I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TotalEnergies in Jan 2020
Interview
Be sure to know the technicalities of the process. Familiarize SAP codes, reports and payment process. Be confident and make eye contact. Focus on the question and do not provide unnecessary details. It will just lead to a number of questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation wherein you deal with an irate client and how did you handle it.
They call and inform you of the date they'll have the interview. They do not ask whether it's convenient. The recruiter made it clear that if the schedule is not convenient, they'll have to cancel the interviewing process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask to describe the consolidation process and also give an IFRS code and ask you to tell them what that standard is (expecting the candidate to know them by heart).
The recruiter had his head leaning on his hand during the interview. One couldn't sense any excitement to complete the interview nor join the company (anymore).
The first call imposing the call schedule was a red flag, the interview was the second flag not to work for TotalEnergies.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TotalEnergies (París) in Mar 2019
Interview
Un entretien Opérationnel avec des questions sur le parcours, les motivations et les compétences. Le poste a été clairement décrit. Durée 1 h avec un bon échange. L'équipe était cordiale et bienveillante. Ils n'ont pas chercher à me piéger pendant l'entretien. Il s'agissait d'un contrat à durée déterminée
