QUOTE(tishaban @ Nov 12 2008, 11:16 AM) In my experience, having someone in Shell refer you will help you from being weeded out automatically by the system. However you will still have to go through the proper interview channels and you will still have to pass the interviews. Shell has a nice employee referral program so if the position you're applying for is in the list then your friend will get the US$1800 bonus or however much the referral program pays now. However your friend is in HR so there are strict rules against HR and management referring anyone for a job (conflict of interest). Shell is very strict in this so if I were in the HR position I don't want to be involved. There are other less risky ways of getting into Shell  Good luck! Added on November 12, 2008, 11:18 amI don't know about accounting but I've known colleagues who were certified for CISSP, PMP, Prince2 etc. So they do sponsor certifications in general. you think they would sponsor me to get my project management certificate from Project management institute when i get in. it would be a lot of help if they can, it is kindda of expensive to sit for the course and exam.

QUOTE(vinayrsm @ Nov 17 2008, 09:44 PM) Just gave Shell's interview. Learned quite a bit from this forum .. so trying to give back to community thumbup.gif ... 1st part - career preferences.. simple.. no assessment 2nd part - behavioural part - what do you consider as your most cherish accompolishment? followup question.. what did you learn from it? how did you actually achieve it.. process.. what did you do exactly? how did you manage different interests of parties involved? ... THEN NEXT EXAMPLE.. give an example of being in a team where you did not agree with your team members? how did you manage this conflict? and what was the result? ... again more details.. how did you do this.. step by step.. (really detailed approach and issues/challenges are asked) 3rd part - analyze one of the four issues - (sorry, I cant remember all four but only 3 - Global Standards; Energy Demand-Supply; Shell's Corporate Reputation. I choose Energy Demand-Supply challenge.. they will provide starting point in the discussion and then guide you or ask open-ended questions about the topic.. based on your responses.. [READ, READ and READ more... learn about issues important to Oil& Gas Industry - I talked about - Sustainability; Energy-efficieny; Developed economy & Developing economy's consumption, Educating consumers; Alternative Fuels; Greener Fuels from Carbod sources; Low-carbon economy; Regulation; Aligning interests of all major stakeholders; Collaborating with competitors; customers; suppliers to generate ideas; --- summary Economic; Technological; Social and Political dimensions] ... I guess my interview went ok.. just waiting for a response now. Hope this is helpful for readers. >> Just got the call - I am IN for Gourami  well you got into the gourami, well congrates hope you make full used of your chance, well i did mine in australia but not with shell, i did it with an australian project management firm, while doing my master in project management. it was lots of fun, and you learn first hand experiece proffesional job level. i am sure with shell you would learn even more.. good luck who knows you might have a chance of working with shell..

well i guess it is because of the nature of job you are applying. nothing to be nervous bro.. just be yourself. well basically if you pass the first interview and called to attend srd shows that you have the quality neeed. this goes to everyone. anyway srd is lots of fun, take it like a summer class, and doing an assignment presentation..hahaha thrust me..

QUOTE(kaiserwulf @ Dec 15 2008, 11:30 PM) @avickun: Grats. @santana: The HR will let you know the payscale once you got your offer. thanks kaiserwulf..well i just need to do my medic check up, i was told.. i only know finaly when i get the job depends on the medic check up.. but i dunno how long i have to wait after i have done my check up.. any idea..hhahaha Santana, i was told by a friend that grad will get around 2600 for a start plus many other benefits.. also not sure about that..that is what i heard santana.. but i guess the payscale is culculated by many factors, your edu level, experience, work scope and etc.. so it is very subjective.. people doing off shore pay scale if different from those in the down stream... but can anyone clarify.. i say based on what i read in the post...
