The phone-based competency interview is generally carried out by one or two members of the HR team, and is focused around previous experience and achievements. The interview reportedly lasts around 45 minutes, and is fairly relaxed and discussion-based rather than formal and structured. Previous questions have included: Why do you want to work for BP? Which other companies have you applied to? What goals have you set for yourself and achieved? Describe your role in a team project that you have been involved in.
