Plz is there any1 with technical role that has been scheduled for interview or SRD. Kindly let us know. Thanks.

Congrats to you guys, I'm happy for y'all.
2015 is gonna be a great year for us by God's Grace, amen.

From what I understand about the SRD, all you have to do is, just be the best you. No fast rules, you will be prepd there, be a good team player, be attentive, be able to relate and be relatable, be confident and demonstrate capacity and potentials.

Ours is on the way. See you at the top!

Omaobe:
Should there be anyone with additional tips on how to excel at d SRD, please do share with me. Please, don't hesitate to do so as my SRD has been scheduled to January 15, 2015. Thank you all so much as I await your responses.

@ Pendrotech and Omaobe, Please accept my congratulations for making it to the SRD.
This is the much I can tell you without compromising the integrity of the recruitment process:

1. Ensure that you acknowledge the receipt of the invitation and inform them if you can make it or not. Shell is one of the most organised companies and they will need this info. to prepare for your SRD.
2. The dress code is formal Business dress code. so a good conservative color suit should suffice, even though shell says they do not asses dressing.
3. Plan to be at the venue of the SRD in good time. if you can find an accommodation close to the venue, that will be the best for you.
4. There is no specific academic way to prepare for the SRD so don't listen to people telling you that they have past questions and stuff, all na lie.
5. The recruiters(at least from my experience) are nice, helpful but very professional. They sabi their work wella), so the most important thing is to be yourself, don't try to form guru or try to impress anybody, they can see through your mask.
6. on the first day, you will have a non- assessed session where you will have the opportunity to meet recent shell grads, that is employees of not more that three years or so. you will get the chance to ask them anything you want to ask them about shell, working condition and all but please professional don't ask questions you should not ask... find out what that is. of course shell dey provide coorrect grub but don't get carried away, you are on business.
7. The recruitment process is tough, educating, enlightening, and demanding so you have to try to be at the top of your game.
8. The world process is centred round CAR. you should understand that by now!
9. Practice your e-tray from the link in the briefing pack.
10. I don't know if you are tech or commercial but there will definitely be a group exercise where you will be put together and given a task to work on as a group. Be yourself, respect other people, speak up if you have something to say, you must speak up because unless you talk there will be nothing to assess you on. BUT don't talk for talking sake, no gra-gra, sabi-sabi.... I recommend you watch my favorite reality show (NO BE STUPID, BIG BROTHER DUMB SHIT), watch Donald Trump's THE APPRENTICE, seriously.
11. there will be an intervie like the one you had on the phone interview, so prepare to demonstrate your CAR
12. I DON'T CARE IF SHELL GIVES ME A JOB OR NOT (I KNOW I DESERVE IT AND WILL DEFINITELY ADD VALUE TO SHELL, IF EMPLOYED) BUT I WANT TO SAY WITHOUT FEAR OF CONTRADICTION THAT THEIR RECRUITMENT PROCESS IS WORLD CLASS AND THE VERY BEST SO FAR I HAVE SEEN. SO DON'T GO THERE FLAUNTING YOUR FIRST CLASS, HALF CLASS AND STUFF....NO ...NO...NO... SHELL LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR "EDUCATION" AND NEVER YOUR "QUALIFICATION". As long as you are at the SRD, it doesn't matter which school you attended. I was the only one in my SRD without an Overseas degree but (to the glory of God, NA YOLA I GO SCHOOL FOR NORTH, AM FROM THE NORTH TOO) I know I have a world class education and was among the ones God favored with success at the SRD.
13. You will be given a background document on the first day which you are required to study over the night. The whole SRD processes, Case studies, group exercise, will be based on that background.
14. Be prepared to learn from the experience because it is great and you can't find it in any Nigerian recruitment institution. No god father here just YOU AND YOURSELF.
15. FINALLY BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IN PERFECT CONTROL OF ALL THE HAPPENINGS IN THE UNIVERSE AND BE PATIENT AFTER THE SRD COS even if you succeed you may not get the JOB immediately or even eventually(I learnt this from some people, don't know if true or false)

16.Shell recruitment process will surely introduce YOU to YOU!!!
17. keep a link and make friends from the SRD who knows if God just wanted you to meet someone there and not a job at shell?

18.. I will be praying for you ALL and if you have any questions PM your boy, I still remain loyal(Don't ask me specific questions or past questions and such nonesense)


19. change your usernames to: omaobe@shell.com and pendrotech@shell.com because you will definitely be my colleagues in SHELL....

20. PRAY... PRAY.... PRAY....

peace and luv

Me Passey, May the almighty God bless you and your family. I am shocked that you can spend so much time to help people you don't even know. I thank God for Naira land also for creating the avenue.

all your advise has been taken and I profess that me and my Economics brother will become shell staffs....Amen

I studied MechanicalEngineering.

Thank you Mr Passey, thank you Nairaland, Thank you God

All the best @ d srd. Expecting mine.

were you guys sent a mail for the process?

crudedude:

yes.

I applied for a commercial role. Status says pending interview ever since and yet people are scheduled for SRD's already.Now i'm worried

Your worry is normal and quiet understandable. But I wud tell u not to worry at all. Just take a chill pill as pple commonly say here. From my own experience, 'Pending Interview' shows that u'r sti very much in d race, a step ahead and you wi surely b scheduled for d interview one day. I wish all of us successes at our various stages.

Quick question, has anyone ever been scheduled for interview or even had their status change to pending interview without applying with a transcript? Seems transcript is a major factor in this shell race. Still application under review though

transcript is not a major factor. people get called without it

Pls o guys when I check resume or cv manager and click on view submission, it tells me my cv has not been submitted to any jobs yet my application has been under review for close to two months now. Does it mean that they have to submit your cv first? Pls to those that have had their interviews kindly help me to check

It probably means you submitted your application before uploading that particular C.V. Did you change your C.V after applying?

sufregs:


I know technical guys who have been scheduled

Oga are you sure.. Cos every technical pal I know still has the "application under review" status...
Kindly confirm your claim

Engineering is a technical discipline isnt it? I know someone who studied Electrical Engineering that has had his interview.
Moreover, didn't Pendrotech say he studied Mechanical Engineering?
Guy, na make we dey pray oh...

What one studied is quite different from the role one applied for. You can study Electrical Engineering and apply for a commercial role.

Now the question is, what role did they apply for (and not their course of study) ?

I can't even remember but I know I uploaded my cv that same day I applied. Do u think its gonna affect my application?

Valendo:

Just realised i have the same issue. tried to use the edit icon on my initial cv that i uploaded and now it shows my cv is not linked to any applications. God i hope this doesnt affect my application.

@ GenerousLord: You are on point! Let's be expectant! This tiny, small boy will work in Shell by God's special grace.

i clicked on edit profile on my account just now, i noticed that my work experience and education tab were in red and they had nothing information under them and this was not so when i applied initially.
has anybody noticed this?, also should i go ahead to fill the form again.

ALL THE BEST IN UR SRD @Pendrotech and Omoabe

Best of luck to those having SRD's

abeg Shell, anytime una feel sey una don tire to dey process my application, make una let me know

Hi all, does it mean no one did phone interview recently, if yes.. Share ur experience as it would encourage those applications still under review... Thanks

Lets keep this thread alive. The temporary silence from Shell should not kill the hope of the hopefuls.

Nothin much to be written tho. till more ppl get scheduled for SRD or we hear from those that have been there already
