companies only changed my areas of interest to make them compatible with the profile on offer. I also mentioned about my projects and internships.
Tips: A person may have diverse areas of interest but he has to ensure that not all should be mentioned in any company. Only a select few areas of interest, which are simpatico with the profile, have to be mentioned in the resume. You cannot mention structural engineering as an area of interest in while applying in a company like Oracle.
Round: Stress Interview
Experience: I felt the interview was a stress interview. The questions asked in the interviews were:
Which is the one moment of your life that you would never like to be reminded of?What is that part of your life that you would want to permanently discard?The focus was mainly on to test the confidence of the person under pressure situation and not his technical knowledge.
The interviewers also asked me to speak what I knew about Schlumberger. This is where I believe I made a terrible blunder. Firstly, Schlumberger had come to the campus to recruit on the very first day of the recruitment season hence there was not a lot of time left for company research and secondly, I did not believe that my resume could get shortlisted in the very first place, thus I did not find it necessary to do the company research.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Schlumberger recruits mainly for the post of Field Engineer. They require people who have worked in a team and have very good communication skills. They want people with dynamic personalities and those who can easily adjust in any environment. Also the profile required the Field Engineer to be on rigs and off shore for most periods.Schlumberger shortlisted certain candidates. This process was carried out based on the resume. I don’t know the criteria on which the shortlist was prepared; CGPA certainly wasn’t the sole criterion considering that I had average CGPA but still made it to the shortlist.
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The resume that I used while applying in different companies was nearly the same, however I did incorporate certain changes in areas of interest and the projects to make them more compatible with the profile of the company in which I was applying for; for instance while applying in Schlumberger I highlighted some of the technical projects.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was the last person to be interviewed, thus the interviewer was tired. He firstly asked me to talk about myself. Then he asked me to mention some quality that differentiates me form the rest and about which i had not mentioned in my resume. I told him about my second year internship which i did under a professor who got so impressed with my work that he turned up the following year in the institute to hire some research scholars.
After this question a foreign official of the company came to accompany the lone Indian interviewer.
He asked some questions like ‘What is the official website of Schlumberger?’ and when was the last time I had visited the website?
Next the interviewer asked me to specify an incident when I had to make a tough decision. I narrated a situation that I faced while I was the chairperson of SAE (a department level student body). Being the chairperson I had to cut short the team going into next year’s tournament in spite of the fact that everyone had done a good job that particular year.
Then he started asking about SAE’s activities. Lastly, he asked me to talk about my dream job. I told him that my dream job is the project that i was dealing with back then, this job involved leading a team.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms. Resume is one of the most important parts in placement preparation. A student should dedicate at least 3-4 days for resume preparation. I specifically highlighted my extracurricular with facts and figures and tried to write about my projects in short as my technical knowledge was poor. I used to change my “Area of Interests” as well as subjects studied according to the company. I tried to write those field as my interests in which I had thorough knowledge. Schlumberger looks for people with all round performance and specially if you are into sports its a added advantage.
Tips: Try to include details about your achievements in sports.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The final round was an interview. There were two interviewers, one was an IIT Roorkee alumni and other was a senior personnel from one of their foreign offices. They were trying to make it a stress interview. I remained very cheerful throughout the interview and this helped me a lot I guess.
The first question was regarding my look (I keep a bald head). I defended it by saying that I am confident and hence I like it. After hearing that I am from Bhopal, they gave me a virtual situation to answer. They asked me what I would do if I am posted in Sudan and the Sudanese people hate Indians. Additionally I had to keep in mind that I am just a six month old recruit in Schlumberger and there are around eight senior employees who are from Sudan. My first response to such a situation was that I would ask for a replacement. He laughed at me and told me that it is not a solution. Then I explained to him that I would try to make my fellow workers understand that may be Indians are good at something and it is because of this we are called for such jobs. I also told him that I would tell them about our history and that we Indians are a very peaceful race and haven’t had wars for thousands of years. He then asked me if I was trying to project that Indians are superior to other races to which I replied no. I said that we are first humans and then citizens of some country and because of the upbringing we may be good at something while others may be better at something else. I said the same thing in different ways twice or thrice, so the Indian guy interrupted me and asked whether I have a habit of speaking too much. To this I said that yes and also told him that this might be because I am a bit stressed out. He literally shouted that I am boring as hell but I was still laughing.
He then moved on to my resume and asked me about my intern in detail and also asked me about my extracurricular activities. On hearing about all this he said that I look like a guy who would go for an MBA and leave Schlumberger within a period of 2 years. I responded that I had never had such thoughts and I would like to experience industry culture for few years. He also asked where I see myself in five years to which I gave a lucid and simple reply.
The foreigner asked that being an Indian I would be strongly attached to my family and asked would my father have any issues if I go outside. The Indian asked whether I had a girlfriend and would she have a problem if I was to go out. To all this I replied that they would have a problem initially but they are all educated individuals and they know that it is part and parcel of professional life to move out of a place/country and eventually they would be able to adjust accordingly.The interview concluded with me asking few questions related to profile and Schlumberger culture.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Many of my seniors work at Schlumberger. They were the main source of information about the company and the kind of work there.
