What Is the Hiring Process in the Oil and Gas Industry?
- Submit an online application as well as your CV and a cover letter.
- Complete a telephone interview or record answers to a set of questions in a video interview.
- Go to one of the company's locations for an on-site interview and meet workers on the site. You should prepare for questions that are both behavioral and competency-based.
- Take an aptitude test which examines your numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, and inductive/logical reasoning skills.
- You may also have to take a situational judgment or personality test as well. These tests evaluate your workplace-related behaviors and attitudes in order to determine if you would be a positive addition to the company.
What Assessment Tests Will I Have to Take?
For most positions in the energy industry, you will have to take an aptitude test which measures your cognitive abilities in three different subjects:
- Numerical reasoning: your understanding of tables and your ability to draw conclusions from facts and figures
- Verbal reasoning: your ability to comprehend, synthesize, and evaluate written information
- Logical reasoning: your ability to solve problems and analyze information
You can prepare for any of these tests (and more) using JobTestPrep's Energy Industry Bundle.
