Project Coordinator at Halliburton
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Oct 2012 – Reviewed May 18, 2013
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.
