Just go get the job in march,2014!

For those that have been eager to know about the BHI Experience I will be detailed enough to give you everything that you need to succeed. However, from the aftermath of the experience itself it seems you do not only need to perform at your best but also need to play your way through. Yes play your way through because it was sadden to discover that some were selected based on the fact that they had a contact person in BakerHuges meaning the process itself wasn’t totally transparent. Nevertheless, please do not be discouraged as I will give you detailed information such that your outstanding performance will leave them with no choice but to select you.
Day 1 – The first day was somewhat more of an arrival day. When I landed in Port Harcourt I saw some folks holding a BakerHughes board stand. They took me to the Hotel (Golden Tullip), one of the best hotels in the city. When I get to the reception I was given a welcome letter but if you are not please request for it because it contains every detail you need to know regarding the following day which is day 2. On checking in I got to know my roommate coz it has been scheduled to be two in a room. Trust me a hotel of 55,435 naira per night is one you can’t take away anything from. It’s more than convenient for two. Later in the evening, one of the HRs called to ascertain that I was around and that I have read the welcome letter. My feeding has been taking care of so I and my roommate did not hesitate to get our dinner at the hotel restaurant called “Anioma restaurant”- a buffet.
Day 2 – Day two started at about 6a.m. at a venue within the Hotel premises. The assessors who are managers with over 12 years of experience and the HRs introduced themselves and thereafter we were asked to do the same. The format that was given was that you will have to form words with each of the letters in your first name. The first letter will represent how you will be addressed all through the experience. At this point you have to be smart in that you really need to get a word that will truly represent your person. Take for instance if my name is “electromag”, meaning I could say E for Efficient. Then you could work around the word and make you point clear and precise.
After this exercise, we were then taken to the D&A factory of BakerHughes where we had a lot of assessment and aptitude. We had a tour of the factory in batches where we got to know more about drilling services and wireline. At this point you need to be aware of your environment and you need to ask intelligent questions. Just ensure as you go about the factory- be involved. After the completion of the tour we had an aptitude test.
The aptitude test comprises of a case based scenario and a quantitative section which was all about MAYAN NUMBERS. If you don’t know anything about mayan numbers I will advise you Google things up and get all the info about mayan. You will be tested on basic arithmetic (Addition , subtraction , multiplication and division – although of the 30 questions under these you get to have just one division question which was 18 divided by 3) using mayan notations.
Then the next assessment was the technical based assessment. This comprises of 5 different stages which are; PH test, 2- Assemblies, Use of multi-meter and Use of vernier calliper. The litmus test is about using a litmus paper to check if the solutions provided are acidic, basic, or neutral and afterwards you get to use an electronic meter to check for same and compare your results. All these are done in 10 minutes and you really need to be fast at it. It’s not so much of a problem you only need to follow instructions – which is the key to every exercise of the BHI Experience. The 2 assembly- you will need to use the assembly drawing provided to assemble piece of the part given to you. You really need to know how to interpret assembly drawing. If you do not; go and find a way out. For the vernier calliper section – you will also need a bit of interpreting engineering drawing to know where to measure and also need to know how to measure using a calliper. You will be required to measure depths and diameters, so get yourself prepared on this. And finally on this section, you will be required to use a multi-meter to measure the resistance value of a resistor. Ones you get the multi-meter, tune it to the point you have the symbol of the ohm and the place the probe at both ends of the resistor and record you value for sample A,B and C. Afterwards you will then be requested to manually calculate the value of a resistor based on the colour coding provided. Please, remember you have 10 minutes each for each section and you need to work as fast as you can. Less I forget, since Baker Hughes takes safety very seriously you will have to put on your gloves and goggles first before you commence anything, else you will lose points.
After the technical section, we had a break and thereafter we were taken back to the hotel. The next activity was a group assessment. You will be divided into groups and will be saddled with responsibility of building an oil rig. Like I said earlier you need to follow instructions, work effectively as a group and be proactive in all these exercises. You will be given a money card where you can go and buy whatever that is needed to build the chosen rig you want to build. Please decide fast on the type you want to build with your group and ensure you go to the market early enough so that you can buy all that is needed before it becomes crowded and you are limited with resources. It’s an exciting exercise just be yourself and work effectively as a team.
Thereafter, you will have an individual kind of game. They will raise a case based scenario and you will have to pick your answers with a card (blue, yellow, green and red). The instructions will be well stated and read out. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. This exercise is centred on the core values of BakerHughes which are: Integrity, Courage, Leadership, Performance and Team work.
The final part of day 2 is an interview. You will be asked three basic questions which are 1. Why Field Engineers? 2. Why BakerHughes? and 3. The challenges you envisage as a Field engineer?
The day 2 lasted till around 10:30pm. Really exhausting but keep your head up and your best in each of the exercise.
Day3 – Was a brief day. We had just two exercises. The first was a team/group work. In this exercise, we were presented a scenario of going for a career fair in a university and where we would be enlightening the students on the role of a field engineer and why they should join BakerHughes. Being a newly recruited employee of bakerHughes you will be asked to come up with your presentations as a group. At this point all you know and have read about bakerhughes comes to play and you need to dish them out with your team in order to have a befitting presentation. Afterwards, each person had a one-on-one interview with all the assessors and HRs. This marks the end of the BHI Experience.
At the end you will then be called in one after the other to know your fate – if you are successful or not. Out of the 20 of us I think 9 were successful. It’s unfortunate that I wasn’t part of the team. Like I said in the beginning of my epistle, it goes much more that your excellent performance. I have taken it in good fate and believing God has a better plan for me.
Wish you all the very best.
Once again, pray very well, do your part, get to relate well even during breaks with the assessors, follow instructions and always be at your best.
I remain Electromag!

oyakhilomedest: @ electromag,it has not entered.since urs is delivered,no oqualms.when is the flight scheduled?

oyakhilomedest: @ electromag.hw far.any update as per d flight arrangement?.pls reply ASAP or beep me on 08069427786

No update yet o,my broda. Bt was told they will send the ticket. Think it's general for our batch. We nid to hv a plan B o.

From the info i heard abt last yr batch; the aptitude test was abt current affairs, road signs/symbols, basic arithmetic/quantitative and verbal reasoning. Can we rely on this fact and hope they will come in the same vein or they might rather step up the complexities of the test considering a higher number of candidates shortlisted dis yr as compard to the last?
Please let's use this medium to drop as many info as posibl dat can be of help.
Let's win together..!

davide470:

@princely83: are u resident in lagos? If yes, hav u been sent a return ticket to portharcourt?

princely83:
kk cool... well mine is now 25-27th. So how's preparation going?

Nothing really to work wrk wit aside googling and it seems the BHI experience is devoid of nairalanders..!

princely83: Hi, it seems baker hughes is merging the two batches together for the BHE and will now hold on 25th-27th Nov. Electromag hope you have gotten ur letter of reschedule?

Got a mail yesterday and the dates remain thesame 27-29th.

Kingsleyinfo:

Sorry I don't have an answer to that question. But I would advice you consult Google on that.
Use bakerhuges experience interview as keywords. You are sure to get some info from glass door.

Get ready for presentations, basic skills test, and interviews. HR and Technical.

Its mostly merit based. So u will be assessed properly.
They would have some of their international recruitment team present.
Everything follows normal protocol, except if your bros na HR manager

Tnx..!

Kingsleyinfo:

Yeah I understand you.
With BH, over qualification is a disadvantage for that particular role you are applying for.

Secondly for all those going for the BHE, just relax there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about these people.
Your first mistake would be getting overwhelmed even before you get there.

Be yourself and do what you know how to do best.

Cheers.

Wat exactly shud we be expctin at the BHE? Do u have a precise info,plz?

davide470: Just had a call with Baker Hughes HR. I don't think there will be more invites this year till next year opportunities. She asked for my grade and even read out my profile to me, telling me my score for the phone interview (which was 2 points below the cut-off)..
Wishing those going for BHE all the best.
So guys, till we meet again next year, Cheers!!!

Hmmm... Tnx davide470...All da best in future endeavours, bro.!
