Interview questions

[TFOGGER]

Congrats, Stuving!

I think in a few years when I retire IF I decide to get a job for a few years I can imagine the questions.

When I got my last promotion my current boss asked for my current resume.

It was a short notice type of thing since most of us supposedly did not qualify for the job. I just kind of looked at him. He was like, No I need one today. I just laughed. Then I explained that he was 7 years old the last time I put one together.

So can we talk to your boss two jobs ago? No, he's dead.

I think an interview would be fun at this point in life.

What are you going to be doing now Stu?

I think a big part of me getting the job was that I was practically floating on clouds when I interviewed because I was so pumped up about another opportunity in my life. Having the confidence is a very big factor when interviewing. I've bombed interviews before when the interviewers could tell that I didn't really want the job.

What are you going to be doing now Stu?

I don't want to post where I work anymore, but same thing I was doing before. This place will have better health plan, and I guess they have 401K AND pension. I don't contribute to 401k anymore, and have never, nor will ever expect a pension, but for other people I imagine that is alluring.

I nterviewed with Baker Hughes INTEQ, got the job BTW, and they asked me the following......

"When you say you will do everything that can possibly done to getdirectional drilling equipment up
and working, what do you mean? Do you violate safety procedures that are inplace or violate JSAs?"

My answer was simple, "Without violating any established safety rules or potential violation to create
a new safety rule/issue, I would go back a few steps to when the issue was not an issue and retry several
things. Sometimes things happen due to PFM (Pure F*cking Magic) and if you go back a few steps sometimes
things will come back online or start working again." Electricians will understand what I mean by this.

I couldnt beleive they asked this as it to me is a question that was a set up by the retard that asked it.
That guy ended up being my boss, I was not excited of his lack of knowledge of directional drilling and field experience.


Also in the same interview they asked me, "Are you ok with traveling and being gone?"
I was switching from an MWD to a DD and it involves being gone the exact same amount of time.

I didnt stay with them for to long as I didnt like how the leadership was.

Time for this thread to be bumped again. We have new members with new experiences and members who need work.

Thanks for bumping this. I'm currently looking for new employment and haven't had an interview in 17 years. This definitely gave me some things to consider.
