Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation

yup i feel you, was only just pulling your legs jare!



I wouldn't say shell's process is flawed because of ethnicity, i just believe the recruitment process is only a reflection of the country we live in.

Ethnicity is a very important part of Nigeria, and this division shows its head from the day you write common entrance, sit for jamb examinations to get into university, receive scholarships in university, and continues straight through to the process of getting a job.There is always one form of quota system rooted firmly on ethnicity, while this may not seem very healthy it's a necessary evil to achieving a form of balance in the country and it will keep on being an important part of the country for some time to come.

 It would be almost impossible for a multinational (especially one that has its operations  tied down to the vital part of Nigeria's economy- oil )operating in Nigeria who will not take the peculiarities of the Nigerian environment into consideration.

Rather than say flawed, I'd say it is aware of the Nigerian factor and really for any organisation to be successful it has to incorporate the environment into its overall corprate strategy, which of course involves its human resource strategy. Call it unfair but yeah people from the Niger delta will be given some sort of preference, either in the number of people they hire, or less stringent requirements,

so i wouldn't be shocked or surprised if texxazpete says they have more western people in his programme


I disagree with you on this, i doubt if ongoing restructuring has anything to do with wanting to hire more people from the west,  from what i understood it was purely efficiency driven, shell is trying to streamline jobs through its ONE Shell project, which of course is an off shoot of the vandalising of their vessels, Niger delta crises, debts owed to suppliers and a series of other things

But of course people within the walls of shell will have a clearer and firmer grasp on the situation, but even then people's opinions generally differ on the subject,

guess we just have to wait and see how the story unfolds.

I know the feeling jare, atleasy you sitp folks have had some form of feedback, we hr/fin folks are just hanging jare,

but what can we do, but wait and pray of course, everything is in God's hands and what is meant to be will be, i tend to think that way these days because it helps me worry less about things, if not i for don die with hypertension on top waiting for shell, lol

I can just imagine the tension you must be going through especially now that people have gotten offer letters and even rejection letters, but just keep having faith and believing in God, at this point that's the best thing to do.

Take it easy angela and whatever happens just know that God indeed knows best.

Cheers

You can turn up in boxers if you want. Just focus on what you're to do: learn.

please, is there anyone who's done the medicals who's still waiting for the offer letter. i seem to be in a peculiar position. i did my medicals last two weeks today but i've not gotten any feedback yet.

Abeg,texazzpete make u tell us wetin dey happen concerning we wey never hear from Shell as per medicals. U know whether them go still call? This na d only help wey we fit get from u

Lol i can just imagine this happening, 

that will be the day!

@ House
 I was invited for Halliburton test in PH, i was wondering what to do, since i already made to shell.

don't know but been hearing some funny stuff of late, their actually some peeps who've done their medicals like two - three weeks now and havnt heard anythin from shell, as you would imagine their pretty worked up, any of y'all in the same situation?? n if so why d'you think its like that?

in case that site aint giving you anything reasonable then you might want to try www.phillipsconsulting.net, thats their website n you should see the advert on mobil oil on the main page,
