      Assistant Engineer Interview

      3 Mar 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Aberdeen, Scotland
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Shell (Aberdeen, Scotland) in Aug 2008

      Interview

      Told to sit and wait one of the interviewers was late- he didn't apologise when he finally arrived but the boss did. 2 on one interview. Routine competency questions and background knowledge checks. One interviewer was extremely rude and abrasive and asked very pointed questions to the extent that I suspected it was a ploy so I played it cool and used my background knowledge to answer questions. It was almost like good cop/ bad cop! This went on for around 45 minutes before both interviewers nodded to each other and the interview ended. I was introduced to the other staff members and driven to the station by the guy who had previously been abrasive and congratulated on getting the job! Culture- laid back.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Some would view your answer regarding the present oil environment as being quite arrogant considering your age, how do you respond to that?

      Question 2

      You don't have any relevant experience at all; why should we employ you?
