I had a phone screening with a recruiter, and then an in-person interview at the office with the Civil/Structural/Architectural Line Manager. Both were super communicative and really engaged with me. I got to talk about my qualifications and what I want to do in my career.

Behavioral Technical
Submitted my online application with CV and Cover Letter. Had an initial screening interview that was about 1 hour long. It was mostly a friendly chat where they asked why I want to join the company, but also asked a lot of questions about the oil industry and what the company does. Didn't make it to the next stage.

We did two interviews: one technical in Spanish, and another to check English knowledge on various topics. The technical interview asked about past work experience and how you performed in previous companies. The main focus was whether the candidate is eager to continue professional growth and learn along the way.
