I stay in port Harcourt. Shell has started interviewing successful candidates. But i guess success mails are still ongoing.Shell office is beside mine and I enquired from the people I saw walking in.

Shell can do what they like but this recruitment in particular is already marred with malfeasance whether they agree or not.

Regardless of what the popular heads on here might say, Nairaland is a good sample space for many recruitment exercises and a well-publicized recruitment scheme by such a reputable company will not change that dynamics.

Even BAT that is significantly less popular still had a trove of people who posted decisions and the progress report of the recruitment. Shell that is most likely to have received 10 times the number of applicants is now begging for one genuine success mail report.

This just gives credence to the notion that the people getting those successful feedbacks know how they are getting it which explains why they are keeping mum.

The present I.e 2016/2017 batch of Imperial college Petroleum engineering MSc students all got regret mails. I mean every single one of them. What type of scheme will I use to filter applicants where 1 first-class student from a prestigious university like ICL would not get past my filter?

Look at the number of reject mails being doled out many for flimsy reasons like unavailability of the positions they applied for - the very same positions Shell themselves advertised for I must add.

Please, they should give me a break and a vacation.

UPDATE ON PTDF AFTER TEST

Due to low oil price and economic crises, only few people will be admitted for overseas scholarship this year. If u choose Brasil and Germany schools with partnership with PTDF then this may be secured.

The exam is quite unfair so is life. However, there is still hope because selection though determined by your state, in case of discrepancies, the course chosen, O level and Female gender is still accounted for.

If it happens any of you get local scholarship, kindly choose IFP school, Shell Centre of Excellence Benin, OAU Centre of Excellence and private universities.

There school fees is over a million and u get quality education and conducive environment with no strike and lecturer problem. Do not choose to go to any regular schools. No real impact and differences between u and undergraduates.

Every year it is the same story yet people used PTDF to attend Imperial College and other universities in UK last year despite oil prices being far lower then than it is today.

PTDF should also explain to us why some beneficiaries of the LSS are yet to receive a dime till date even when they received close to 80% of their budget allocation.

They are talking about Germany as if close to 95% of the German MSc programs are not tuition free. This is an aside from the fact that more people still secure this scholarship without having their names appear on the master list released in various newspapers when result time comes.

I personally know 2 people who secured this scholarship last year that may not know the difference between discrete and discreet and their respective states still got 5 and 6 scholars (depending on ND states).

PTDF should just shut up and do what they are paid to do- which is to disburse monies for the scholarship and stop talking arrant nonsense. We all know Senator's cronies and even staff of the MPR will still get the same scholarship and be sent to schools of their choice.

You people should stop sugar-coating things.

Story.

Shell would never type "I" am pleased to inform you because the person responding to you is doing so on behalf of the corporate entity. The professional language should always be "we". If he edited it himself before posting it here, that should have been his argument, otherwise, what he posted was a dud.

That somebody overscaled their assessment makes no sense again considering people were rejected for selecting a department Shell advertised for and said was availaible only to offer unavailability as a premise for rejecting the said people. That flies in the face of logic.

Shell sending successful feedback after 2 days? LOL. You must think one person peered through the submitted video interviews, scored it and then complied it with the outcomes of the cognitive and psychometric tests readily enough to approve that same person and then draft the success later a day after. Again, this does not make any sense as I doubt any recruitment system of this magnitude and applicants can be that efficient.

The screenshot below actually means nothing. If that was a success mail indicator then they did not need to mention that the application is still being reviewed. The essence of sending a success mail in the first place implies that the application was already reviewed don't you think? Well, that shows that the "well-done" remark only proved that the response was preprogrammed to mean that they had received the completion of all his steps in the stage 1 and would ensuingly review it. Nothing else.

To prove me wrong (and I would love to be proven wrong), show us a screenshot of the actual success mail Shell sent. Names and ref numbers can be edited. Any other thing really is just a fib.

Guess as much. Yea, done and in the next stage.
Like I said earlier. Google will be of help to give you an idea of what to expect. If you need a 2nd opinion when you are doing the test, get one. Two good heads are definitely better than 1. Once again, Good luck!

I am curious to know when you wrote the logical reasoning test and if the feedback is final. That is, have they stopped sending the successful feedback? A few people I know who are not on NL wrote one on the 28th and I am yet to ask them if they have heard from MTN but I expect them to.

Confirmed?
