ExxonMobil Grad Scheme

Hi cherno samba,

I've got an interview coming up this wednesday...when's your interview?

Hey megaman,

I have the interview tommorow. Have you done much to prepare for your one on wed?

Guys, before Exxon Mobil got in touch for your interviews, did anyone have "competency screening completed" said when they checked their online application status?

@ cherno

I've got my list of examples ready, but not done that much prep...what about yourself? Let us know how you get on tomorrow...good luck

@ Liverpool

I had "competency screening completed" written for a couple of weeks before they finally got back to me. I dont really know what takes them so long...

I have prepared some examples - i think I will have some bullit points in front of me to help answering. Are some of your examples the same as the ones you used on the competency questions on the applications?

yeah i'll be using some of the examples provided in the application form, i'm also bullit pointing all my experiences so i can refer to them at the interview...I also been told the interviewer might ask for more than one example for each competency!

For which scheme(s) did you apply?

They take so long with any step because they want to see if they can get better people than the ones they could get currently. Their applications are open relatively long so they do not give away the few spots easily....for some schemes they only took 1 or 2 people last year...

Cherno,

How was your interview today? Was it what you expected?

@ Degletnour- I'm applying for IT, what are you applying for?

Hey megaman,

The interview was quite tricky, not sure if I will progress to be honest. If you are prepared for all the competencies then you should be able to answer all the questions at least.

I applied for the Finance scheme. Are you allowed to apply for more than one scheme?

Cherno,

So they ask a lot of competencies? Can you give any examples? My interview is tomorrow

Also I dont know if you can apply for more than one scheme but I doubt it as they want a committment to a certain area.

Well, I don't need to apply....

a) you're 2 people so that's why I asked for scheme(s) and b) at least before you had to pick a second option....might have changed that though.

The telephone interview is easy...it's with an HR person...not s.o. from the business line. So quite hard to mess that up. Usually they will ask about a team situation, a challenge etc. so the standard. Since it's an HR person do make sure you give a balanced view and show that you got people skills.
The face-to-face interview obviously depends on the interviewer, but usually they pick "nice" people for that. You should make sure that under no circumstances you make something up! If they doubt anything you say they are instructed to probe until they think you're honest. Also show interest in ALL ExxonMobil activities! If you continue to work for them it is almost guaranteed that you will change to another business line at some point.

Good Luck!

I was successful at the phone interview - how did everyone else do?

I got through as well...they got back to you on a date yet for the face to face interview and does anyone know the format of the interview?

Hi

just got invited to do the numerical test.... does anyone know any websites to practice on? is the test similar to shl?

I thought the test was so much harder. I think it's psl or kenexa. Can't remember. I failed and got a rejection. :(

I thought the test was the hardest one I have taken so far too. I didn't come close to finishing but I passed at least.

Yeh so did I. I also did it and was unsuccessful! :(

Anyone else here passed their phone interview and is waiting for a data for the face to face interview?

I passed the phone interview like three weeks ago but heard nothing since...anyone else in the same boat?

Yep I'm still waiting too.

Hi guys, does enyone know the % of correct questions Exxon Mobil is looking for in the numerical test??thanks

60 or 70% I think...

thanks chucky!

how long does it take them to get back to u...after u have completed the numeracy

They got back to me within a day to say I was rejected. Not sure how soon others got their rejection though.

I have a telephonic interview with exxon on the 6th of november...can anyone with a past history shed some light...(what kinda question do they emphasize upon..i have had an IB interview recently isit based on the same pattern)

Has anyone been told a date for their face-to-face interview? It's been a while since their last communication..

For the phone interview, look at the competencies that they are looking for and have examples ready.

No contact about the face-to-face intervieww yet. The last email I received from them was to confirm I had the right to work in the EU.

do they ask anthing on business awarnes..as to why I have choosen exxon, why the department and questions along those line..
really would appreciate ur take

Also I am international student from canada..I have a work permit to work in the UK but not EU does that mean i cant work fr exxon

Hi guys, how long do they take to set up the HR interview from when they tell you pass the numeracy?thank you

Hello.

I have a telephone interview in a few days, It would be much appreciated if you could please list the core competences of Exxon mobil.
Thanks!

Still no news on face-to-face interviews....? I had to confirm that I was eligible to work in the UK, but that was it..

Received the date for a face-to-face interview today. How about everyone else?

Anyone passed site interview?

Has been a week and no news at all

Hi aaronedin and cherno samba,

It seems to me that 'no news is usually good news', so fingers crossed for your site interview and well done!
Please please and please kindly share your experience on the site interview - How long did you have to wait to be invited for the site interview and did you have to contact them before they got in touch.

how was the day like?
did you have to sleep over?
was there another round of numerical test?
what were your responses and what would you advise for the day, as I have also got mine coming up......?

Thank you - your help and reassurance would be highly appreciated.

Tyler

hey guys.
Still no news yet from exxonmobil after scaling the numeracy test.
Got feedback on my numeracy since Mid-November!
Anyone with the same experience on this forum? Or are we simply not good enough for the next round!!!

same here timmalone52, i received a mail said I pass the numerical test and they are screening my competency-based questions and will contact me once they finish. I did my test on 11th Nov.
I sent them a email last week asking how long will it take, and have no reply.

Hi phybabe, which program did you apply for? Exxon seem to be taking ages at every stage of their recruitment. Thanks for the info.

Cheers

I applied for the finance scheme. what scheme did u apply for timmalone52?

Mine was in IT not sure there are recruiting into this role for 2010 any longer.

I just went on their site, and said IT - No vacancies available 2010. Did they ask you for your second choice Timmalone ?

hey! I've got an assessment centre with Exxon tomorrow/Tuesday for the Retail Graduate Scheme and wanted to find out if anyone has any tips for the day? :) Thanks, Nadiya

Hi all,

I have my telephone interview with Exxon over the next couple of days....from what i gathered from friends that progressed that far in the recruitment process and the e-mail notification of the stage, competency based questions will be fielded by a HR based manager and would seek to find out how the candidate exhibits several competencies required by the company
I hope this helps...

Good luck to all that has made it this far...!!!!!!

Is anyone else still waiting for the results from the site interview? It's been a few weeks now...
