yep.

Been to the SRD@ Woodbank house (Aberdeen) before. Dunno whether you are doing yours in Nigeria or elsewhere but from what I gathered its pretty much the same standard:

There were Six of us (5 nigerians, 1 Kazakhstani). There are 3 parts to the SRD: Case Study, Group Discussion and Technical Interview/Presentation . . . (see subsequent posts) . . .

----Group Discussion

We were split first into groups of 2's (3 groups). Each group had brief's of 6 possible different projects, the group (of 2's) were to discuss merits and demerits of these projects and decide on two best projects to be undertaken by Shell in the host community. Each group of people decide on their 2 best projects (out of their 6). After this, the groups will be combined and each will make a case for their projects.

Key things they are looking for here, your ability to:
- be time concious
- Listen to other peoples opinions
- Urge quiet people to "talk"
- Balancing host community/govt need & Shell Strategic goals/ objectives

. . . . continues

----Case Study

This is the most difficult , to my mind. Good thing is that it was the first. You are given a scenerio - For example you are the project manager in a fictitious country, Working on a Shell project and you have a heap of info (emails, newspaper extracts etc to read through). There is likely to be some major issues you have to deal with (e.g community unrest, workers dissent, NGO pressure, goverment wahala etc). Your task will be to go tru the information and come up with


(a) The key issues (that can/may have the greatest impact on Shell' business

(b) Your strategy for dealing with these issues

You will discuss these issues and your strategy with 2 very senior Shell Managers

Key things they are looking for here, your ability to:
- Think out of the Box : Consider the big picture. Think about everything
- Identify the key issues, but with very good reasons
- Prepare a strategy which shows you have thought about every aspect
- articulate your thoughts verbally, with confidence.

. . . . continues

----Technical Presentation

We did not do the Technical interview (we already had one on campus) rather we did a technical presentation. (Do check to make sure which you will be doing - interview or presentation). I did a presentation on my Final year project in the University.

If you are doing a presentation, let me know I will tell you what they are looking for and some other tips . . .
-----------------------------

Info on the SRD is avalable on the internet. Remeber always that SHELL has the CART's thing. I have PMed you some Web links that will be helpful.

Good luck.

Enough experience is what human being needed now a days.At least to be versatile in anything that comes your way. At least now i have some first hand information about the Shell Recruitment day Interview even as i have not attended one. .

What Shell calls SRD is generally known as Assesment Center by most HR pple.
Attended one with Total, it was very tasking, a whole day excercise but full of fun.
The discussion group was da bomb for me. It gives you room to express yourself and also test your team ability as well as leadership trait.
However, technical presentation aspect was terrible for me, had very little idea about drilling. The Transocean boys that came find this aspect more interesting. Thats life for you.
Genrally it gave me another perspective of recruitment process, looking forward to more of it for the position of managers.
Guess am tired of entry level positions

Hi X-2-X,

It was really helpful for you to outline the important things Shell are looking for in each of the exercises. I myself will be attending a SRD soon, and would be making a technical presentation. So it would be much appreciated if you could share your views on the technical presentations part.

THANKS!!

Can anyone send me the website or link for the preparation of shell recruitment day.

I have one in the coming week
