Is it Aramco practice to send rejection letters or notes to applicants who were interviewed but not successful? Or if someone doesn't hear anything, he can assume rejected?
It has been 19 days since my interview and just want to know what to expect.

Hi I believe you are notified either way. I was successful and received a call but I was recruited from the UK and this could differ from other places, position applied for etc. From my experience which is relatively new...patience is a must as things can progress slowly throughout the process but then again this can vary from person to person. Sorry I am unable to be more specific.

I know how you feel, its 20 for me, I interviewed on the 3rd at the talent quest with a prescheduled interview. I was told id here something within a week, but nothing yet. Everything I hear is patience, I know that's easier said than done. Good luck to you, and ill post if I hear anything.

I had to wait for 5 months between the interview and my offer. Don't quit your job after the interview, and have patience!! :-)
Good luck!

It's been 3 weeks for me since the Feb Job Fair and I was told 2 weeks. Is 2 weeks a minimum waiting period?
Is a longer waiting period a good sign or bad sign?

Your two weeks was a hopeful, but most time lines are longer than that. A few make it in 2 weeks, but not many. Patience will be the key for you as you go through the entire process of coming to work for Aramco.

Would calling ASC in Houston be helpful at this point in time? Or, would it be better to let things play out?
The poster in the other thread who thought the 150 offers have already gone out puts a damper on my evening. Let's hope we all get chosen in the second round.

BDB, people are still being hired. Do keep in touch with your contact at ASC. Every couple of weeks is regular contact without being too much, I would think.

This whole time, I've been of the mind that I interviewed but got nobody's contact information. That has left me feeling marginalized because it makes me seem desperate if I just call the ASC office. But I just remembered that the Houston HR Staffing Consultant that forwarded me to the interview panel did have business cards on her table, but I was not sitting there long enough to grab one. Perhaps I should have been more bold and reached for one.
Does anybody else, in their experience, consider that card grabbing opportunity the same as "getting contact info" at the job fair? Were you expressly given the contact info of a person, and were you told to use it? Or did you just grab a card from the HR desk prior to or after the interview?
I think I'm going to call the office (and ask for the HR person who forwarded me on) and see if I could get an answer to a quick question I have. This might also settle my question as to should I continue to wonder if I'm still in the running for anything. But if I can't get that, then the answer to my other general question will be worth it.
Thanks people for your perspective, especially yours, Ms. Painter.

Thank you for your kind words and for using the forum.
Taking a business card when it is on display on the desk is acceptable practice.
Many people have not gotten a contact person. Most hear back from someone eventually (said like that because everyone's hiring process time is different).

Well I got the nerve to call ASC in Houston and ask to speak to the HR rep for the hiring panel that interviewed me. She stated that the offers from that group came in and my name was not in them.
It has been a great feeling of relief. Not that I can't work there (because I'm not giving up yet). But I no longer have to quell thoughts of Saudi Aramco. I no longer have to check my email with that brief rush that occurs while I anticipate a correspondence while waiting for the mail to show on the screen. I was able to really focus on my family and household duties this weekend. And at work, I'm not distracted either.
That said, I'm going to spend some effort acquiring some of the skills that would have gotten my foot in the door. It may take 6 months, or a year, but I'm not giving up. And the HR Consultant told me to apply for any and all jobs on the site that are still up there that I might be interested in. She said that resumes that come in after the Talent Quest dust has settled do get looked at and offers definitely do go out throughout the year.
So I did not offend or bother her by calling. She was very nice about it and encouing. Do what works for you, but quashing that hope was a great thing for me in the here and now. It's up to me to create a new basis for hope. And if it doesn't work out, my current life in Texas is still full of things I appreciate all the more.

o there Gotfour well as strange as it might sound I think some congratulations are in order for at least getting a definitive No. I can fully understand the feeling of relief and maybe even release. You talk about acquiring some other skill that would help your application. Does that mean that you got some feed back. With your skill set can you realistically apply for a range of jobs at Aramco. My reading of its operations suggests most of the roles are particular and specialised although I have to admit I am not an Oil and Gas professional. I am on hold and still waiting for someone to say something months after having an interview. Good luck for the future. |
