I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at PDVSA (Maracaibo)
Interview
I was referred to the hiring manager by a college fellow student who completed her internship and undergraduate thesis under this manager shortly prior to the 2002 oil strike. I was called to work in two month later, as a temporary staff. Later, after psych technical and background checks, I was hired as a permanent staff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Apart of some technical discussions that would serve to gauge my fitness as an entry level professional, the only question asked that somewhat could have a political undertone was something like "what do you feel about the oil strike?" .
