Halliburton Associate Technical Professional interview questions

What are your strengths?

Interview questions really depend upon which department you are for. For example, sperry manager may ask you the toughest of question about petroleum engineering but coiled tubing/wireline/perforating may ask you mechanical engineering problems. Managers will try to scare you off by picturing the conditions of workplace. My manager actually in a way told me that I may die on an offshore platform and asked me if i am not scared. Of course, I was scared but then accident can happen anywhere. Infact, oilfield had less death rate than a machine workshop industry. So, be prepared for such questions. Apart from this, he asked me very simple engineering products such as how does a fan work or how a hand pump sucks water from the earth. What would happen if you touch a live wire.
