Thanks.

I recently got invited to the BP Technical Interview within the IST Graduate Programme. Had the phone interview on wednesday and got the email on saturday that I passed. I'll be attending the next stage on the 3rd of December, does anyone have any suggestions? When I'm done I'll let you guys know how it was.

It is. I think at the technical interview it will be further competency interview blended with case studies and a trading simulation game. Don't exactly know what to expect though...
just wonder how long you have to wait after the situational judgement test? i have applied for trading internship. thanks

I did the situational judgement test at the end of september. After that I was invited to do the numerical (and i think verbal?) test online at the end of october, and a few days after doing that I got invited to do the phone interview.

Yeah I heard technical interviews are mostly case studies, you don't expect to know anything in-depth about oil and gas though, just some general knowledge should suffice.

Will there be a trading game? well that's new...

Hi,

The technical interview was a whole day event, in the morning there was an introduction about BP and what the graduation programme is like, etc. In the afternoon we had to do presentations individually, which we prepared in advance based on the topics we were given a few days before. After that we had a scenario based technical interview, and at the end a trading simulation.
Will your technical interview be for an internship? We were told that there wont be any more candidates being interviewed for the graduate programme. There were about 1000 applicants for 4 positions, the final 4 is decided from the 16 who are progressed to the assessment centre from the technical interview.
Hello Mohakin,

Pls do you mean the entire BP graduate programme or for the trading segment with regards to the end of technical interviews? I did the telephone interview a week ago and heard nothing yet for the engineering graduate programme.
