Hey

if you're trying to read for shell's tests then go to www.shl.com where you can get samples of the tests free of charge.

SHL is a uk company that designs all shell's tests so i don't know how coach 5 has the tests in these booklets,

My advice - go to the website and pratice other pshycometric tests ( free) and you'll be fine.

Wish you all the best.

Cheers

RANBAXY:

IT has being a lot of paper works, signing documents, e.t.c. all the same its a place to be. we at ELV re yet to realy identify ourselves, but i do hope with time we will know each other. for those still waiting to be employed please, keep your faith in God, there is nothing God can't do. just start see your self in that plac u want to be . what u think is what u get. AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART SO BE IT. wHAT You CANT SEE(immaging) You can't geT IT. God told Abraham what u see it what u get, it is not possible for abraham to see all the land with physical eye., but spiritual eye. keep your faith alive. we now have access to the nent.

A big Amen to that,

there really is NOTHING God cannot do, keep having faith and trusting God, there's nothing God cannot do.

So you guys will be unveiling and unmasking that should be fun,

" Hi my name is , but you might know me as Ranbaxy"

would love to see and know who people really are, so when we bump into eachother within shell walls it won't be like bumping into a total stranger.

Its so amazing the way time flies,

Yesterday i was applying to shell and fretting over my srd,

and today,

Today a whole new next generation of shell hopefuls is about to emerge

Suddenly there are so many shell threads now, sometimes i think we should rename ourselves

shell - the present generation LOL

Seriously though i can't help wondering how long this thread will survive

and if it will survive,

my main question is what will be the purpose of keeping it alive in the days ahead

Before it was a way to inform people who had to go for interviews

Then it was a way for us to join our faith together and pray that God would open the door to Shell for us

Now what will be the purpose

Keeping in touch

Remaining hopeful for the few remaining shell hopefuls??

an avenue to while away time

A thread to inform the upcoming next generation of shell employees

Or just something we have been doing a long time and gotten pretty used to


For me

I enjoy writing on this thread,


I actually look forward to it,

I guess when you write stuff that lots of people will be reading, you know that your words could go along way to whoever is reading them


Encourage a tired job hunter,

Encourage a faithless unemployed graduate,

Change the mind set of someone who thinks a Job would define them

So for me writing on this thread has been a wonderful experience,

I encouraged myself through other people's words and i encouraged others the best way i could.

All i can say is

whether these be the last days of this thread

OR the birth of a new thread with a new direction

It was worth it all through the way

I enjoyed the nairaland shell waiting days

And i met a lot of great people here ( though a lot of masks are still yet to be unveiled)

It has indeed been a fulfilling journey

Thank you all


PS This isn't a goodbye message, sooooo you ELV people una done get internet connection ohhhh, no excuses, so drop a word sometime


Cheers

tunene:

dear shellites,

na wa o, its unbelievable that you guys just threw away this forum just like that. I was thinking that peolpe preparing for their resumptionshould share with us how it has been.

well for its been work, work and work, you wont even believe that I am yet to resign now. anyway by April 1 I must be in Edjeba whether or whethern't.

I was contenplating how the resumption was going to be especially for us coming from Lagos, so I mailed Ifidon, I must confessed that was the fastest reply I have ever recieved after sending an official mail.

His reply, we said there are people waiting for us on April 1, and not earlier, and they will be there till late in the night. I think that clears the issue of whether to resume two days before or seven days before or two days after.

FOR BEHOLD I HAVE TOLD YOU HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR.

SEE YOU IN EDJEBA.


Hi guys

couldn't get a single post in because of my internet connection.

Tunene, you are so right about people forgetting about this thread

you guys have been MIA

oh well i guess everyone is busy packing, getting ready

you know the drill

So i see you left resigning till the last minute, you must really enjoy working LOL

Anyway i hope we'll be hearing more from you and all " shellites" when you guys get to ELV

Hello Everyone,

Happy Easter to you all. Though Easter sunday has past, we are still
celebrating that wonderful day upon which christianity has its form deeply rooted.

Easter is the reason for christianity. It is the celebration of the ressurection of our lord.
Such amazing love, that our king died for us.

Our God is an awesome God. like I said before, it is in our weekness he shows his strength.
I just did my MEDICALS on Tuesday. I got invited for it when I least expected it.

House, we really have to put all our faith in God. He is the perfect master. He gives us what we NEED
at the right time, his time.

I'm so happy for you Mileu,
i take it you are for sitp right!!!!!!

Thats what i call record time,
goes to show God always shows up at the right time

Congrats ohhh,
really happy for you
especially as you had faith all the way,

Welcome to shell my brother!

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 9:05pm On Mar 24, 2008
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO everybody

I'm certainly in a very good mood today, i just feel i have wonderful reasons to be happy for my life,

thinking of easter and what it symbolises in my life - our lives,
the fact that we would not be
if he didnt let us be
by dying
and giving up all he had
He is the reason for everything
for living
for breathing

I think and i believe that that is enough reason to be happy,
enough reason to sing shout praise and dance

I actually feel like screaming,
only i am alone in my room and if i scream, well people in my house plus my neighbours would think i have gone crazy

Speaking of crazy , anyone heard Mercy Me's Crazy
I am so loving that song right now!

I'll share the words with you all

CRAZY
Why would i spend my life longing for the day that it would end
Why would i spend my time pointing to another man
isnt that crazy
How can i find hope in dying
with promises unseen
How can i learn your way is better
than everything i am taught to be
isn't that crazy

I have not been called
to the wisdom of this world
But to a God that's calling out to me
Even though the world may think
I am losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world
Over eternity

If I boast let me boast
in flithy rags made clean
if i glory let me glory
in my saviour's suffering
Isnt that crazy
As i live this daily life
i trust you for everything
i will humbly take a step when i feel you leading me
Isnt that crazy

You can call me crazy
Call me Crazy


Anyway i love the words of the song, really deep and all

To my dear nairalanders
it doesn't matter what the world calls you,
let them call you crazy, jobless, desperate,
All that really matters is what he calls you,


All ELV bound people i wish you all the best in packing up your bags, need any help just hola, lol

guys!
please can anyone help me wit info
hope u get d shell job
please i will like to know how u applied
n what were d requirements?
2.1 n above
u no that kind of stuff


Hi Onizzzy
sorry i am just replying
you know theres alot of excitement here, so theres a tendency for people to forget to reply you.

Well about shell's recruitment, they usually advertise in the newspapers when they are recruiting especially their engineering positions which comes in the form of SITP.

For non- technical roles or commercial roles, these are also made public or done through recruitment agencies.

I have also heard of a few people who put up cv's in shell's website and got calls, i don't know how true that is but i don't think that would really hurt if you tried that.

How ever you get your application through to the hr, if you qualify they will invites you for an aptitude test ( although i know some people who didn't have tests but just had straight interviews) after which if you are successful you get to go for srd shell's recruitment day - a very interesting interview process which is in the form of an assessment centre.

For qualifications, well i know that shell takes people with 2.2 I'm not sure if theres any added thing you need like a professional qualification or something if you have a 2.2 but i know they take 2.2 sometimes, but generally you find more people with 2.1's and above.

Speaking of applying to shell i saw an ad in one of the threads, if you are interested in finance and economics you can try to apply for it , i think its to close on the 21st of April.

All the best onizzzy hope i was able to help you a bit.

Cheers
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Schlumberger Aptitude Test by RobbieLex: 4:55pm On Mar 23, 2008
You guys are really funny,

Anyway engrbrume i know that the engineering test is in three sections.
Mechanical
saptial
Maths

I heard that its really technical too, with all them further maths kind of questions. Unfourtunately i am not an engineer and so i can't exaclty give you a broad description of the test but atleast i can give you this little information to start with first.

I wish you all the best in your test.

Happy sunday all

its been a very lonely and rather dull few days in the house, everyone is missing shaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i wonder why?

I'm guessing the easter holiday, because i know shell hopefuls always have something to talk about sooooo we cannot have run out of words just yet.

To all ELV bound people i guess you all are preparing alot and must be mega excited, wish you all could atleast share that, something to bring in some spice into this very quiet house.

Anyway my easter holiday so far has been very fufilling, i belive God has given me a special easter gift already i can just feel it.

Miss you all shell hopefuls, please drop a word or something, this house is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to quiet for me, lol

Happy easter all.

8 days to go

Hi guys

so sorry haven't checked this thread in ages

anyway my advice is that you call them up just incase they have misplaced your file or something, i actually didnt wait for them. You should try to get your hands on a direct line, really wish i could help you with that but i can't exactly give out a number on this forum, so my advice is if you have a friend that works there you could try to get a direct line for one of the hr ladies from them.


Cheers all
and happy easter

Ma brother, that could be done in english no matter the topic

I'm still curious to know what type of information would really require that one speaks his local lanugauge in a professional environment


Me toooo, thats the question i tried to get Mike to answer,

i mean no matter the topic , you ought to remain professional in a professional environment.

Maybe if Mike could give us an example, then we'll see things from his perspective

Miketomi:

But come to think of it, if one is not so careful in the Oil & Gas producing company, u may not know much especially the technical aspect. I blv every hardworking and serious minded individuals has what it takes to become a professional

in summary i think there are two broad categories of Nigerian workers.

Those who are over worked

And those who become redundant ( this is the category where a lot of oil workers usually fall into)


Then there is the very small category of people who actually become professional at their jobs, who actually make out time for personal development irrespective of whatever industry they fall into.

Like you said it takes hardwork and being serious minded to fall into this category.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Shell Nigeria - The Next Generation by RobbieLex: 9:30pm On Mar 17, 2008
Miketomi:


there are certain information that are better understood if given in dialects.

I for one , am midway between the two, but am often conscious not to make others feel uncomfortable when speaking my dialect.

It's good that you consciously try not to make people fell uncomfortable, i know how i feel when people just break into their lanuguage - it's an impolite way of indirectly saying "it's not your business".

I'm curious to know what type of information would really require that one speaks his local lanugauge in a professional environment

Hi guys

hope you all had swell weekends, been a little under the weather for a while and out of circulation, sorry about that jare. I see yemhosky answered our call and finally dropped a word. Good to have you back men, i thought you had completely exed our side ohhhhh.


On the oil company's debate, I really do not have facts as such, but with my little experience with mobil i realised that
There's a little bit of the Nigerian factor present in the company, though my experience with them was really brief and may be to short to reach a strong conclusion but i PERSONALLY think Shell is a lot more professional than mobil, i hear Total also scores really high in professionalism, but in terms of pay and incentives i don't know for sure which is a better option.

I don't think the yoruba factor is an issue, i am not yoruba but i tend not to look at tribes as a big issue, we are all one nigeria jare, and if mobil takes people on merit and yoruba's come out tops then there is no reason why yoruba's should not dominate the company,

though i am not a fan of language speaking at work and i know yoruba's over love their lanuguage, but still it's not cool to speak in any languauge people around you cannot understand when you are in a professional environment,

For me the choice of company depends on what's important to you as an individual, and where God wants you to be.

People do extremely well in most of these oil companies and at the same time lots of people get redundant and don't really have any career growth and stuff. So it depends on who you are and what you want to get from where you are.

KDB:

hey guys, come to think of it, i had a little dilemma a couple of months back, pretty much about the same issue, jus as i had been called for my medicals with shell, two days later i got a call for medicals with mobil, after my service wit mobil (sept last yr), i had an interview n was told it would be for contract, kind of happens they changed their minds n wanted to employ me, after days n nights of thinkin n askin peeps i eventually ''stayed on this thread'' if you know what i mean, lol smiley grin grin

but ultimately i'd say it be up to you, i guess i was jus lucky enough to hav had experience with both companies which was vital, n it so happened my heart was always with shell,

Hmmmmmm seems we have a lot of hot cakes on this thread.

KDB - mobil shell
Deionowei - agip shell

So kdb what was the key deciding factor for you,
so many people faced in similar situations would always look for the one that pays higher, obviously you didnt,

So why did you eventually choose shell instead of mobil?
