err.. OK, its like this. When u go for graduate SRD, there will be managers/leads/bosses from few depts/disciplines/etc in the session to gauge ur performance. And depending on ur performance, they might or might not impressed with u and willing to take u under their wing, provided there is vacancy in the 1st place. It is a norm for Shell to keep those 'turned down' candidates within 1 yr for possibility of other vacancies (meaning, there's someone else better than u for the time being, but should we still need u later, we will contact u again). Remember, graduate SRD is about competing with a group of people... everybody is trying to outdo each other. That's why, some may get immediate (fast response) offer, some might have to wait few weeks, etc, and some got turned down. Depending on the acceptance of say 1st choice candidate, and next, next subs... that's when shell might contact those previously turned down. 1 of my padawan is actually a mechanical static - prone person. However, during the SRD, it was assessed that he is more suited to do mechanical rotating equipment, and parked in RE skillpool. For matured hire, u dont compete with anyone during SRD. U reach SRD stage after been screened through with all the other applicants. From there, 1 will be selected to attend SRD.

contract? U mean contract employment? Then, its a no. Contract staff are more expensive than permanent.

Not true for Shell. And besides, being on contract is a big big liability...

Think his SRD is for Shell staffing, either in CBJY or Miri. Shell normally would not handle 3rd party employment

Its global transition period as it is... but its normal for graduate to have to wait up to 1 year to be called for next round of assessment.

Call them up and ask. BTW, hiring process is quite lengthy... ard 4-6 months as someone has mentioned b4. Better look for other options in the mean time.

Yep, those outsourced functions (IT, SSC, etc) are still managed by Shell staff, albeit at a smaller number than previously.

Gumusut started or rather delayed for 2 yrs already.. and Gumusut is not " direct-report" to EPA (SSB/SSPC).

There,

You have been warned

Did you pass the 1st round? The restructuring does not affect fresh graduates.

Intake for graduates is not affected, there is a management commitment to that. But 1st class degree is aint automatic ticket to get a Shell interview. No offense to 1st class degree holder, but I've seen 1st degree got rejected in place for a lower class degree. Why? Because your results count only 1/4 of the total assessment under CART criterion.

So, having a 1st class degree doesnt mean that you are GOOD ENOUGH to work for Shell.

SGS provides technical consultation to other OUs.At the same time, they would conduct tech audit, overlooking the safety elements put in place and ensuring conformance to standards from DEP, API, etc.

Yep. No more Legacy plan for new joiners.

There are, depending on discipline, courses to be attended in RD training center in rijswijk that run up to several months. Those courses are mandatory in the G's development program. Even "Launchpad" course for Rotating Equipment run all the way to 9 months.

Yep. No bond. The best part i guess.

It has been revised and it's more than that.

Just because you didnt make it, you thought it's because of your skin color? That's the case maybe Shell Malaysia should terminate those Dutch, British, American, Nigerian, S.Americans, Chinese, Indians and leave it to the Malays.. . You think too highly of yourself.

Allowance = 3.05k is equivalent to 2.7k RA and .35 transportation if not mistaken. Or was it .25 transportation for G?

@ hydroboy,

Just go ahead and apply. Nobody here can tell whether you'd get hired or not with your degree as the basis.

And to whoever was saying a G (graduate) can rake in 10k/month (all inclusive); yes, you'll get that right at the beginning if you are on 14/14 roster, ie; offshore roster or office roster (RTOC manning, etc). If you are office based and not on roster, you may get 10k on your 2nd or 3rd graduate year. Do your own math, G's get average 25% annual increment until they "graduated" after 3rd year. The moment you get to JG5, your annual increment would be similar to the rest of the staff. And no, 10k salary is not a team lead salary in upstream. You'll be sent to Rijswijk for training, or becoming industrial tourists as the seniors would call them. Annual leave is 20 days. Company EPF contribution starts from 15% and max out at 19%.
Regardless of coming through SRD/assessed internship, remuneration is the same (IMHO, coming through assessed internship would be an easier path. You ace the internship, you'll get job offer pending your final semester results)

Once you get to JG5, you'll get the invitation to contribute and own stock option, not traded locally. At the same time, you can start introducing your friends, relatives, family members, cats, dogs, etc for employment under ERP scheme. Its 6.4k/head if hired. So, those aspiring to become bapa ayam or ibu ayam, Shell may be a company of choice .

Once you get to JG4, you'll be segregated under technical or non-tech salaries. Subsurface is the best bet here. And you'll find that headhunters wont stop calling you. And then, you'll arrogantly and snobbishly attend any interview with nothing but one question, "What's in it for me?"


Any more question? I still have few craps and bullshits left to throw...

For EP, STC is very rare after Transition 2009. Either you come in as 3rd party or staff. Funny thing is, Shell has been struggling to get experienced people to join lately, at least into PD.

BTW, experienced hire recruitment is called SRD as well, but the process is different. No case study, no group presentation, etc. Most of the time its the F2F interview, where almost everything is "negotiable". Ever heard of permanent relocation allowance, or 6 years relocation instead of the typical 4 years?

Coming back to graduate SRD, I supervised 2 assessed internship last year; 1 intern did really well and was offered a position during the final presentation, pending final sem results. The other one, a scholar nonetheless, failed with flying colors. This year, I just finished supervising a non-assessed internship. Did well as well, and got the offer.

Err.. thats what you think..

I dont have to think.. I believe what I have seen, and still seeing everyday. Racism exists in every company, the difference is to what extent. Some are subtle, some are more blatant, and not just between the local races.

Err.. the 1k housing allowance was pre-Jurassic. It has been replaced since by relo. G and 5 get 2.7k, 4 and 3 get 3.2k. Of course, like someone else said, it may be abolished (or last I heard) re consolidated. The offshore allowance is still there; 3k for fixed 14-14 roster, and office based people would get inconvenient allowance, calculated to your actual hourly rate based on your basic

This is what you've said;

Let me ask you back; how do you qualify you statement there; hearsay? instinct? rumor mills? Like someone has mentioned, its a closed-knit community
