awwww Subomi apology accepted, really nice that you came here to do that and most importantly that steps have been taken to correct that hiccup thus ending the line of broken hearts, thanks i'm really touched

my fragile heart is already mended, lol, relentless seems to think you are really nice and i do to, infact you impressed me, i'll scan through my folders not sure if i still have my essay
but if i do i'll try and send it in, would like to go through this SCARY INTERVIEW process, (i'm already having goosebumps)

All the best to all the Alder hopefuls in the house, like some people previously said it is necessary to be yourself at all times, not sure what the typical Alder interview format is but for general group interviews you have to show leadership skills and ability to motivate others at all times,for business scenario type of interviews always try to look at the wider implications of things try PEST or SWOT that might help a bit, the trick i belive is to read in between the lines and think out side the box, i'm guessing Alder would be more interested in seeing how you look at things from the bigger picture, BUT like i said i don't know what the typical Alder format is this is just general interview information

Now let me see if i can dig out that essay of mine

awww vindoheney the Lord is your strength, don't worry it is well, God has better things lined up for you just hold on to him jare and resume your job hunt, your search will never be in vain and someday you will look back at this point in your life and smile, all the best

hmmm Ranbaxy since you also have not heard anything then there is still hope, from what i hear the people who have been contacted so far failed, lets all just join out faith together and keep praying ohhh, good to have you on board though, and welcome back tosat, lol

Thanks Bamb really appreciate that.

hmmmmm so i'm i the only shell hopeful here in Nairaland?

Aww Tayog yes i do know consulting is very very very intersting, i have always been keen on developing a career in strategy, but these days i think God is leading me to a different place,

if you recall my post you'll see i did not say for a fact that Alder was not a good company or was not good at what they do, i just said that their front desk lady was not all that and to me first impressions count a lot, in my job hunt, i have met alot of people in HR and alot of front desk ladies, people who have answered millions of calls (which helloooo we all know is their job) and even sometimes when i can detect traces of tiredness impatience and sometimes even sarcasm in their voices, they have never been down right rude to me, maybe its the multinational/ Nigerian factor, i don't really know jare but no matter how much under pressure they may be, i always see professionalism and i admire that,

i recently went for a very tough grilling job interview, and one thing that made me realise i wanted to work there was the level of professionalism the interviewers displayed, the respect they had for everybody that attended, they made us feel we were doing them a favour by attending, that they needed us, and for me that is key

company policy matters alot to me and the way people are treated in the company, for me its a priority maybe it doesn't bother people as much but it definitely bothers me, period! i have standards and i don't think i am willing to drop in my standards.

For all you Alder hopefuls, Kudos, i know that Alder's reputation precedes them and its great that relentless and Tayog are being giving a chance to show them what they have to offer, and hey who knows maybe you guys would help fix that one loophole, you know as they say a stitch in time,

All the best and do keep us posted, irrespective of the damage done to my heart, i still wish you all the best.

thank you olupahpah

im very optimistic, i have decided to go with "they are still compiling the results" becasue i think the job is still active i.e they are still taking applications, atleast last time i checked it was active, lets keep our fingers crossed, and keep eachother posted>>>

i saw this ad here and in some other job sites about some vacancies in finance,that's what i am curious about Bamb, the job is not listed on shells site and lots of people are trying to apply,

Hey i do not have info about shell vacancies, though i am currently on queue and waiting on God to get an entry level job there.sorry i can't be of any help, but theres this buzz about some positions open in finance im not to sure of,

oh you are not taking us back atall
on the contrary a little futher, lol

seriously though were you invited for the test? i have not heard anything from p and g and i'm curious to know whats up with them,

sorry i cant be of help though cos i have not yet taken the test, but which job did you apply for?

any news from P and G

hmmmm i heard shell is recruiting again, does any body have any information on if this is authentic, i'm curious because i have lots of friends who have been trying to apply and have not been successful. if you have any info please let me know.

Thanks

all the best kermit,
good to know your experience wasnt as bad as mine, lol
so how was your interview?

has anyone heard from shell?

norman why dont you start a new thread to that effect that way people who have info will let you know about it.

thanks for the info, but its been more than 9days for me and i still havent heard anything, i think the vacancy is still open becasue they are still collecting applications for that particular job, maybe thats why i have not heard from them,

sorry to bother you AGAIN but did you receive a mail after the online personality test acknowledging that they had received your test or something?i only received an acknowledgement of my application not the online test,

so xenus have you heard anything since you did the online test, i'm thinking if you havent heard anything too then i'm safe and better keep praying and hoping for the best,

oh it just said there was an optional numeracy test and that the test would not have an effect on their decision about you, well in all honesty i ran out of time (cyber time) and just sorta logged out since i figured it wouldn't really matter, now i'm thinking oops did i make a mistake, i i checked my pa nd g profile page and said id completed the online test but i havent heard anything since, like did i pass the test or did i fail, i'm anxious jare!!!!!!

oh okay, i'm hoping they will soon get back to me on that,
actually i had a slight problem when i was doing the online personality test, there was an optional numeracy test to be done and i could not complete it cos i think i was in a cyber and you know how cybers go, maybe thats why i havent heard anything, i'll send them an email today to find out or look for one of their numbers to call or something, thanks for the info, it is well i'm sure you'll make it

yes i would like to know what position you applied for, i applied for the position of assitant brand manager and havent heard anything since then. Please let me know, i'm guessing i should have received feedback whether negative or positive. Anyway let me know.thanks

yes i did the whole online test and have not heard anything since then,
seems like a century ago so whats going on, you said you have already done the test right, for what position exactly,
i'm just mighty curious cos i have not gotten feedback.

we will all make it oh AMEN,
agehro i am guessing you have had your interview right, WELL i can already see that you area confirmed member of shell's next generation, how was your day anyway?

Hello guys, just thought to start a sticky thread for all shell hopefuls, actually the brain behinde this thread is TOSAT one of our very new nairaland members,

there are so many shell threads,  so guys lets make this one stick, anyway this thread is for those who have concluded their interviews and those getting ready for their interviews,

i just finished mine, though tough and tasking  it was a wonderful experience and what ever the outcome is i would gladly go over the SRD day again,

I prophetically declare that we are and we will be Shells next generation of employees!!!!!!!

comment people, lets make this thread stick!

i have also attended the shell recruitment day, and like TOSAT said it really was a tasking day, i enjoyed the whole experience though and all i can say to all of you who are yet to attend the interview is be yourself and just relax and have fun. Also i pray God will grant you all favour in jesus name.

oh i don't know anything about that either, but as long as you passed the test i am sure you would be invited. From whati have seen so far shell is a pretty organised company. All the best

no i have not done the srd atall before, i justwant to find out information like you , sorry i couldn't be of any help.

Thanks

oh thanks you all, to think yesterday i was so upset over this, well like you guys nicely put it there are more companies out there who probarbly have a lot more to offer so no point getting upset over alder, i really appreciate all your comments, and i will definately not give up!

Cheers

oh the interviews are currently running till november, and sitp or not ( i'm assuming the job is finance HR related) you still have to go through the SRD day. They'll send you information about it when the time comes but its a selection assement centre you can check on the web for info on things like that. i think someone previously wrote a thread about it sooo it shouldn't be too much of a hassle, all the best then and if you need more info don't hesistate to ask.

Cheers

I had never heard of alder consulting until my friend mentioned how she has dreamed of working there for years, she studied economics but wants to go into graphic designs and all that ( shes really young and talented). You can understand how happy i was for her when i realised they were recruiting, i called her miles away and told her to apply.

My curiosity got the better of me and i glanced through their website last week, the website was nice and i thought this really would not be a bad place to work, considering i would actually be doing the kind of work i have always wanted to do, so i spent the next couple of days working on the essay for the application (ideas rule the world), i love writing so i kinda enjoyed the whole process,

Naturally when i was finding it hard to send in my application due to some internet glithces i belive, i called customer services, imagine the rude shock i got when i was answered very rudely by a lady on the phone and as if that was not enough she kept saying she had more important people to talk to on the phone and i was disturbing her( she said this less than 2 minutes into the conversation), then she left the phone hanging for about 6 minutes until my credit got zapped.

I must say i am highly disappointed in Alder consulting, i believe your employees speak for your company and if your customer service is that poor then i wonder what the work environment would be like. Where i work presently may not be all that but i have learnt simple work ethics: to respect people of all ages and also expect that kind of respect from people to. I might be looking for a job but i am not and will never be a boot licker, i don't think four years in the university taught me that.

my heart is broken because i believe i wrote a beautiful essay that will never be read(funny that i'm only mourning over my essay and not the job), but of course my friend will never hear this story because she would be crushed, no i wouldn't be a loud mouth and yak to her, I'll her pursue her dream and hope she doesn't get disappointed like me, so thats why I'm sharing this story with you guys, my friends and fellow job hunters because i know you guys would understand,

your CV is the first contact your employer has with you, so naturally it should sell you, there's no such thing as an ideal CV, just make sure your CV shows your best qualities and hides your weaknesses.It should show that you fit the job, meaning you have to tailor your CV to meet the job you are applying for.

forget the cliche ideal CV syndrome, you know your qualities, find out about the job and build your CV around that, it could help to look at some on the net, but don't go copying or trying to follow some pattern, just write a CV that best sells you, and also a CV that you can defend with your eyes closed during the interviews, so don't exaggerate on your accomplishments.

hope that helped a bit

oh ok, i applied for that and had to take a test, a personality test online, but havent heard anything since then, did you all get to do the same test? sorry about the millions of questions just wondering,

oh and all the best in your interview mister,

you have a pa nd g interview, this have anything to do with the graduate positions recently advertised? Sorry dont have any info on the interview just want to know what this is about.

Scream:
