Hello I have a online interview as a ROV trainee and was looking to know any info that could help prepare me for the interview! I was looking to know where does Oceaneering conduct there training and how long for? I applied through a Dubai recruiter.
Any info regarding help for my interview would be greatly appreciated!February 16, 2014 at 9:35 pm #35019damian archboldParticipantHi bairdy,
Is it the online test that you are doing, it won’t be an online interview, if you make it past the online test(aptitude) then you will be asked to interview which could have some sort of knowledge test either electronic, hydraulic or electrical as well as the normal interview jargon. I am awaiting my online test with oceaneering myself.February 16, 2014 at 11:12 pm #35020Glenn bairdParticipantHi no I’ve already passed the online test and I assume because they are recruiting out of Dubai is why the interview will be conducted over Skype!
February 17, 2014 at 2:15 pm #35021COLIN BRADLEYParticipantHi mate, im awaiting the online test as well so can’t help you with the skype other than by saying make sure you have a good internet signal and be confident. Also have a copy of your cv to hand incase they ask you questions about it. How did you find the online test?
March 11, 2014 at 9:10 am #35022jon sweetmanParticipantHi Buddy. Hope the online test went well for you.? I’ve been trying to get a start and have applied to many companies in Saudi and Dudai. Was wondering which recruiter you used?
Thanks JonApril 17, 2014 at 7:32 pm #35023AdrianParticipantHey guys how did you go with the online test. I just received the same email myself last night. and going to complete it today when the house quietens down a bit.
April 29, 2014 at 9:50 am #35024Nathan RusdenParticipantHi guys anyone tell me how long they waited for results etc from Oceaneering after doing their online test??
Cheers
April 29, 2014 at 6:05 pm #35025DerekParticipantI waited about two weeks…decided to call them and was asked to come down for an interview. Got the job.
April 30, 2014 at 10:03 am #35026Nathan RusdenParticipantWas that through the Dubai office?
May 1, 2014 at 9:46 pm #35027DerekParticipantNope, through the Morgan City office.
May 5, 2014 at 10:17 pm #35028TonyParticipantHi Guys,
I completed the online test and was successful, I got a reply within a week saying they will be in touch to confirm interview dates which they are hoping to conduct by mid June. just wondering if anybody has had an interview with Oceaneering recently? will it be technical or do they cover the technical side of things with the test? any info / tips would be much appreciated. This was all through the Dubai office
Thanks

Not that my opinion means much, but please remember that all interviews are conducted differently. Who ever conducts the interview will question your experience and may get you to elaborate on answers you gave during the testing phase or ares that you show weakness in so it is always a good strategy to brush up on ares you are weak in but remember that if you say you have an electrical background and can’t turn a multimeter on or have any idea of basic laws of electricity then expect to be asked a lot of questions. The same can be said for guys claiming to have an extensive mechanical back ground when all they have done was work as a back yard mechanic for a few years. Yes I am sure that this response will get a resounding batch of opinions as to the fact that they know someone who has no experience in any thing and still got the job but remember that the reality is lots of people want to get in but you need to stand out for all the right reasons and not be remembered for not being prepaired for the interview. This may sound like dumb advice but offshore we see it all the time as for some reason a person’s pride gets in the way of asking questions when they are not sure and then proceeding blindly into a potential accident.
cheers,
