I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Freeport-McMoRan in Apr 2011
Interview
They called the wrong number to tell me I got the job. Luckily it was my daughter's phone number so I got the message. I interned there the summer before so I did not have to interview for this position. The intern interview included more life history questions then actual geology questions.

Very clear and you have enough time to prepare. 6 questions in total. A lot of questions about teamwork and safety. They use HireVue for the first part of interview.
