On the job

ExxonMobil gives real meaning to the term 'training on the job'. Our new employees get straight down to work. We believe this is the quickest way to learn. You can always ask your co-workers if you have any questions. And you can always take the necessary training if you need additional knowledge and skills.

Job rotation

Job rotation is one of the cornerstones of management development at ExxonMobil. The way your career develops depends primarily on you and your performance. Your initial job will last from one to three years. The impression we get of you will help us find your next position in the ExxonMobil organization. Your job will continue to increase in weight and your tasks will become increasingly complex and important.

Wide view

All our managers started at ExxonMobil immediately after they graduated. They climbed to the highest levels through a process of continuous job rotations, good supervision, internal development and increasing responsibilities. The ExxonMobil managers of tomorrow must have a broad view of our organization, both in terms of content and geography.

International

ExxonMobil is active all over the world and has countless international affiliates, where you could be assigned. Look on www.exxonmobil.com to see in which countries we are active.

Supervision and assessment

How are things? This is something you will hear a lot during your first two years with us, both informally and formally. Every six months, you will meet with your supervisor to discuss your responsabilities and your performance. Do you still enjoy the work or do you miss certain skills to help you carry out the tasks even better? We will draw up a personal training and development plan and determine your salary increase on the basis of this interview.

Your performance will be evaluated annually after you have completed two years with us. This will determine your opportunities and potential. At ExxonMobil you have a great deal of control over your career. Show us what you can do and we will reward your initiative.

Training

You will encounter three forms of training during your career. First, there is the general formative training, such as introductory courses for new employees. Then there is training that focuses on your personal skills, such as those of presentation, communication and persuasion. And finally, there is always the possibility of acquiring knowledge that will benefit you in your daily work.
