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

ALL THE BEST IN UR SRD @Pendrotech and Omoabe

@ 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

People that think Muslims are NOT in support of BOKO HARAM are simply not informed. ALL MUSLIMS, THAT I KNOW ARE VERY HAPPY WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE KILLED. I WILL EXEMPT SOME FROM THE SOUTH BUT IN THE NORTH, IT IS NORMAL FOR MUSLIMS TO COME OUT REJOICING WHEN CHRISTIANS DIE. THAT IS IF THEY ARE NOT THE ONES DOING THE KILLINGS IN THE NAME OF SOME DESECRATED ARABIC WRTING. BOKO IS AN ISLAMIC POLITICAL TOOL GONE WRONG DUE TO THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS. THE FOOL THAT IS REJOICING ON THIS FORUM IS JUST ONE AMONG MILLIONS AND THIS ONE HAS EVEN GONE TO SCHOOL(ATLEAST HE CAN TYPE) CAN YOU IMAGINE THE UNEDUCATED MAJORITY AND WHAT THEY WILL BE TELLING YOU TO YOUR FACE? WE LIVE IN THE NORTH AND THIS OUR REALITY HERE. TO HELL WITH ALL THE PROPAGANDA.

[size=20pt]HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY NAIRALANDERS! GOD WILL GRANT US ALL THE GOOD DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS!! YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESSES SHALL CHANGE TO SOMETHING LIKE: passey.favour@shell.com.... 2015 cometh with much blessings and favour for all...[/size]

Phd scholarship or oil and gas mnc job? how will you choose

You got NITDA phd scholarship and employment with a major oil company. how will make your choice? candid advice pls. May God give us such interesting problems.

Omaobe:
I wish u the very best outcome from your SRD. But I will like u to share ur experience now unconditionally. You know that could help someone out there?

Besides, when did u av your phone interview and when did they contact u abt d outcome?

Thanks for your wishes, bros, Dont worry I will share every bit of my experience but I prefer to give the whole thing. I want to tell the story of my experience completely, so let the process run its course. No matter what the outcome is I'll share with all you my brothers. After all I got much support from this blessed forum.

I had my SRD at Eko hotel in Lagos on the 4-5 November, 2014. It was wonderful experience. I must state that Shell's recruitment process is very fair and transparent. There were six of us and Shell staff always encouraged us to do our best stating that all of us could be successful. They provided every support you needed to do well in the SRD. So those who applied should be positive. I will share my experience fully when I get the offer letter which will be soon. NEVER GIVE UP FOR ANY REASON WHATEVER, " To him that is joined with the living, THERE IS HOPE!!!" by t he way, my status still reads " FINAL ASSESSMENT SCHEDULED"

God will bless us with His favour this year!!! Keep on keeping on!

Johnzzy: M.Sc, why?

because all the phd candidates i knw did nt get text.

Johnzzy: bros, wrong assumption. I ended the test, saw 60, and they sent the score to my phone o.

did u apply for phd or msc?

papyrus2: What was your scores? I believe almost everyone got the text

i believe dat had txts sent to them did not end d test themselves so thier scores were sent to them. i ended the test go 52, what did u get?

papyrus2: Am sure you got a text from nitda with your test scores,

no i didn't get any txt mssg from nitda. i only saw my result after d test. did they send text to all that wrote the test?

I heard informally frm sombody in Chams City dat NITDA was unhappy wt d result of d Phd test wc they said was too poor(only abt 5% got up to 50) d result wll soon be out

When is the result/ list of successful candidates coming out?

What is the latest on the aptitude test written btw 11-13 june 2014? any update
