Mine is panel interview by 3 managers. Later I knew that they are two big bosses from procurement department, one direct supervisor, maybe senior procurement specialist. They asked all about personality questions related to jobs. It maybe due to my lack of experience in procurement. about 40 min. taxi fee paid by the company. venue is in Tuas, Singapore

I recently attended an interview with Halliburton for a procurement position, and I have to say, it was quite an eye-opening experience. Despite having over five years of solid procurement experience, the interviewer mentioned that my experience was “not enough” for the role. I can’t help but wonder what the actual requirement was — perhaps ten years of experience for an associate-level position? To add to that, my salary expectation was apparently considered too high. I suppose they might be expecting someone with a decade of experience to work for around RM3,000? If so, that would explain a lot. On top of it all, the interviewer didn’t come across as prepared or professional — messy hair, casual attire, and a noticeably uninterested attitude. It felt less like an interview and more like an obligation she just wanted to get over with. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that didn’t reflect well on Halliburton’s recruitment standards or respect for candidates’ time and professionalism.
