I am from engineering background, usually the SRD will be held where?  and the dresscode, is it formal or casual?

They will schedule u with a date, if u cnt make it then u nid to inform the scheduler n they will re-schedule u. Nt sure how long to wait

SRD will b held to the closest office to ur current. Depend whr u apply for, say u in sg but u apply for M'sia Shell i think u nid to attend it in M'sia

Dress code is formal ,N bear in mind the recruiting process is a long long long waiting.

Good luck

Hi hope you are well.

Could you give me a breakdown of your experience on the SRD?
What is the self reflection interview (put it into context on what Qs they asked)?
What is the E-tray about?
What is the Case study and Group discussion on?
What type of interview is it?

Also for the phone interview, did they ask u a capacity question on something like explaining corporate social responsility?

Your career help would be MUCH appreciated.

Cheers!

No offend, but during SRD, the recruiter said we should not reveal any of this to the shortlisted candidates, it will be unfair to the others. So, lets just keep it fair. After all, why would you need all this answer to pass the SRD ? I past my SRD with no information on the latest recruitment process. If you have the capabilities you will pass it, if u dun...well, work hard on it. Not in this way though.

However I can give u some general advise for the SRD, which is be who you are, remember what u did best in the past, and be confident, Good Luck smile.gif

Cheers !!

Hi,

I understand your concerns -
my only area of doubt is in the case study and group exercise as I see a lot of information on this and I do not no weather to put myself at the same advantage as everyone else by reading all that information or leave it as it would require a lot of reading.  I am wondering if u you could share if it is in fact on the same topics (social investment and debating your idea how to spend on behalf of shell for the group exercise and then the short/med/long term action plans for drilling activity etc on Audki island??
No specific details or your answers are required just the kind of topic so I can practice similar case studies as I have had no experience in them before.

People also say to prepare for the 4 capacity questions on the telephone interview, I had a telephone interview before but I hear these are NOT included anymore.

In terms of the self reflection and every other task I am happy to just take it on the chin on the day.

I understand you being worry for your SRD, but just take it easy, even Shell will mention in the email that "no preparation is require for the SRD" (when you receive yours). Actually the SRD does not require any extra knowledge/technical knowledge from you, unless u are experiences hiring. All the stages in the SRD are prepared to assess how do you plan or handling problem individually and as a team in a given situation. So, honestly there is no practice require for any of the stages. In fact, just lk wat ellokawan said in the reply, u have an un-assessed briefing day where u will get all the information for your case studies and a luxury of time for QnA session.
So, stay calm.

To answer your doubts..the SRD is a 2 day event whereby the first day itself is an unassessed briefing day whereby you'll have the opportunity to get to know everything about your assessment day the following day, and you also have up to 2 hours of QnA, so there's really no point in "preparing" prior to attending SRD. It's a level playing field and you and all the other candidates will be provided with a unilateral amount of information for the actual assessment day. Besides, Shell does not compete and rank candidates amongst each other so you should not view your peers as "competitors"..that being said no one is at an advantage or disadvantage during the assessment day itself.

It's really not what you need to know but how you need to react and how you need to answer.

I think giving the gist of what they are looking for does help one another.

So give pointers. It will help the ppl hiring and those trying to hire.

Also please don keep you current attitude when you get In. Else no one would be helping you. "Those who say keep it for fairness"

I do think giving out advice to the others candidates is appropriate and could really help, I just don't think it need to be "100 % details" telling them every single detail for the process.

Yes, I love sharing with people, just not to spoon feed people, I do provide advice from what I think would be helpful during the recruitment. Don't get me wrong that I'm too selfish to share, I believe u been to SRD, u should know actually there is nothing much we can tell the others, because most of the question are quite standard , which is "your answer lead to the other question". Thats is why I told the others to "remember what you did best in the past and be the person who you are"
Because they did ask ur past achievement and they assess from how u response to each situation given, and this, no one can help.

LOL, don't think that is valid anymore, you better dig deeper on this.
