Hi, i got an email saying this:



I guess it is the first interview. Is SRD the second? Is there any other interviews after that? i realized that certain topics will be given for us to explain but i'm not sure whether it is in the first or second interview. From the previous pages I noticed that the second interview is very long. What do they ask till that long?

Thanks

that should be your 1st interview, if u apply through the website.

1st interview is short questions. see how good can you talk and make sense...

2nd interview is whole day. you r not accessed one whole day, it will be divided into a number of section and you r not alone, that is why it took the whole day.

cheers

thanks for the reply.

For the first interview, i read through the previous replies and it seems that a topic will be given. What do they expect us to elaborate? advantages, disadvantages, causes, effect and so on?

Vista on an old laptop is painful my friend. Stability is not an issue, it's performance that's lacking. Heck even people with dual core laptops and 2GB memory sometimes have issues that I can't decipher. I don't see why you're looking forward to using it I wish they'd just stuck with XP sometimes. Oh ETA sometime in 2009.

Added on September 22, 2008, 2:43 pmsilverwave, in my experience at least they want to see how you analyze the situation/topic given. Think global was one advice that was given to me. If you're given a situation to analyze you'd want to think from your point of view, the company's, the customer, the general public, the media, your supporters, your detractors, etc.

The interview was hard but I thoroughly enjoyed it

Thank you for answering that question. Seems like thinking outside of the box is very important.

I applied for electrical and electronics engineering position. Just out of curiosity, are the engineers placed in selangor or transferred to other places?

Just got a call for interview on Thursday.

There were 4 topics given. 2 i had no idea coz it was so long, another was smtg bout company and one more was oil related.

Btw, i got a call yesterday for second interview but it is in Miri. The person called me said technical jobs are there, so if i get it i will be placed in Miri itself.

Anyone knows how is the salary and working hours for a fresh grad in electrical and electronic engineering? Curious to know

hi silverware,

do you know when the SRD gonna be? ive been waiting for almost 2 months since my first interview. They told me i got the SRD but they havent informed me of the date and place yet.

Miri on the 14th oct. 13th oct got briefing.

dang. why didnt i get the email and invite? lol

May be u shud call them and ask.



Btw, i heard there is a technical interview. Is that during SRD? Is SRD the final interview or is there another one?

SRD should be the final one. Ill try and call next week and see whats goin on. What position did you apply anyways?

Electrical & Electronics Engineer. If u see in the shell website, it says there is another final one but i'm not sure whether it's updated

What u applied for?

to be honest, i cant remember. Im a civil eng but i think they offered me a job as a logistics planner at damansara.

Ill just wait and see what will happen after the SRD. Not really desperate for a job =)

Ladies and Gents,

SRD will be the last round of the recruiting process. After that, if things turn out well, you will join the Shell organization.

For freshies like myself, you will be placed under a DEVELOP programme and regardless of discipline, your basic pay will be the same.

A word of advice during the SRD: 1) Be yourself. 2) Enjoy the experience.

Honestly, there's no point pretending to be anyone else but who you are. Be honest about the replies. The session is not "killer" but you will be somewhat "drained". There are no right or wrong questions, just to basically see how your mind works and how you solve problems.

And YES, technical careers are based in Lutong, Miri. But that doesn't mean you don't get to travel alot. For those who will be visiting Miri and need some guide or last minute ditch effort for advice, just leave me a PM and let's see if I'm in town.

Cheers~

EDIT:

Just to add, Miri, albeit being a city, really isn't much of a city to start with. It's designed to cater for those who want a slow-paced life, 60km/hr driving (on the fast lane sometimes), no traffic jams, no kick-ass night clubs, no fancy Red/Green Box K-joints, no GSC/TGV/MBO...only cineplexes...BUT beautiful sunsets, nature trails, relatively nearby national parks which hosts the State's natural treasures...

Having said that, I believe it's the company you hang out with more than where you hang out. The people are relatively more polite and you will be able to mingle with colleagues and peers soon enough (there is an internal community service to ensure everyone fits in).

Shell focuses on education

It believes educating the young is key to supporting efforts to save rainforests

Corporate responsibility (CR) is practically second nature to Shell Malaysia. As chairman Datuk Saw Choo Boon explains, the company has always been committed to sustainable development.

“We see CR as a way of conducting our business. We have always incorporated sustainability considerations into our business thinking and operational processes,” he told StarBiz.

“Running alongside our business is an aim to ensure better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come,” he said, adding that community development, education and environmental conservation have always been a prime focus for the company.

Shell Malaysia has organised and supported a significant number of rainforest-related environmental conservation projects in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

In Sabah, it has worked with the Government and various non-government organisations and contributed considerably to rainforest conservation initiatives such as the Danum Valley and Maliau Basin.

However, the heart of its conservation efforts lie in education, as the company believes that the key to the sustainability of its efforts to save the rainforests is in educating the young.

“Over the years, Shell Malaysia has developed various programmes to teach young Malaysians to develop a sense of care for the environment,” Saw said.

In the peninsula, the company has collaborated with the Malaysian Nature Society and the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia to start the Nature Education Centre (NEC) in Kuala Lumpur.

“The NEC conducts programmes for children to help them better understand the importance of environmental conservation,.

“It is open to the public and parents are encouraged to enrol their children in the programmes.

“Nature education camps for students are also run in Sabah and Sarawak through the support of various Government agencies,” Saw said.

Another environmental education initiative is its SERASI (Sarawak Anugerah Sekolah Rakan Alam Sekitar) awards, aimed at promoting environmental awareness among students in Sabah and Sarawak.

The awards also give recognition to the schools for their efforts in promoting environment programmes.

Saw said Shell Malaysia has also been sponsoring Malaysian students in their pursuit of higher education for over 45 years.

“Education is a very important area of focus for us, because we believe that training and learning help people to develop their potential.

“Our scholarships and bursary awards have benefited more than 10,000 young Malaysians since the 1950s,” Saw said.

Many of the scholarship recipients were either working at Shell or have gone on to become leaders in Government and business, he added.

A significant educational initiative is Shell Malaysia’s “Project LINK,” a programme dedicated to the training of welders and carried out in collaboration with the Sabah and Sarawak governments and the Education Ministry.

“To date, over 700 students have graduated from this programme to serve as welders in the oil and gas industry as well as various other industries,” according to Saw.

On how CR has improved Shell Malaysia, Saw said: “We feel it is part of our duty to be responsible. If we are not seen as a company with values, we are not seen as one that is responsible.

“We cannot sustain profitability if our focus is only on making money. Otherwise our existence will be very shortlived. The fact that we have been around for 117 years is a testament to that.”

One of the company’s community driven programmes is the ‘Shell Traffic Games’, an annual nationwide competition promoting road safety awareness among school children.

“This event has been around for over 50 years. Road safety continues to be a major concern in this country.

“The only way to inculcate good habits and practices is to start with the young.

“We feel that by instilling good road safety habits from young, it becomes second nature to them,” Saw said.

In a typical competition, pupils from participating schools are required to pass a written test and an on-the-road test. They are awarded merit points for abiding by road safety regulations. They are also issued summonses should they violate any law.

Shell has also worked with the Government to promote road safety during festive seasons.
