Ic, since u have a valid visa, it wont be a problem. U can make ur chance greater by opting to work in Malaysia. The pay is lower, of coz, if u dun mind. If u happen to be out of UK by the time they arranged an interview, the only solution is to drop wadever u do n go back to UK. Air travel n all else should be covered by them so no worry. Mind u that most companies wont reschedule interview unless they are looking for highly experienced n rare talents. The question is "are u one of them?".

Roughly it would take months to complete the selection process. Since ur phone interview is on April, safe to say u wont be called right away for maybe another 2-3 weeks. Baker Hughes would probably wait for the end of the study year, for more potential candidates. So u looking at next selection process around June/July. That's wad they do in Malaysia, at least. There is a chance they follow the same strategy. If they do, though, u would have to wait longer. Keep ur hopes high. I waited for 4-5 months since my phone interview. It is a common practice by lots of o&g companies to filter out under-qualified candidates. One way of avoiding this painful waiting period is to get someone on the inside of HR dept. So called "lobang" can make u hired in less than 2 weeks.

Glad to help

Hi everybody over here! I have just found your forum and defenetly have the same situation - still waiting... after the interviewer`s having called. So what to say. I got my phone interview in late april, the talk accounted for 20 minutes 00 sec=)(with no any minute more or less really=)).

There were some questions alredy mentioned in here such as um.... well.... "would you be so kind to tell us about your strong points and bla bla bla... ; what working place would you select, eather with a lot of money or working conditions and so foth..... (if interesting may tell you about that in detais a bit, if remember =)).

But what i did not like really is that that the line was of the bad quality... That was so much complicated to hear her that i can not even describe. So she also hested somehere, don not know....um.... wheather that was so much complicated to talk a bit louder or sothing .... (i told her about... that she was heard poorly, so she was just like "OK, i will be talking louder" ) But anything was repited once again.....i had to reask her some questions she did not even really spell correctly. I understend English very good but the way she was talkig was like "Hello is there anybody there on the end of the wire hah? =) " I gues she could speak in the way louder a bit... that would have been OK - In respect to my Non American origin though . But the girl defenetly was reading by the paper (that was understood by her fast pace with some sophistigated expressions and qustions . That is why that (the interviewer) did keep the fast reading pace )

So ok ....At the end the interviewer asked me something... I did not hear (which is sad) and then she sad buy an Ok.....

So My questions(with the answers short rather if posible)
1 If i am invited to the second tour interview? what shoul i expect mmm? (applied as a Junior Fied Engineer) For instanse the math test or just a talk ah?
2 How much to wait?(Found withing trhis forum somethoing like a 6 month period - which is daaaaaamn( ((()

@Harlem: first and foremost, i gotta say i had a hard time reading ur post. no offense intended, mate. u better brush up on ur english or use it properly. coz if u are selected for next round interview, they would look at ur english proficiency, written or oral. so take some extra care on that.

answers to ur questions:
1. u should revise on wadever u have learned in university. make sure u noe quite well the basics of every modules u learned. they may benefit u in many ways later. u dun have to master all of them to the extent that u noe them by heart. just the basics will do fine. there are some tests, commonly known as aptitude tests. try them online or buy a book to noe roughly wad to expect on these tests. practice makes perfect.
2. waiting time differs from one another as u have read here. some people get a month but most wait more than that. i cant really give an exact date but be prepared to wait for that long.

there is an easy way to find out whether or not u are selected for the next round. within this coming 2 weeks to 6 weeks, if there is no email, no status update on ur online application or no phone call saying that u are rejected, u are most likely on their shortlist. once u are in that shortlist, ur chances of getting through are high. if u dun hear from baker after 6 weeks or so, u can write to them asking about ur applications. the main point is "no news is good news". as long as they dun say u are out, u still have a chance to be selected. simple as that.

since there gotta be a long waiting period, u can research on interview questions. get prepared as early as possible. u may also want to research on baker. wad they do, who they are, their aims n etc.

Sorry for the first time). I was hurrying a little bit trying to express anything i remembered then. Oh.. but still stay dessapointed with the bad phone link(. And that is not groundless because have some experience of talking with the other representative who was clearly heard and in a good way.
Honestly saying i expext some tests like in Sclumberger (I `ve been waiting for the reply from them also ) and would you be so kind to tell me (if you know of course) whether these tests may be the same or not? You seem to me to have already passed all the interviews no? So well you know about hiring. Sorry in advance if i am wrong .


And thank You once again for such a detailed explaination. I will take your notes and do my best in the way you recomended. Anyway they have not called yet so there is a little hope that they will reply later At least i am not alone which makes me feel ok with all you guys.

And the last . I understend this forum is BH devoted but if someone has heard something about Gyrodata called service company please also share with me if not difficult. Want to try this option too. There are some discussions about companyes mentioned abobe in our country as well but not as good as here. Nice to see the alive forum

Criticize me please (that is wellcome all time) and i will improve my English faster with your help as i want to be a good engineer, no metter how innocent this may sound)

I had a phone Interview 2 weeks ago with baker huges but I haven't got any reply until now and my status in their web site didn't change .
Can any one tell me if this is mean that i failed or I have to wait more ?


thanks in advance

Dear buddy,
Just wish to ask dat usually after the phone interview, how long it takes to know the result?
If fail the interview, how long will it takes for us to know the outcome?
i jus went through the interview last Monday.
Hence, wish to know usually when wil i able to track de result.
Anyone of u ord went for the 2nd interview? how is it?
Is anyone from here currently work at BH?
Thank you.

hey simple person~
when did u apply? how long it took before bh respond to ur application?

Hi Kenzo,
I applied on middle of May.
It takes about 1 month for BH to respond my application.
Meanwhile, anyone from BH or ord attended for 2nd interview?
Thank you.

Rgds,
Simple person

Now also waiting whether i have been succeseful with BH 1 recruitment interview or not. There are not any results still. But as some of this forum recomended me, expecting may take for too long (up to several months). When there is the free time(if it is)i would suggest not concentrating your attention on this company only and keeping on searching for some other profitable options...

It is badly when do not khow how to check out the 1st phone interview results. Well maybe to call or write them? Any ideas?
Some say that if they have not replied to you earlier that your condidature (for examle) is not appropriate, there is the chance that you will be invited to the second tour interview. But according to my experience (i am talking about not BH) it is not often so. Not calling may be not being succeseful within the 1st inerview=(


Once againg asking people aware - maybe to show initiative on my own and send an email???

Hi Harlem,

When was ur phone interview? and when did you apply on the web site?

I have just received a reply from BH. Base on what they stated, there is no opening at Malaysia branch yet.
Hence, kindly be patient and you may reapply on year 2011.
Thank you.

The right answer is to analize first and only after to repair it, like this the costs will be lower. You must see why it happen that, that will not happen' again. I said also firts reparing and to analize in the same time, but was wrong. I spoke with somebody who is working in this industry.

that does make sense.investigate first to avoid any error/miscalculation when trying to/after fix it.
