It must be Shell Rwanda not Shell Nigeria, anyway, your friend can contest for the president of Nigeria, he is still very qualified.
Buhari no be so?

FriedPlantain:
You guys should stop deceiving yourself, except you have a very strong connection with the top most management or you are ready to be employed as a gateman or clerk, there is no way a big multinational oil and Gas company like Shell would employ you with just a pass with no added certifications

This must be a joke! I know of a classmate with a pass and he now works with an A-list oil and gas servicing company without any added qualification,he did not even stayed up to two months at home after service year. 2010 till date,he's a bigboy now. I don't want to go into details. God factor is paramount. Shikena!

Bros in response to your question, it is very possible & doesn't have to be through connections as some people believe. What you need to understand first & foremost is that when it it comes to jobs that requires practical skills/knowledge such as engineering, electrical, mechanical, Instrumentation etc. Those with practical experience are mostly favored despite what ever degree he/she might posses cus one it saves the company time/money to start giving a fresher (inexperienced) orientation,training etc and gets the job done immediately. Also note that in the jobs i mentioned there are no rooms for trial & error cus this might lead to unwanted expenses & waste of precious man hours.
Shell like you mentioned employs a lot of personnel either through indirect (contractors) or direct labour (shell). They both are classified as shell staffs but the difference is that most privileges given to direct employed shell staffs are not given to those employed by contractors. The summary is that your friend could be working for shell but might not be a direct staff & as per his pass degree, he might have gone ahead to acquire some additional skills which is what the company where looking for + God's favor i rest my case...

we are still saying the same thing bro; all still boils down to connection and how well he networks himself.
