I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Halliburton (Brighton, CO) in Dec 2012
Interview
First evening was a presentation overview of the different PSL's followed by an informal dinner with all the other candidates. Next morning we met in the hotel lobby at 5:30 a.m. to go out to a frac job for most of the day. Toured the job site and went over all of the necessary equipment and processes for the job. Safety was stressed the whole time. After the frac job we went to lunch and then back to the main Halliburton facilities. We were showed around the building and then the labs. After this, the interviews commenced.
