Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave me a printout of example seismic data and asked me to interpret the data at free will and identify processing steps applied to the data.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at bp (Fairbanks, AK) in Oct 2014
Interview
The whole process took about 1 month. I applied online during my university recruitment and they called me for an interview in ~1 week.
The interviewers invited us for a meet and greet the night before the interviews. We had appetizers and were able to ask them any questions we had. This was helpful because I got to meet the people that would be interviewing me beforehand.
Pretty standard personality-based interview questions. Had to describe faults, beds, trap styles, regional setting, etc. in a seismic line at the end. That was a bit difficult, but they gave me a couple hints along the way.
I received a call about a month later offering me the position. They gave me a week to decide whether or not to take it.
