Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 2:42pm On Sep 24, 2012
This is a new thread for all Shell SRD Hopefuls.

I did my SRD on the 20th September 2012 and it was a wonderful experience.I heard the SRD for commercial graduates are still ongoing.

Does any fellow hopeful have any relevant information with regards this?

Please feel free to come in and share

King Ope,

My advise to you is to sleep plenty before that day.
Have an open mind.
Read your case study fast! Dis i say Fast, VERY FAST!!
Try to relax with your fellow candidates.Remember its not a competition.

Re: Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 1:08pm On Sep 25, 2012
----Case Study

This is the most difficult , to my mind. Good thing is that it was the first. You are given a scenerio - For example you are the project manager in a fictitious country, Working on a Shell project and you have a heap of info (emails, newspaper extracts etc to read through). There is likely to be some major issues you have to deal with (e.g community unrest, workers dissent, NGO pressure, goverment wahala etc). Your task will be to go tru the information and come up with


(a) The key issues (that can/may have the greatest impact on Shell' business

(b) Your strategy for dealing with these issues

You will discuss these issues and your strategy with 2 very senior Shell Managers

Key things they are looking for here, your ability to:
- Think out of the Box : Consider the big picture. Think about everything
- Identify the key issues, but with very good reasons
- Prepare a strategy which shows you have thought about every aspect
- articulate your thoughts verbally, with confidence.

Group Discussion

We were split first into groups of 2's (3 groups). Each group had brief's of 6 possible different projects, the group (of 2's) were to discuss merits and demerits of these projects and decide on two best projects to be undertaken by Shell in the host community. Each group of people decide on their 2 best projects (out of their 6). After this, the groups will be combined and each will make a case for their projects.

Key things they are looking for here, your ability to:
- be time concious
- Listen to other peoples opinions
- Urge quiet people to "talk"
- Balancing host community/govt need & Shell Strategic goals/ objectives

Re: Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 2:47pm On Sep 25, 2012
Ope, R u a commercial grad or a technical graduate.

I am a commercial graduate, so mine consisted of something close to the case study.
However for a technical grad it would consist of a technical presentation.

Revert back if you r a commercial grad so i can give u details.
Re: Shell SRD 2012 by KingOpe: 3:08pm On Sep 25, 2012
@kkmny

I am a commercial grad - chose Commercial as first preffered unit and Contracting and Procurement as my second.

Thanks.
Re: Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 4:23pm On Sep 25, 2012
Soory for the late response, Ope. I was having a meeting.

The last stage is composed of 2 areas:

Stage 1 - You will be given a list of functional business areas and asked to choose 1. Areas such as Finance, HR, Contracting, Marketing etc.
After you have chosen, You will be given a one page write up about an issue wrt the area chosen.You will then be given 15 mins to read it up and highlights the issues, proposed solutions, parties invloved and implications of the issues.
You will be ushered in to an interview where you will be asked various questions.keep an open mind, they can ask you anything. Anything at all.


Stage 2 - You will be asked to talk about a skill learnt and when you worked as a team.
questions will be asked around these too.

Please and Please keep an open mind and DO NOT BE TENSED UP, it can mess u up as on that day i saw grown men and women stammer away their chances just because they were irritably tensed up.

Anyway i trust you na.
Re: Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 4:28pm On Sep 25, 2012
Ope word of advice.

There is nothing to read up to prepare so dont even bother.So sleep well, eat right, watch football and just relax.

Re: Shell SRD 2012 by kkmny81: 12:47pm On Sep 26, 2012
Ope,

The questions are not tecnical they are just business related issues.Like everyday issues.
No financial reporting and nothing technical.
