Make sure that you know about the company before you go to the interview. This can help you to answer questions such as "What do you know about this company?" or "Why do you want to work here?", and may make it much easier to ask intelligent questions during the interview. It may also tell you if the company has problems
The global oil and gas industry is a unique and sophisticated industry. State-owned companies dominate exploration and production, referred to as "upstream services," while publicly owned companies dominate the refining and marketing aspects of the industry, or "down stream services."
Estimating the size of the world oil and gas industry is a difficult task. For instance, the state-owned companies do not issue stock, therefore they cannot be valued. In addition, variations in accounting standards and the lack of transparency with many state-owned firms, make it difficult to estimate the industry's actual revenues. Estimating the size of the oil and gas industry is much easier when evaluating the publicly owned firms.
In doing company research, one of the first sources to check for information is the company itself. Company web pages can be a wealth of information. There are several filings to which one should pay particular attention.
For financial information, go to Bloomberg's site: http://www.bloomberg.co.uk. You can also see a brief company profile and a few recent news stories. To find out more news articles about the company, type the company's name in quotation marks in the search box for Google News at: http://news.google.com.
