KDB, I'm guessing you are a very private person right, you seem awfully keen on staying alone, lol

Oh and happy vals day people,

a little late for the wishes but hey its never to late to show someone some love,

Good night

cutesy:
.", Another Robbie Lex convert in the house!!!!" You suppose open church, Robbie Lex, LoL!(I couldn't resist it )

Lol cutesy you are really funny,

onavae:
meennn!! thanks a lot. i really need all that encouragement. i guess i am now an illegal member of this thread, since i am no longer hopeful
anyway, i will still stick around if u allow me, at least i still have friends here and i could still be of some help to other hopefuls.
someone asked what level i got to? i did the SRD, i was told that i did very well in the thechnical test, that my problem was in the CAR assessment, so all you hopefuls should be very careful in your CAR assessment.
i am still with u.

Question, ? theres no request for permission here, you are one of us, shell or no shell.
To think of all the numerous contributions, the words,the information and dedication you showed to this thread,

honestly you are what made people want to check what was going on in here, everyone always wanted to read what you had posted, i just stood at the side and posted stuff to make sure the thread didnt end up at the bottom of the page,

Great to have you around though, you have shown something alot of us should work hard to have, a positive attitude and the right spirit,

You are indeed a great man Onavae, and i'm glad that i met you!!!

somze:
Nice meeting you . . .

I have to commend you on this thread and your efforts so far. You've built a community here, you've given hope, and enabled information sharing. I know your reward is closer than you think, keep the faith.

Stay safe man.

Cheers!

.

I couldn't have done it without you all.
And i say a big Amen to that

Thanks man!

hmmmmmmm you must be in a really nice place somze, good for you
yeah the wait can be agonizing and dreadfully annoying
but what can we do,
we jobless men are more or less at the mercy of the few who control the labour market,

Nice meeting you my man,

Cheers

oh and Somze are you also a shell hopeful?
You just seem to know quite alot for someone trying to get into shell,

i'm guessing you probarbly treaded this path once upon a time right,

somze:
Robbie
Like I said it is not allowed . . .

Hmmmmmmmmm ok then, for a second i thought you where actually serious!!

PS you forgot the Lex in my name, LOL

somze:

The Case studies are the same. You are not allowed to do this but you group can share parts of the 25 page document and each person concentrates on a section and explains it to the group

unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fmonopoli:
Please guys that have taken part in the SRD, are the case studies the same and can anyone provide the case,

are you asking for the case studies we did like seriously asking someone to post the case study we worked on in the interview

hey guys i know for a fact that mobil started sending invitations for interviews yesterday, so it isnt spam or a virus or whatever,
if you havent gotten an invitation you can either keep having faith or accept your fate,

cheers

OOOPS sorry i just realised my description of the test was a bit vague

okay for the quantitative section , it's basically data analysis type questions. bar charts,line graphs, pie charts,

the verbal reasoning, you have short passages and you have questions where you have to answer true false or uncertain.

the spatial reasoning are just all those weird annoying looking shapes.

log on to www.shl.com for a sample of what the test will look like.

once again all the best

basic shl format,
40 questions verbal reasoning
40 questions quantitative analysis
40 questions spatial reasoning

you have about 20 minutes for each section, the test isnt tooo difficult its just the time that is limited so work on your speed alot.

All the best in your test.

PS if you wrote the previous exxon mobil tests recently, then don't write this one. HR informed me that writing two tests within the same period = disqualification.

Cheers

rayo2002 congrats on your interview invitation.

anyway everyone else has bombarded you with questions so let me fall in line and also ask my question,
did you sit for the experienced or graduate trainee accounting test??

I;m getting the vibes that experienced pple are being called before fresh graduates, i might be wrong though


Please clarify

Cheers

onavae:
after waiting all this time, i finally get a mail from shell to know that i should wait no more, and that i should reapply in 2 years time.
To God still be the Glory. we will keep hoping and managing the small one wey de hand.

Awwwwww sorry things turned out like this, but like you said to God still be the glory, that's really the truth that with or without shell or whatever earthly ambitions we have God is Glory,

Take heart men, i know this isnt easy, the wait and now this disappointment, but like everyone has said God has something better in store for you so dont lose hope, he'll still make a way for you.

Thanks for all the information and all the contributions you ever made on this thread, in your own little way you touched peoples lives and i think thats important,

All the best in all your future endeavours.

lol,
nah its not like that atall, trust me a lot of people are everywhere, they just prefer to be silent, i ask questions when i need answers or answer people's questions, i am far from silent.

besides, man no go chop??

Anyiee i really wish i could help, especially because you sound really anxious and all, but unfourtunately i'm just as much in the dark as you are, besides i'm not even a sitp hopeful. All i can say is just keep praying and waiting, some people have speculated that there is a waiting list so just keep the faith up,

myro:
Hi all,

I am a bit of an over-packer so I need to know before start folding my matress and curtains.

Lastly, I will be bringing my tennis racket with me. Will anyone else be doing the same??

i so get the over packer vibes already, lol
but i guess it's alllowed jare, you're very excitied and i would be if i were in your shoes, lol

so you play tennis, hmmm interesting!!!!!!!!!!!

so far no one i know that took the test has been invited for an interview, so i guess it's safe to assume that they havent started calling yet right,

HMMM i got the same invitation, but i dunno why your so bothered ife - eco -06 you wrote the last accounting test right, i'm not sure if we'll be allowed to write this one again, but i'll check with the hr lady though. why dont you send her an email to find out if she can reschedule you thats assuming you'll be allowed to write it in the first place.

All the best

oh yeah and Rave, how tight is the package??

omg cutsey i am so happy for you

well my dear there are lots of tips on this thread, from the ones i gave to the ones onavae gave and a couple of other people,

now i''m even rustier than before as it has been a while since i had my srd, how many months now, 3 going on 4

but anyway like i said before go and enjoy yourself, and be your self,and make sure you rest alot the day before.

Speed is essential, think outside the box, listen to your group members alot, and let your ideas be a cohension of everybody's ideas,

oh yeah and dress smartly to, you know the whole works suit and all.

All the best

anyway i always had the feeling you were only cute but also smart

are you SITP or HR/fin hopeful
and did you do your srd in lagos?

hey congrats ranbaxy, i'm really happy for you oh.

Hmmm Tosat nah wah for you ohhhh, i have not heard from you in centuries, well yeah they have started contacting people but as usual the negative info comes first, so if that your friend has not heard anything then i guess he is either in the " he did very well category" or "under consideration"

Anyway that stuff i went for was very fine thanks for asking,

please try and find out more info on this shell recruitment thing nowwwwwwwwww, we hr/fin hopefuls want to know whats up

Hmmm cutesey have you heard anything yet tooo, let us know ok?

Amen, lets see how it goes, hope you are preparing hard though,

once again all the best!

i havent heard anything yet, but a dr fredie posted that he had his interview for next week, though it was for CP, we, so i'm guessing they have either started calling or will be very soon.

All the best people.

cheers

congrats dr ferdie, so you made the cut, oh well kudos to you

Anniwil:
Well for KDB and others congrats,like i said u guys shld see us as your brodas when n u arrive here o!!(us in SITP/2).I really enjoy this thread,the hopes expressed e.t.c.But i've got some news,was at a shell meeting in which Mutiu Sunmonu,the current MD,SPDC and Ann Pickaard,The Vice President,Exploration and Production(West Africa) addressed us,the fact is that Shell is being owed about 2 billion dollars for the JV patnership by the Federal Government and it's affecting their operations (and their paying contract staff),also the MD made it clear that the PROJECT "one shell" is under TEMPORARY SUSPENSION as the FG has asked for further clarifications from the shell mgt.The overall effect is that those who are scheduled to be retired will not yet be retired until this whole thing is sorted out.Well for all the shell hopefuls who are coming into SITP/1,there's no cause for alarm as you are STAFF ON TRAINING with some big pay package.I imagine u guys buying UR IV-TECs,JEEPS AND SLEEK CARS AT MOST FOUR MONTHS INTO THE TRAINING,but like i earlier said see us as your brother[color=#990000][/color].o!!So much for now,i really buy the idea of getting names and numbers of members who'll be joining us here in April.i'll start with my e-mail addy xtracoded@yahoo.com for security reasons. .at least celebrating over a bottle of beer will suffice.Cheers y'all.back to my moduluminous modules(imagine i get exam 2mrw,i never even read)

So i guess this means there will be no retrenching,
thanks for the info, you've been really great providing us with inside info,
nice one man

HR/FIN hopefuls i heaar they have started contacting those who had one on one interviews in january, my heart goes out to you all, cutesey and co, all the best and let us know how it went.

Cheers

Congrats KDB,, that illness of yours get as e be ohhhhh

So this is the offer letter, the real thing, meaning yourmedicals went great, so when do you guyys start?
so happy for you, yeah i actually think we should excahnge numbers and stuff so we can get to know ourselves when we get there, though i will not be going to warri with you , lol

I'm really happy for all the engineers in the house that made it through, and still praying for the rest still hopefull,

pewekac:
i don't mean to be harsh or anything but for you to have written over 30 apt test and still be without a job then your head truly no dey house. job opportunities are in your hands, it's left for you to grab em. if you studied like your life depended on it there's no reason why you shouldn't pass simple GMAT. it's all about practice! again if you keep messing up after 30 interviews than there definitely is something wrong in your personality. start rereading the interview handbooks. abeg help yourself. good luck!

I beg to differ i dont think there is anything wrong with Georgee, and i do not think you should be so rude to him either, you can tell him to prepare and work hard without sounding so harsh - yes you were very harsh and i do not think that is necessary.

If we were all so put together i doubt if there would be any job seekers forum in nairaland, we are here because we are looking for something, and honestly he probabrly just voiced out the same feelings lots of people have here.

So just take it easy on him ok.

Georgee, i seriously feel your pain, searching for a job can be draining, writing tests reading, travelling up and down getting disappointments, I'm sure 90% of nairalanders will tell you that they have felt the exact same way, Nigeriaás labour market is a tough place to be thats just the painful truth and if you are going to make it you just have to endure for a while and get tougher.

You mentioned you had passed a couple of tests and did not make it at the interview stage, first let me say congrats, yeah you ddidn'tget the jobs but hey you passed the tests which i must tell you a lot of people never do. Now let me ask you, how prepared where you for the interviews? how much prior research did you do before going for these interviews? how much of what the buyer was selling where you offering - by buyer i mean your potential employer

I know you're going through a lot of stress and yes i also advise that you pray and hold on to God as i am a strong believer in the God factor, but at the same time you need to work hard and if you have been doing that work even harder, the market is competitive and if you want to finally land a job you need to make your self very very marketable, from your dressing to your composure to your words,

Try remembering your performance at these interviews, give yourself a personal appraisal, i thank God for the person who started the thread 'PREPARING FOR AN INTERVIEW CHECK HERE" a lot of people actually ignore that thread but i must tel you theres a whole depth of knowledge there,

The truth is some people will never have to really work so hard to get a job, some people can just waltz into an interview room unprepared and dazzle the interviewees but most people have to work for it, whatever you do George don't give up!!!! take all these past encounters as a training ground for something else, God probably has something better in store for you, so rather than sitting on your back complaining - (which i don't blame you for considering what you have been through) get up and move,

God will open the door for you, but when he does you have to be on your feet and very ready to walk into that room.

Cheers - make unilag proud

Anxious arent you,
i feel you jare
well the three weeks waiting period isnt up yet so just keep your fingers crossed, and of course your knees bent praying, lol

Wish you all the best

thats ten down and more to go,

like badtype said lets all just put our trust in God, very nice post badtype, atleast you didnt just get your medicals and disappear you contributed something and for a first post you did pretty well, lol , Congrats to you ohhhhh i hope this will be the beginning of many open doors in your life.

And to deinowei,wishing you all the best too

All the best people, it may be a long wait but God dey!!

Cheers

CONGRATS MIKETOMI, that makes eight succesful shell hopefuls, i mean shell workers in the house, lol

And i belive the number will keep growing by the hour, please let us know whats up ohhh, don't just fade away into the dark remember plenty shell hopefuls still dey here expecting some information at any point in time,

congrats to you all, and guys lets keep the faith up and this thread from disappearing, i had to search for a while before i located the thread ohhh, its not a good sign ohhh,

HR/FIN hopefuls we have to keep posting now our time never reach ohh, and from what i hear it maynot be for some time,
