I am just wondering if there's anyone here who got called for the F2F interview straight away without having to go through Phone interview?

I received an email (after applying through the website), which the title is : "Appointment Invitation for Employment".

And I called the person up (the one they specify on the email), asking why I have the option of either phone OR F2F interview. She said phone interview is for people who can't take a leave from their current job. While those who can, it's advisable to go through F2F.

When I apply, I was also requested (via a follow-up email) to send them my Degree Cert and other stuff.

FYI, I have 1 year working in the UK (graduated in UK too) and I recently came back (two weeks ago).

Anyone has been through this (weird) process before? From what I read here, it seems that Shell has an organized way of doing the recruitment?

Have they change this recently? (due to LYN? )
