normally what will be asked in the phone interview and how long it's gonna take?
Phone interview is just short, want to hear your voice and the way you speak. Talk about you and some basic stuff like years of exp, how u handle situation and conflict, how can u help out in the position, etc. How long? 30 - 60 min.QUOTE(soulmad @ Jun 12 2007, 06:30 PM)

My informal phone interview was about one hour. Actual interview was longer.
It is supposed to be like that. It doesnt make sense the other way around.QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Jun 15 2007, 11:57 AM)
I think im more worried in the technical questions. Engineering ques are tough to answer, unless it's a very basic one. Thanks for the advices....appreciate it. 
Added on June 16, 2007, 12:53 amIf i'm not sure of an answer, or i dunno how to answer, what should i say? Should i say..."Sorry, i'm not very sure about that"?...or????
U shd know what u study or will-be-working as right? They wont ask u anything too hard like shell-specific technology & etc. They will ask u general knowledge only, general tech question.Added on June 16, 2007, 12:53 amIf i'm not sure of an answer, or i dunno how to answer, what should i say?

My phone interview only last around 30mins. Would that be a problem?
I applied for internship for 2 months, anyhow.
They sent me an email that looks roughly like this
I was told that it is better to have longer intership than shorter internship? What i mean is that they would rather recruiter interns who wants to work longer.
No problem about 30 min phone interview. Intern work there usually for 6 months... known as trainee. 2 months? before they even setup account and password for u, u leaving d - waste time.I applied for internship for 2 months, anyhow.

I was told by HR personnel that the next SRD should be around 2 weeks time. Has anyone been invited for the upcoming SRD? Anyone knows the exact date?
Dunno and not sure, no exact dates. When they inform enough ppl, they will conduct a session of SRD. No particular date.QUOTE(stinkysockz @ Jun 19 2007, 02:39 AM)
Any of u guys n girls got the job n starting work in July?
oh. btw, there is no exact date for SRD. They will call u up when there is a business requirement (position) which u are suitable for consideration and evaluation according to your resume and 1st interview. Therefore, one person's invitation to SRD might differ from another person.

I just got the job offer from Shell. Only last week did my medical check up. I applied in February 2007 and only got the offer letter in May 2007. For phone interview normally done by the HR recruiter . My phone interview was done by a recruiter who just join Shell for 1 month only and so my phone interview was simple and direct to the point. They will be asking about background, work experience details and the important thing is your qualification. You have to be very details of your certificate , qualification , duration of study. If there is is any discepancy between your submission and your information in the phone interview , chance are they will seek clarification first before they can proceed further . For my SRD , I was called in Miri where they give free accomodation and flight tickets. During the SRD which last 3 hours , will be a challenge and you have to be really confident and know what to say and answer . Tips:- most of the time the interviewer will be doing a lot of writing while you answer the question given. So if they suddenly look at you while you answer that means your answer is not right or some part that they should ask you to reconsider back your answer. So you have to give the answer in other scenario in case they stop writing. It happens to me one time where i answer wrongly and the interviewer stop writing and repeat back the question . If you don't understand the question , please say so and ask the interviewer what does it means. They don't expect you to be 100% perfect. They just an honest answer from you and don't be afraid to admit that you are wrong . They just want to know how you solve the problems.
Ok. I am babbling too much .....hope my experience will help you all who will be going for SRD.
thanks for sharing the detail!Ok. I am babbling too much .....hope my experience will help you all who will be going for SRD.
