Process and Preparation
The Process
The interview process can vary, depending on your experience and the job for which you’re applying. Generally, interviews are conducted on-site, where you will meet with Human Resources representatives. If the first screening is successful, you will be invited back to meet with several key people with whom you’ll be working. You’ll then be given a time frame regarding when to expect a decision.
Should you be selected, a verbal offer will be given along with more specific information about the job. This will be followed by a confirmation letter or e-mail.
Employment is contingent upon successfully completing all applicable background and pre-employment screenings.
The Preparation
No matter how many times you’ve been through it, interviews always manage to get the adrenaline flowing. Preparation is the best antidote to interview jitters. To that end, here are a few suggestions:
- ConocoPhillips is all about innovative solutions. Have a few instances in mind of how you’ve solved particular problems in the workplace, whether they were product, service or people-related.
- As you’ve most likely already discovered, this Web site is filled with information about our company. Take a few moments to review it. You’ll probably find some interesting factoids that will make great conversation starters and get the interview going on a more relaxed track.
- Any questions you have about us? We’d love to hear them. After all, as much as you’ll be the focus of the interview, it’s also about what we can offer you.
