Halliburton isn't an oil company, but we do work very closely with oil companies. Halliburton is an energy services company. Oil companies contract our services, our people and our technologies to help them produce and maintain their oil and gas wells. When hydrocarbons are located, we drill to determine if oil and gas can be produced. If a well is determined to be viable, then we begin production. Throughout the life of the field, we ensure that our customers get optimal production rates. All of the services we provide help our customers meet the world's demand for energy.

What we do:

To get a better idea of what we do and how we fit into the industry, imagine that the oil company wants a house built, not an oil well drilled. In that case, it would hire various contractors to perform different aspects of the job – someone to handle the plumbing, someone to do the painting, someone to lay the bricks, and so on.

In the real world, because the oil companies are trying to develop oil reservoirs, they hire energy services companies to help them:

•  Locate oil and gas assets
•  Evaluate their assets
•  Drill wells
•  Produce the oil from the wells
•  Make sure the wells produce as much oil as possible.

Because Halliburton is such a large and diverse organization, we perform all of these jobs. We have different groups – called product service lines – that handle each task.

Halliburton does have an internship program and it is very important to us because it helps us develop a "reservoir" of pre-graduation candidates who possess the potential to support our business needs. We've tried to develop the program in such a way that it gives you a chance to work on meaningful projects, expand your technical business and leadership skills, and, most of all, gain the practical skills and experience that can help you succeed in your field and perhaps eventually help you become a full-time member of the Halliburton team.

We offer internships in a number of different areas of the Company, including finance and accounting, engineering, supply chain and information technology (IT). Most of the internships take place during the summer, but we also offer co-op positions during the year. Our open internship positions are posted on your campus career center's Web site, where you can apply online.

There are two possible reasons why you would receive an “Invalid File Format” message when trying to attach a document to your profile in Hal.jobs.

1. You have special characters (such as periods, comma, forward and back slashes) within your file name. For example, a file name of John A. Smith's resume.doc would return an error message because of the period after the A and the apostrophe in the last name. You would need to rename the document and remove these characters.
2. The document extension (type of document) is not acceptable within Hal.jobs. The system accepts .doc, .docx, .txt, .pdf, and .jpg extensions.

Halliburton only handles employment offers and other related matters through its global Web site, www.gohalliburton.com, and through contact with our recruiters, who have e-mail addresses ending with “@halliburton.com” or “@lgc.com”. Any communication that comes from a different e-mail address is most likely false and did not originate from Halliburton. Halliburton also does not require any prospective employee to pay any application or filing fee to any private party or agency to process or review employment offers.

If you have been requested to pay or have actually paid any application or filing fee in connection with this fraudulent employment offer, we would appreciate any information you may have concerning the location, identity, or e-mail address of the payment recipient. If possible, please send a copy of the original fraudulent e-mail as an attachment so Halliburton can attempt to research its origin.  Halliburton will use this information to help remove such fraudulent websites, where possible.  However, because Halliburton has no connection to the unauthorized website or fraudulent offer, Halliburton cannot retrieve any information or any money you may have provided in connection with such fraudulent offer.  You may also forward the message to Fraud.Report@Halliburton.com.

If you have sent money to the impersonator, you will need to contact your local law enforcement authorities and file a report with them in an attempt to retrieve your funds.

Please be advised that Halliburton does conduct extensive criminal background checks prior to the start of employment. We also require a mandatory drug screening as part of the selection process.

For support professionals who are working in our offices rather than in the field, relocation may not necessarily be a requirement, but a willingness to relocate can advance your career much faster. For field engineers, a willingness to relocate during the initial years is essential. Work locations vary according to the needs of our customers, which means that you can work in different locations and environments as frequently as every two years. We currently have opportunities for entry-level field engineers in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.

The amount of training you receive will vary based on your job. Our field engineers, for example, receive comprehensive classroom and on-the-job training and are mentored by highly experienced engineers early in their careers. But how long it lasts and exactly when it takes place depends on the product service line you're assigned to. Generally speaking, training for field engineers can last anywhere from six months to one year. For people working in one of our support organizations, training, again, varies according to the position, but will, in most cases, take place on the job.

Other Entry-Level Training Programs

Accounting offers an Accounting Rotation Program that enables select new hires to spend their first eight weeks rotating through four or five Accounting functions. This rotation enables participants to gain a better understanding of the various departments and to learn how each functions within the Company, and to gain exposure to some of the numerous opportunities available within the Finance organization.

Supply Chain offers very select new graduates an opportunity to participate in the Supply Chain Management Program (SCMP). This innovative 2½-year program gives participants the opportunity to rotate through five six-month assignments in different Supply Chain functional groups across the globe. The SCMP candidates are given high-value, high-impact projects to provide them with broad exposure to Halliburton's $4 billion Supply Chain organization. This program puts graduates on the fast track to leadership roles within Halliburton and international assignment opportunities.

Business Development offers select new hires the opportunity to participate in the Field Associate Program. This program provides a broad operational view of Halliburton's product service line offerings, and it has the specific goal of providing the trainee with a working knowledge of the processes, basic job procedures, operational factors, personnel functions and customer response at the point of delivery. Once the 18-month to 24-month rotational program is completed, trainees have the opportunity to advance into positions within our Sales and Operations departments.
 
Ongoing Learning and Development Opportunities

Throughout your tenure with Halliburton, we will supplement that training with ongoing learning and development opportunities. You'll have access to numerous tools and resources to help you multiply and expand your competencies and to develop your career, including:

• I Learn – an online training management system that offers more than 3,700 active courses to assist employees in their professional and personal development
• The Halliburton Educational Assistance Program – where applicable, this program pays for or reimburses a portion of fees related to job-related workshops, offsite seminars, courses taken at accredited educational institutions, and other programs targeted to improve your skills and performance.

The amount of travel required depends on the position you hold, but there is at least some travel required for almost every position for which we're hiring. For example, you may be required to travel to receive training, and, at some point, you may even have to travel to give training, to assist on a project or to meet with a client. In some cases, this means traveling internationally. Again, a willingness to travel or relocate is helpful for your career advancement.
