Hey guys,

Just updating from where I had left off. My initial interview was scheduled in mid-September, and then postponed to mid-October which I had attended in Shell Cyberjaya.

2 days ago (approx. 6 weeks past my initial interview) I received an email notifying me that I have been selected to attend an SRD session, however an official invitation will be sent later on.

Anyone else in the same boat as I am? smile.gif

Hi Seager, we're in the same boat bro!

Ahh, good to know.
Anyway, were you informed or given any hints of the roles that you have most likely been selected for?

I made it clear that I was looking for a technical/ semi-technical engineering related role during my interview - since my interview was pretty general in nature laugh.gif

No hints, but I made myself clear too that I was seeking technical role and did not want to specialise, ie prefer rotation.

Btw, oil prices have dropped to below $75 USD per barrel. THIS IS MAJOR NEWS FOR O&G COMPANIES. Lowest it's ever been in over four years, and right after it peaked last year at approx $110 USD. What a big flip, highest to lowest. Hope this doesn't affect Shell's recruitment!

Hey LSG
Did you receive any email notification to schedule your SRD?
My last email from them was about 6 weeks back.

Yes I received an invitation for SRD on Jan 7. I'm scheduled for Feb 12.

Just so that some of you have an idea for the timeline:

June 30, 2014 - Job Submission Date
June 30, 2014 - Online Assessment Part One
July 7, 2014 - Online Assessment Part Two
July 14, 2014 - Invitation for Interview
Sept 3, 2014 - Face to Face Interview (Cyberjaya)
Sept 4, 2014 - F2F Interview Result
Jan 7, 2015 - Invitation for SRD
Feb 12, 2015 - Shell Recruitment Day

Those of you who are waiting, it takes some time (6 months for me). Cheer up and good luck!

Hey Jack,

Though exhausting, SRD went really great!

All the coordinators were very helpful and the six assessors had alot of experience under their belt (20+ years), were highly knowledgeable (even beyond their discipline) and quite friendly. The Shell grads we met for dinner were sharp too, and I have a new found respect for all Shell grads.

Regarding your questions, everything you need to know is explained in detail in the Pre-SRD briefing, so I suggest that you come with these questions on that day. All Feb 12 candidates agreed with Shell Recruitment not to disclose confidential information about the SRD (which they invest heavily in for the selection process), and I will honour that trust. I believe all six of us on Feb 12 will do the same.

Shell Recruitment are very much aware of this LYN thread (surprise!) and they do monitor it from time to time. To Jack and everyone else reading, after sitting through SRD, my advice would be: 1) manage time well, 2) be authentic, 3) take a chill pill and have fun.

Best of luck! biggrin.gif

Good Evening,

I understand you have your SRD tomorrow. I am wondering if you could share your detailed step-by-step experience of each activity during the day after tomorrow please? That would be a great help as I have mine next week which I need to do some more prep for.

Could you please answer:

- What is the case study on and what is asked for the presentation (i.e. short med long term plans regarding buying oil fields which have issues with flaring etc?
- What is the video on within the group discussion and what was the topic in discussion (i.e. you are part of a commity for social investment or choose to invest in 1 business, what do you have to write or answer)?
- How does the interview differ from the phone interview for competancy?
- What specific questions were asked in self reflection (was this just on the etray or what is with reference to the group task too?)
- What was the information in the email from the supervisor as part of the etray, how is best to set this email response out?
- How many questions are in e-tray?
- What duration for each exercise?
It would be great if you could be detailed as most people when the share knowledge are quite vague or are happy to receive advise but not give - I will share my experience for SRD.

Also how did yours go? feeling confident?

E-mail back to jackhall88@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers,
Jack H
