Will be attending my second interview for schlumberger at 130pm.

It's a group project that involves a stack of paper. We are to build a strong platform to hold something.

Would like to ask how to build that platform. Thanks!

Wow...tough question you got there. Any one from oil & gas industry?
Watching tv prog might help. At Astro, got a lot documentaries bout this. Good luck bro, really good and most wanted company to work with.

i think the main objective of the session is to see ur communication skills, like how you interact and cooperate with other team members.

so make sure u speak out and voice out when necessary. passiveness is not an option.

roll the paper together into a big toilet roll something like that, its quite strong!

my friend passed to 4th stage already...they want to see you talk, communicate, work well in group, don't bash your own team mate, and be confident

It's not really the platform per se that they're evaluating.. I say don't worry too much about it. Main hantam kromo pun tak apa.

What they're looking for is your communication skills, how well you work with other team members and your reasoning skills.

My advice is.. during the group activity, be proactive and get involved....if your team mates elect you to be the group leader.. accept the responsibility but always be open to suggestions from others. When it's your turn to present, make sure to give credit to everyone in the team... (at least the ones who deserve it). Do NOT HOG the limelight.. they hate that. Explain how you came up with the design as concisely as possible.. be honest about the problems you faced coming up with the design. Don't be too argumentative when the interviewers question your decisions.. think about what you're gonna say before you do and reply in a calm and rational manner.. else you'll just give them more license to 'hentam' you.

SLB isn't really looking for the grad with the highest GPA. They want ppl who can work in a team, can communicate ideas and able to work under pressure without blowing his/her top off (trust me.. pressure comes from all directions.. supervisors.. colleagues.. clients).

Owh.. and never ever mention MONEY during the entire interview..

so, TS did u make it through?

I failed. Team members elected me to be group leader but I rejected. In the end, my group leader passed the stage.

What can I say more?

Aiyah.. you tak baca ka saya punya advice?!

You can try again in 12 months though.. I think

this thread remind me my group interview end of this month. thanks for the tips, cik enkadirmainbola.

how long time between the 1st interview and the 2d

hint : the bigger the base, the heavier the base, the stronger the structure will hold

yah...make the structure hollow, stronger and lighter than solid, usually they ask to hold golf ball but i forgot for how many...

(^___^)

Congrats on passing the Group Dynamic stage. It is the hardest stage of the recruitment process IMO because it's a lottery. The next stages will be kind of casual. Yes, I believe the next stage is 1-on-1 interview with Recruiting Manager. He/She just wants to see your personality. They won't ask you technical stuffs but still, be prepared and most importantly, be yourself. Oh, make sure you converse well in English and be or act tough. I have a friend who failed to pass the stage as the interviewer thought she was too soft to work in the harsh environment.

Good luck to you two.

enkardir is totally right. 100% do not hog the limelight and show more humility. act cooler but dont too passive.
but in actual fact, being more passive is >>> being more "wanted to show off".
of cz dun over passive though.

very helpful indeed.. thanks bro.

Hello everyone,

Many good tips here...
For me, it ll start tueday 20th nov with the tests, company profile and interview at the end of the day i guess.
Do you have tips that you felt the interviewers liked about the follwing questions:
-why field specialist, why SLB, what motivate you ?
Hopefully, i ll be present for the second day with the presentation of 5 min with a ppt.
In this ppt, i described my self in the first one, and in the second one, i put ( PICK ME, I M ready) only, too much sense of humour ?
However, in the mail i received, they dont talk about a group working test.. we ll see

Ty and see u later
