baker hughes is still hiring for graduate field specialist or not? i applied for the graduate field specialist since february this year and passed the online interview and english test but got no call or email from baker till now. is there anyone who is in the same situation with me? it stated at the submission status for my application is "interview in progress". did baker freeze all their intake?

can someone who works with baker or who knows about this please help me on this. 

really? so baker freeze all the recruitment all around the world? just want to get a confirmation so that i dont put too much hope on this 
your submission status also stated "interview in progress" right? btw, u still finding a job or secured a job already?

after i completed the test i got no email from them. do i need send them the result of my test? because in that email stated that "We look forward to receiving your assessment results." or they will get my result straight away after i finished my test?

Seriously? I cant understand people nowdays, do you just randomly pluck info from somewhere or make it as you go? Researching about your future doesn't hurt......

Correction 1 - 2017/2018 recession? hard to say, whats your justification? There could even be a recession this year in Asia(technically Malaysia could be entering recession very soon) ---- refer to China - (in Malaysia refer to 1MDB   )
Correction 2 - big asian 1997 crisis fine. 2008! crisis you call mild? really? the effect can still be felt until today!

Like the crazy dude (supersound) who was talking about Libya(the African nation) blaming low oil prices for going bankrupt. Libya is going bankrupt due to oil theft, a civil war, ISIS, kidnapping,bombs......and the list goes on. The last thing that Libya will bankrupt for is low oil prices because their oil production costs are one of the lowest(if you been there you will know why). The country that is still somehow standing and is most affected by oil prices are Venezuela and Russia due to lower margins.

And the problem doesn't end there. Even Natural Gas prices are falling. With Iran's oil pumping full into the market and really demand is not going to rise because face it, vehicles/airplanes are getting more fuel efficient, powerplants are moving to non-hydrocarbon/renewable sources.

The industry will prevail and adjust to whatever the price is.

Like stamp said since this is oil and gas career thread will provide you advice on career, not an expert but speaking from statistics and common sense.

Most resilient sector in the O&G is Production/Maintenance/Operations -------re-skill into this sector because the jobs are still there. Justification - while companies can cut all other budget to save cost P/M&O is their main focus and expenditure for revenue, they might cut headcounts but not as many and they might hire cheaper labor (fresh grads) to replace more expensive ones.

Worst sector Exploration/Drilling -- its just not worth paying so much to drill wells anymore. However if you can re-skill to shale/fracking, whatever people say onshore drilling is still cheaper than offshore drilling and will survive.

Those who are all gloomy about the job markets, well there are lesser jobs now but still many skilled position are hiring internationally. Do not do just one job for all your life. like ch_teo said build different engineering skills and experience.
