I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Halliburton (Nisku, AB) in Dec 2009
Interview
I was brought into the office for an interview when I was dropping off my application. I was asked some questions about my motivation for the position and my skills. I was told they were only hiring contractors at the time, but HR would instruct me how to set up my own corporation and the type of insurance I'd need.

Question 1
It wasn't particularly difficult at all, but I already had oilfield experience.
