I applied online. I interviewed at bp (Sunbury, England)
Interview
There were multiple stages to the interview process. The first was a situational judgment stage. This was a series of questions about how you would handle situations, I think there is an element of time and choice (but not sure for certain) and it is best to learn the company values before you do this. Next, there was an online interview process, here it is key not to forget your soft skills and make your answers specific and not generic, you get 2 mins to prepare, so write up some examples that link to the values beforehand. Then I had a technical interview, which was split into questions based on the company values, and the second half was technical. For geology observations, why you think something is more important than getting the answer right. It is worth recapping your basic petroleum systems knowledge

Behavioral internview at first for 30 minutes. Then after that there is a technical interview for an hour. Then HR reach out to you if you pass both steps. The interviewr were very easy to talk to

Question 1
The technical interview was one on one and the interviewer laid out a page of seismic and told you to describe what you saw. After noticing I struggled because I had yet to take seismic interpretation courses, he asked where I would drill and why.
