Applied for the fresh grad program and after the first two assessments (multiple choice quiz) online, I received an email stating I will be called for an interview.

However, they say a coordinator will call me soon to arrange the interview's date and time. Do any of you know how long this normally takes? :hmmm

Good luck to the both of us then smile.gif When did you receive your notification?

Mine took about 3 days from the interview notification to a coordinator e-mailing me to organize the interview time.

Tip for the interview:
They're all behavioural questions and they really drill you on your past experiences.

Questions were along the lines of 'tell me a time you handled a difficult task/challenge', 'tell me a time you had to influence someone to do something' etc etc.

And you need to be specific - my interviewer asked a lot of follow up questions to my answers.
Good luck!

Hmm it would be nice if I do get a reply in 3 days time. And thank you for the heads up on the questions too. Did you eventually get the job? smile.gif

I only had the interview recently. The interviewer said it will take about 10 days before they notify you if you make it to the next stage (Shell Recruitment Day).

I sort of fumbled in some of the questions. Hope I make it through. Haha.

Hmmm I see. Well keep your hopes up yea? smile.gif This will be my first job interview that requires me to wait so many days between stages. The hardest interview i had to take was about 8 hours but it was done in a day and I got to know whether I was hired or not in the end. smile.gif

I received mine yesterday too smile.gif Do update me if the you get an email stating when and where you can go for the interview yea ?smile.gif

Also, i think those questions are becoming more and more common these days. I was asked "If you could be an animal, which would i be?" in my previous interview at a different company. Weird psychological questions...

Just got back smile.gif

Interview lasted one hour and it was a one on one interview. I was asked to explain times when I was a leader and helped to solve problems smile.gif

Quite stressful for me and at the end of the interview, my mouth was totally dry tongue.gif Now need to wait 2 weeks for the notice on whether i managed to get through or not.

Had a fun day at SRD yesterday biggrin.gif
It really was a one of a kind experience, both tiring but fun at the same time

Can anyone please share their experiences of SRD?

I hear that they have a self-reflection interview this time. Does anyone know what they ask?

They will ask you to evaluate on the answers you have given in other exercises prior to the interview. No biggie and you cant prepare for it. smile.gif
