Communication Manager at BP

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Apr 2012 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2012

Interview Details – I was hired as a contractor with the possibility of becoming a BP employee. Initial interview was by phone from London with the person who would be my supervisor. She was impressed with my resume and most of the conversation seemed more designed to determine the fit with my personality and style than my skills. Second interview, 1:1, was similar in scope. I received very few challenging questions.

Interview Question – How do you think you can help us?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate over the contract; will do so if/when an offer follows to become an employee.

BP Challenger; Chemical Engineering at BP

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Anchorage, AK Feb 2012 – Reviewed Mar 31, 2012

Interview Details – Applied on the website. Got a call from HR for a phone screening 3 hours after applying online; took 30 minutes. Basically went over my resume and asked what I was interested in. Got an email a week later saying i was accepted for the first interview, which was all behavioral questions. The first interview was with two people (one hiring manager who is a senior engineer and a BP Challenger program coordinator). The first interview lasted an hour and was a phone interview. Got a call the next day saying I was accepted for a second interview which would be all technical related questions and would be flown to Anchorage, AK for it. Two weeks later I flew there. The technical interview was for 45 minutes and then 45 minutes of questions I had for them (basically a discussion). The technical interview was with two people both engineers. They try to make as you as relaxed as possible and are basically looking for your thought process. Overall found the people very friendly, and the work environment was very relaxed.

Interview Question – How would you separate something?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – No negotiations needed. They made an offer i could not refuse; although I really considered declining it for personal reasons. Amazing offer.
