ExxonMobil

The Exxon Mobil Corporation, or ExxonMobil, is an American oil and gas corporation and a direct descendant of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil company. It was formed on November 30, 1999, by the merger of Exxon and Mobil.


Interview & Assessment Process

[Edit] The ExxonMobil interview and assessment process consists of:

Online Examination

[Edit]

Successful applicants (most applicants) are invited to complete an online test focusing on numeracy skills, such as ability to read graphs, calculate percentiles, and other statistics and accounting based skills


Telephone interview

[Edit]

Exxon will conduct a 15-20 minute telephone interview with successful candidates following the online test, this consists of questions about examples of times when you have achieved something or demonstrated a skill, for example:

  • Give me an example of when you have demonstrated leadership skills.

Following this personality test, successful candidates will be asked to attend a formal interview

Hi,

I would like to ask if the online tests are difficult or not? Any practices needed?

Arnez

Its alrite, better than SHL. U definitely need practices to get through

hocheung

so you mean they are easier than SHL numerical and verbal tests?

whihc sheme did you apply for? I apply for the Finance one!

Arnez

yeah its easier than SHL atleast you can go back and review unanswered questions, BUT u have to do practises.... its mainly currency, proportions, charts, ratio. There are alot of charts, cant remember all the topics. Its about 32 or more questions, cant remember but definitly more than SHL.

I applied for Gas and Power Marketing.

All the best with the test!!

hocheung

Thanks a lot for the information mate!

how about the verbal test? did you do it?

Good luck in your phone interview!!!

Arnez

Harmony

Yeah, just numerical. I sat mine just before Christmas, but still haven't heard back. How long does it take them to get back after the tests?

Arnez

Has anyone taken the telephone interview with ExxonMobil? What sort of questions do they ask? Is it based on the competency questions from the application form?

Arnez

yeah.... its competency based. I was asked resilience, problem solving and adaptability. But prepare two examples for these as she might ask u for two different scenario. She kinda interrupts u whilst u answering, so make sure you know what you talking about.

rer1

Thanks for the info. What sort of answers did you give for resilience?

Arnez

resilience has to do with your motivation, staying focused, re-assessing a situation and maintaining your effectiveness. Think of a situation in you rlife when you have combined the four factors above in order to overcome a situation.

I hope that helps

Hi guys...

just wanted to share my phone interview experience... had one for finance... but probably the same for all schemes... four questions.... going to give approx format of the questions...

Give me a time....(they also want to hear the outcome of each solution of yours)

1) When you worked in a team and you saw a trend/pattern that no one else in the team did

2) You worked in team and there were many solutions to select from...how did YOU make sure you selected the right one? (And a further question was asked about what solutions I came up with and why I thought it was promising)

3) When you worked on a project, and something new came up that caused problems in your project... something that basically almost threathened your project but then how you overcame that problem

4) I think this last question was about using your influence or communications skills...oh yeah...A time when there were different views in the group and how did you handle this, convince them about your view etc..

at the end you are asked if you have any questions to ask...

dat was my experience...

good to share with people..

the interviewer was really nice/friendly..

will know the outcome in 5 working days...

dun think my went amazing...was just ok..

but they might change the format of the questions... but it is similar to those posted by previous people

tc and best of luck ppl

prat111

How did it go 05043? Did they get back to you yet?

05043

Lol...no i didn get it..but tbh im not too shocked...my phone interview wasnt amazing..just ok... but now with my experience and sharing of question..ull be better prepared..

Best of luck

Hi,

Had my phone interview and received the ff email a few days later:

Congratulations! Following your recent assessment activity, we are pleased to advise you that you have been successful in progressing to the next stage of our selection process.

Your application is now placed in the pipeline ready to progress to the next stage and we will be in contact with you shortly.

In the meantime should you wish to speak to a member of the recruitment team please do not hesitate to contact us at uk.vacancies@exxonmobil.com.

Kind regards,

However, someone mentioned in a previous post that he had the same email but was never contacted and all attempts to contact the company proved futile. Just wondering what the email you received looks like..if you don't mind that is

Thanks

frendu

Hi all,

Just had my online assessment and it was gud! They said they are now reviewing my answers to their 3 competency questions.

Does anyone know how long that usually takes?

eby61ahb

Has anyone had their telephone interview for 2012 scheme?

Any help would be really appreciated.

mani123

hi guys has anyone done the numeracy test and if so how isit? whts are the key areas. would be great help if one could direct. thanks

eby61ahb

The numeracy test is alright. I think its kenexa and if you practice their test online it should give you an idea. Remember time is the key, so don't spend too much on one question.
If you can' do one have your best guess and move on because you will be hard pressed to complete all the questions.
