      • Work/study professional training program: you divide your time between your company job and your educational institution according to a defined schedule. The length of this program varies from 6 to 24 months depending on your training course. You must obtain permission from the school.

      Apprenticeship contracts enable young people aged 16 to 25 to receive training that leads to a qualification. The apprentice divides his or her time between school and the company according to a defined schedule. Their lengths vary from 12 to 36 months depending on the training course.

      The VIE and VIS programs are open to European Union nationals under the age of 29:

      • VIE programs offer a professional assignment outside of France, with responsibilities and goals to fulfill. They vary in length from 12 and to 24 months and are relevant to technical professions and support functions (IT, HR, finance, marketing, commercial, etc.). Candidate mobility is essential since, as a rule, VIE offers are made based on the jobs available and the qualifications required and not necessarily based on country choice.
      • VIS programs give students or young graduates the chance to join research teams in university laboratories, research centers, nonprofits or public institutions. Private institutions are excluded from this program. In this type of volunteer program, the TotalEnergies Group acts as the sole financer or cofinancer of a VIS. The length of these assignments is flexible, ranging from 6 to 24 months, and they are renewable once within the 24-month limit.

      For more information on the conditions governing a VIE or VIS, visit the http://www.civiweb.com website.

    • Watch out for the fraudulent use of our identity!

      Watch out for the fraudulent use of our identity! If recruitment agencies contact you in our name and ask you for a financial contribution, please be aware that they do not work for TotalEnergies and this is considered a case of fraud. Partners authorized by TotalEnergies and its subsidiaries will never ask a candidate for remuneration or payment of any costs, regardless of the circumstances.

      These false agencies operate on recruitment platforms or via professional social networks. We report them as soon as possible to the moderators of the companies in question and encourage you to do the same.

    • Our job vacancies are posted in different languages based on the profile required or its country of origin.

      Our job vacancies are posted in different languages based on the profile required or its country of origin. We recommend that you respond in the language in which the offer is written. An application in a different language will not be processed.

    • Watch out for the fraudulent use of your identity!

      Watch out for the fraudulent use of your identity! Your user ID required for logging in to your candidate account on Careers website is strictly confidential. We will send you an email containing a password reset link only if you request it and we will never request for you to provide your password.

      If you receive an email or SMS requesting your user ID in the name of TotalEnergies or its subsidiaries, do not answer it. It is a message intended to obtain your user ID (phishing) or a cover for fraud.

    • If you can no longer access your Personal Account, there are three possible reasons:

      If you can no longer access your Personal Account, there are three possible reasons:

      • User ID error:
        • Please note that your User ID is always an email address, never an assumed name;
        • Try another email address if you use more than one;
        • Reenter your User ID manually, without using copy/paste or the autofill feature of a password manager.
      • Password error:
        • Reenter your password manually, without using copy/paste or the autofill feature of a password manager;
        • Careful: For security reasons, if you enter an incorrect password three times in a row, your account will be blocked for ten minutes. Each new error will result in a new ten-minute lockout. When your account is locked, the "password reset" function is not available.
        • If your account is temporary locked, wait ten minutes then click on "Forgot username or password? "
      • Preexisting candidate account:
        • When creating your Personal Account, if you receive a message indicating that it already exists, it means that your user ID (email) has already been entered into our database and that you are already registered. If you have forgotten your password, go to the “Resetting your password” of this FAQ.
        • It may also mean that you have already used this ID (email) to register on the Hutchinson recruitment website, a TotalEnergies subsidiary that shares our database. The same password can thus be used to access your Personal Account on the Careers website.

    • You can suspend or reactivate your application for a job vacancy at any time. 

      You can suspend or reactivate your application for a job vacancy at any time. Go to the “Track my applications” section in your Personal Account. Select the application that you wish to suspend or reactivate, and then click on the appropriate action button.

      Please be aware that the documents linked to an application (even if suspended) are permanently linked to it and thus cannot be edited.

      If you suspended your application for a job vacancy and it cannot be reactivated, it means that the selection process has progressed too far to apply again.
