Shape your resume

Here are a few tips to craft a competitive

resume:

• Use the job description to highlight your

relevant skills, experience or research.

• Emphasize the outcome(s) of the work or

projects you’ve contributed to. What
impact did you make?

• Tell us specifics about your work. What

was the significance of your research?
How many people did you manage on
your team? What was the scope of your
project?

• Recent graduates and students working

towards completing degrees are
encouraged to include college / university
coursework or projects that establish your
qualifications.

• Brief is best. Use your resume or CV to

focus on major accomplishments and
qualifications.

Next steps: resume review

Our application questions and job descriptions

are designed to help us identify individuals who
have the basic qualifications for our job postings.
Typically, we contact the most qualified
candidates for an interview within 2 to 8 weeks
(however, some hiring programs may have a
longer time frame). If you are selected for an
interview, we may contact you to provide more
information through our careers site. Be sure to
check your inbox to ensure that emails from
ExxonMobil Career Connect are not being sent
to your spam / junk folder.

Assessments

For some positions, a preliminary assessment is

required. This may include language, mechanical,
technical, and analytical aptitude assessments,
depending on position and location. If an
assessment is required, you’ll be contacted by
email after the initial resume screen. The email
will include the details and next steps for
completing the assessment.

Interview format

The interview will allow you to meet our

recruiting teams and learn more about our
company as we get to know you better. Our
recruiting team will contact you (either by email
or by phone) to communicate the specifics of
your interview(s). Be sure to check your inbox to
ensure that emails from ExxonMobil Career
Connect are not being sent to your spam / junk
folder. The details will include the location, how
to access our secured sites, what to wear and
the format of the interviews. You’ll know what to
expect in advance.

You may participate in multiple interviews as part

of the process. Here are a few of the most
common:

• Preliminary phone or Skype interview:

For many positions, we will first contact
you by phone to gauge your interest and
get a better sense of your qualifications. In
some cases, we will also include a Skype
interview. If your preliminary interview
goes well, we typically invite you to an in-
person interview.

• On-campus interviews: Our recruiting

teams visit college and university
campuses to find students who are
interested in co-ops, internships,
apprenticeships and permanent positions.
Students interviewed at this stage may be
referred to one or more business lines for
consideration.

• Technical interviews: Our typical on-site

interview contains technical questions
that help us to assess your familiarity with
problem-solving in your given field. Be
prepared to explain how you approach
problems and arrive at solutions.

• Collaboration and leadership interviews:

We seek to understand your ability to
work in teams and across disciplines. We
ask questions that help you share your
actions, responsibilities and results in
different circumstances.

• Research interviews: You may be asked to

present your research or thesis to a panel
of experienced researchers. Be prepared
to cite your research methods and
findings and answer questions about your
work.

We encourage you to ask questions during your

interview to learn more about ExxonMobil
careers as we learn more about you and your
qualifications.

The offer: what to expect

Typically our candidates meet with multiple

interviewers and managers during on-site
interviews. As a group, they will review your
resume and interview results and make a
recommendation to management. A manager
will review and confirm the hiring decision, and
your formal offer will be extended. Timing of
offers and next steps will vary by position and
location.
