hey flamingtorch.. did my interview too this morning and i got accepted for their SRD in bintulu on 20th july. Did you get your invitation d?

PM u d.

look around this forum.
plenty of info on packages.
if you still have to ask.
you really dont deserve this

look harder, ive seen it before. and no, he is not harsh, just trying to put money in your pocket.

I totally agree to what u said. Sometimes i even doubt that do really choose the right people based on their CART criteria, or just to fulfill their local corporate social responsibility, so they are more keen to hire the locals.

I have some frens who are top student in the uni with excellent co-curriculum and great presentation skill, yet they are not even shortlisted for the phone interview. However, in the same batch, there are some ppl who are East Malaysian had been shortlisted to SRD. (it is undeniable that some of them are really good, however from i see, some of them cant even speak proper english, i hav no idea how they are selected for SRD).

I believe I carried myself very well. And I actually followed the advices posted by you around this forum when I attended it. Among them were "be yourself" and "avoid being the attention seeker, asskisser etc".. but when I was surrounded by a group of passive and quiet candidates, it was made hard to tone down my outspokenness. Maybe I should have been as quiet as them. At last, candidates with poor spoken English were chosen instead. Having said that, I believe they must have had some good qualities Shell is looking for. Otherwise, the assessors wouldn't have overlooked their poor language.

Dude, how many West Malaysians were there in your batch?

It's understandable that you got defensive. Saying their recruitment sucks is basically questioning about your calibre as you are/ were one of their picks Anyway, can you deny that the confidence and quality of new fresh hires have not been on the par with.. lets say those hired many years ago?
flamingtorch (no offence, bro) is a reference as he is among one of the latest hires
