Interview with BP

engstrom0304 · 8 Jan 2014 at 19:06

Hey guys,
Im a first year mechanical engineer at Imperial College. BP are giving 10 scholarships to first year imperial students for £5000 per year for the duration of the 4 year degree. This could also lead to potential employment with BP.

Anybody have any experience with the oil and gas industry, specifically tips for the interview?

Thanks

Tim

Have you already submitted your CV or filled in an application form or whatever? This will be a big aspect of how they judge you.

I've submitted a long application form and done online psychometric tests.

They suggested I familiarise myself with their values... I think Ill think of times when I've demonstrated these values.

There are 10 places available and there were only about 6 interview times to choose from which suggests that unless there are many interviewers they must have cut a lot out already. Fingers crossed!
