Very simple process, 1:1 interview on campus, then they flew me out to Bakersfield and showed a group of potential hires around for the day. There was a time of another 1:1 interview, only about 20 minutes, then that was it. The offer came about 1.5 weeks later.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Caldwell, TX (took 2 months)

The interview process was very laid back as if they knew who they were going to hire already. The first day you sit in a hotel through several presentations and videos based on your area of work. Then you go out to dinner for the remainder of the evening. The next morning everyone heads out to the shop site where you will look at most of the tools that you will be working with out in the field. During this time REMEMBER TO PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY KEY TOOL THAT THEY SPEAK ABOUT....THEY WILL ASK RANDOM BUT USEFUL QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THESE TOOLS. Also, ASK QUESTIONS...there's no such thing as a dumb question. Then you will proceed to the final interview process with one of the area managers. The interview should last anywhere from 15-20 minutes and there maybe some off-the-wall, but useful once again, technical questions that they will ask you as well. Overall, if you know how to speak well and your willing to communicate with others and ASK QUESTIONS you'll have the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 2 days)

The initial interview took place at a career fair. The representatives were very friendly and open to talk about the opportunities with their company. During the interview, the HR Representative was very friendly, honest and told me that this job is very demanding and usually work is done in harsh conditions and long hours. This interview lasted about 30-45 mins. All of the questions were behavioral.

Afterwards, I received an email stating that I was selected to advance to the second round of the interview process. A questionnaire had to be filled out prior to proceeding to the next step. Typical questions were as follow:

What are your top 3 Product Service Lines (PSLs)?
What are your top 3 geographical locations desired?

There were more questions but they are not difficult.

Second Interview - Day 1 (ASK QUESTIONS)
My flight OKC was taken care of by Halliburton. This process was two days. As soon as your Halliburton Representative pick you up the interview process has begun. I sat through a series of presentations about the company and wireline and perforating (open and cased hole logging). They are very informing and interesting presentations. I had a great representative, he was very knowledgeable and able to breakdown the process. If your not familiar with this type of work, it will seem like a lot of information is thrown at you at once. They emphasis that the job is VERY DEMANDING. Afterwards, we all went out to dinner courtesy of yours truly (Halliburton). You are still being interviewed during this stage.

Day 2 (ASK QUESTIONS)
Woke up early and had two more presentations to go over (Benefits and Compensation). After, we went out to the Shop where all of the tools and trucks are stored. This will be your introduction to the tools and what they actually do at the shop. We went to lunch with some of the Field Professionals and had the chance to ask them about their experiences. Very friendly people and honest about their experiences. We then returned to the shop where we had one on one interviews.

After the last interview, the trip is over and time to return home.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Casper, WY (took 2 weeks)

I interviewed on campus and the interviewers were very friendly. They weren't HR and were field engineers doing the interviews. After the interview on campus I heard within a week that I had a second round interview in Brighton, CO. That interview was terribly unorganized. Several of us flew in at the same time, there was no transportation organized for us, just a suggested shuttle service to use. When we arrived at the hotel the interviewers were late and sloppy. They were eating sandwiches while giving a presentation we had already seen on campus during information sessions. After the presentation they asked us where we wanted to eat and didn't have it planned. Of course none of us knew where to go because we'd never been there.

The next morning we woke up early and went to a frac job, this was the most valuable experience of the interview. After that we went back to Halliburton's local camp for an interview, they lasted longer than expected and several people missed their flights home.

First I was given an interview at the career fair. one on one lasted about 1.5 hours, I was given an on-site interview, went to it. It was a couple days. They basically tell you how bad the job sucks but how much money you can make by these job ticket bonuses...It actually wasn't really that much considering the amount of work needed.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Carrollton, TX (took a day)

Very casual for a professional interview. Two interviewers alternates in asking questions, one male and one female, which added a good contrast for me. I was sitting sort of between them in a triangle fashion, so I could easily talk directly to each one. The questions were more open concept, which made the interview more of an open discussion between myself and the interviewers. Prior to the interview, the company held an information session to discuss the program for which I was interviewing for. This was also more of a discussion type format which allowed for open questioning and comments about the program.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 days)

Contacted me immediately after the first round interview and had a questionnaire for me to fill out about their PSL's. Soon after I set a date and they flew me out. Brought me to Denver, gave presentation, went over PSL's, went to job location. Fed me along the way. The entire time you are there you are being interviewed. The reps are always watching you and seeing if you'll be a good fit. I found the best thing to do was ask a lot of questions and stay engaged. The process is very informative and they throw a lot of information at you. Make sure you pay attention. They will probably ask you specific questions later on in the one on one interview about the technical side of things. Other than that you should try and be as relaxed and comfortable as you can be. Overall I found this a positive experience.
