Topic: Mobil Interview

Its the usual competemcy questions. Im not a pro but just be urself. They really want to know more about you thru these questions. How u handle urself in different circumstances and ur approach to life n problem solving etc. There r no right or wrong answers (well, maybe there r obvious wrong answers ) but just be confident n honest. Make eye contact, sit up straight, dont slouch, umm.........yeah, pray before u go in and let God take control of the rest. Hope this helps.

What position are you goin in for and is it a trainee or experienced one?

@Tall Chic...Impish has said it all

Is this your first stage? if yes, you may likely be given, the in-tray exercise (a hypothetical exercise to test your priorities in decision making...again, no right or wrong answers, defend all your decisions with tangible reasons and thought processes)

...Be confident knowing fully well that God has gone ahead of you

i was also invited - first stage as a graduate trainee mech engr.
@all. thanks for d contr.
@Tripple C Can u shade more light on the hypothetical exercise?

@Msoft, when did You write the test please?

The in-tray exercise is a hypothetical one...19 mails in your in-tray(in-box) on a normal working day at the office, each mail addressing a different area of work, some of the mails inter-connected etc, this is just to check how you would prioritize your action items, you have one hour to work through the mails and action them out...again, no right or wrong answers, defend all your decisions with tangible reasons and thought processes

ITA with Tripple-C.

@tripple-c - yeah, was just going to ask the same question. I dont recall mobil advertising recently but who knows?

@Impish, I also don't remember Mobil advertising for Trainee Engineering recently, I don't know if it was the same test we did last year...who knows??

Yeah, its quite strange. Anyway, I heard from the guy from mobil who sent us the mails recently n he said that we'd b contacted last week or this week. Today is wednesday so Im still hoping sha. But it keeps getting stranger every second *sigh*

I interviewed with MOBIL on the 4th of June for the position of a Trainee geoscientist. It's nolonger the In-tray exercise. It's all about getting to know you stuff and technical question from your field/discipline/area of specialisation. while you answer questions from the technical aspect, more questions emerge from what you say.Mind you there's is an expert in your field and dont elaborate on what you are not sure of. On the issue of getting to know you stuff, prepare for questions like ; Your best/worst course in school; why you studied the course you read; greatest achievements and greatest challenge you ever had; short/long term goal;why you want to work for MOBIL and stuffs like that. Above all, you have to exude confidence and let poise be your watchword!
I wish you well

I'm hapy 4 u guys, wishin nu all d very best of luck...

@Georgejob...wish you the very best
@ALL Invitees...go with God, mercy has gone ahead of you, and remember that in mercy you find favour and grace...
@Okoriko...many 10x man!
@Impish...no letting go, no giving up, God who has taken us this far is faithful to complete His work in our lives

@msoft and tallchic , goodluck in your interview. please wen did u write the test for graduate trainee mechanical engr?
