I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips (Houston, TX)
Interview
Behavior-based ("tell me about a time when...") interview questions are used. Prepare answers by reviewing the job description for specific behaviors required (i.e. collaboration, decision-making, conflict resolution, etc.) and prepare specific examples and outcomes to share.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ConocoPhillips
Interview
Interview process was very professional. Three different people sat down with me at separate times and talked to me about the position. They were friendly and acted like they were happy to have me there, unlike other companies who act like interviews are a burden.
