I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Occidental Petroleum (Houston, TX) in Sept 2013
Interview
Call in first, Face to face, extremely slow processing time but worth it. Usually more than 2 meeting before they offer you the job. Very casual, open minded conversation,. Lunch with fellow colleges.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Occidental Petroleum (Bakersfield, CA)
Interview
This process wasn't too bad. Can't remember the exact order but all pretty straight forward. Put in application, received a phone call from HR regarding my application and to setup an interview. Went through the interview, had a background check and drug test done. Received a phone call the next day letting me know I was hired (that was fast, I'm assuming they really needed someone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were simple for any computer technician to answer if you've been in the industry. There really wasn't a hard or difficult set of questions if you've been through any interview. Most were technical questions, but the others centered around VIP and customer needs.
