Halliburton Associate Technical Professional Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – There is an initial interview either over the phone, email or in person. The 2nd round interview is always in person - usually includes a tour of the local facility, a dinner or lunch and takes place anywhere from 2-4 weeks after the initial interview. 2-4 weeks after the 2nd round interview depending on how well you did is when you may get an offer.

Interview Details – They want candidates that desire hands on work and aren't afraid to get dirty. It goes without saying that this isn't a job for everyone, and if you're not willing to put in the hours, get dirty, and work in remote locations, this is not the job for you. If you make it clear that you fit these criteria through the the first interview processes, you have a decent chance of getting to the second interview.

The second interview is onsite as functions more as an tour. You see some of the technology, the office, some current field engineers, and possibly visit a field site. Then, you tell them your choice. Having seen the technology, and the location, do you still want to work for Halliburton? In what product service line are you interested in? Other than that, depending on your panel, you might receive some technical questions. This is really a dummy check more than anything, and if you paid any attention in school you should be able to figure out most of them.

Interview Details – I contacted Halliburton through a campus career fair. They set up a one on one on campus interview that same week. This initial interview was the only real interview. It consisted of about five situational questions and was more like a guided conversation.

After two weeks I was notified that I had been selected for a second round. I am convinced that the job was mine to lose at this point. This interview was more of a wine and dine situation. Our group of interviewees (about 10) were met with a group of Halliburton representatives. They took us out to dinner and basically just wanted to socialize with us. It was by far the most relaxing follow up interview ever. We spent one day watching presentations on several departments that were hiring and at the end of the day we were instructed to write our top three choices. Again, this is a very informal interview used to educate potential candidates about the company. Be polite and have fun.

I left the interview on a thursday and received an offer the following Monday.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation phase. This is an entry position and the package offered was very competitive.

Interview Details – They did a 20 min phone interview with me and asked 5 typical "Tell me about a time..." questions. They got back to me about 2 weeks later and invited me to a 2nd interview in Brighton CO. They flew me out there on a Wednesday morning. Dress was business casual, no tie or coat. We met in the hotel lobby around 3pm and had a PowerPoint presentation of the different product service lines (PSL's). They took us to dinner around 5pm and back to the hotel around 7:30. Thursday morning we met (there were 9 of us) in the lobby at 5am, they took us to breakfast and we headed to a frac job. We had lunch and then back to the training center/field camp and toured the lab. To end it we had the individual "formal" interview where they asked us what we thought and what our preferential PSL and location was. They ask a mind teaser but it's a comfortable environment so I didn't feel stressed. 2 weeks after the 2nd interview they called me and said the interview went well and that they'd email me an offer letter. A few days later I received the offer letter and had a week and a half to reply. The second interview is for the candidate to see what the job is really like and how bad the hours are going to be and then if you're still interested and seem excited about it, they'll likely make you an offer.

Interview Details – Applied through university career site. Attended information session before interview; learned about different PSLs and work environment. Next day had a 1:1 interview with recruiter. All behavioral questions then a chance to ask questions about company. The will type everything you say word for word as you answer the interview questions. Was selected for second interview and flown to Kilgore, TX. Members or management gave another presentation, took us to lunch and dinner, and took us to a job site. No actual interview took place; they just wanted to see what you were like in person. Second interview lasted two days.

Negotiation Details – Did not negotiate.

Interview Details – No formal interview. Just watched a presentation on the position and went out on location to view a job. Mostly a get to know you session.

Interview Details – At first there were an English interview. After that a regular behavior interview and now i'm waiting for the last interview.

Interview Details – First Interview was at a career fair - Typical behavioral questions, looking for someone who can deal with alot of crap and highly stressful environments. If you make it past the first interview you will more than likely be ask to travel to OKC or Denver, where you will be told both how well you will be compensated and how awful the field is. If you travel to OKC/Denver you will receive an offer after you return.

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiations, they send out an email with an offer and give you 72 hours to respond.
