i think the 5 per day for medicals is correct and the medicals holds throughout this week, that's about 25 people this week.

Thanks Toluluck for your concern & encouragement. But i am scared of the number that have been invited so far for medicals. Those that did SITP last year were less than 30 from what i heard. So if 25 persons have been invited for medicals then it stands to reason that the chances are very slim for those of us who have not been invited. I am still very prayerful about it because non of us that did SRD in my group have been invited for medicals altho 4 out of the 8 of us have been rejected.

Is there anyone that did SRD in July, at Port Harcourt that have been invited for medicals? Please ur response would be highly appreciated as it may go a long way to calm tense nerves.

Beefing?
Dnt get me wrong,why wud I ever do dat?
Wat I want him to understand is that, in this recruitment process the fact that u hav Msc does not giv u an edge over some1 who doesn't.
Ur performance in d test,interview is wat matters.

Please, Where are the medicals being held?

Guy its okay. like princecharm said, you dont have to beef. Every body understands how the recruitment process works. you should have read my previous post, I clearly understood it. But the truth is, your body language sounded like you were beefing. it wasn't hard for anybody to notice. Dont blame princecharm for assuming. he probably saw it as disrespectful.
I like your zeal though, you have been very useful to this forum. I hope you get the job, I hope we all do. By the way, Shell has started calling again.

Just to add my usual small opinion. I am not taking sides, neither am I predicting doom for anybody's employment chance(s) with Shell, but I would like to say one or two things that I know about Shell.

Now, the people 'I' know who work for Shell don't have master's. They are just B.Sc graduates. They graduated from Akoka(figure that out). I think they got into Shell last year. Master's is not really 'the' huge plus a person must have before he can work for Shell. There are other vital soft skills that are expected of prospective employees. In fact, Shell is more interested in what you have to offer as clearly stated in their Capacity, Curiosity blah blah blah. I know of many master's students that were rejected by Shell for this year's summer internship in The Hague, Netherlands. I also heard of a number of 'just' B.Sc holders that were accepted into the internship programme in lieu of the master's students. And please don't say I am beefing anybody because I, myself, am a master's student.

Another thing people have to be aware of is this: That you are a student doing a particular programme does not necessarily mean that you are going to successfully complete the programme at the stipulated time. I have seen many people who were students of a particular course, but failed to complete the course. In all honesty, the certificate that a person truly holds at a given time is the person's academic qualification at that time; no more, no less. As an illustration, consider two guys. Let's call them Mr. A and Mr. B. Both already have their B.Sc degrees; however, Mr.B is a master's student at a top university on planet XY while Mr.A is not a master's student. Assuming Mr.A has not studied for any other qualification since obtaining his B.Sc, and Mr.B went straight from B.Sc to master's, please, tell me, besides their B.Sc degrees, what are their highest qualifications? What higher qualification(as evidenced by a certificate or any paper signifying programme completion) does Mr.B have that Mr.A does not have?

The answer to the above question will clear the air on whether there is beefing or not..

Peace!

I still cnt understand why sm ppl will still think I'm beefing,just cos I ddnt post wat u wanted to hear?,I posted d truth as it is,Masters or No masters u ar still applying for GRADUATE recruitment.
A lot of ppl view this thread but dnt say anythn,I hav learnt a lot in NHJ frm wat other ppl post here, dats why I try to post any piece of useful info I hav for others to see,I dnt comment on wat I dnt know anythn about,but sm ppl dnt appreciate dat,they ar even calling it beefing.
I think its better I say less so as not be tagged witsome more names,d less I post the better sm ppl here will feel,

if I hav offended any1 in anyway,pls I'm sorry,Peace.

@ Engr. please dont take offence....tempers tend to get frail especially in this critical part of the recruitment process...and common reason flees most people including me...i have a feeling some of the follow up commentss were just done to trigger a word battle. Please lets all keep praying for Gods favour.
@lettheliteshine: please explain further...started calling for medicals and when is it...thanks

Pls, make it clear. Have they started calling another group for medicals or what? I want to know bcos i am still xpecting to be called. Pls, the info would be very useful to me.

@kessy2011....To the best of my knowledge,no more SRD peeps have been sent medical test invites since last tuesday. They'll definitely send more along the line, as they assess srd performance vis a vis the available number of entry slots for this year. Since there aint no more SITP in warri,I doubt there'll be a simultaneous starting date for all the new intakes, so that means there's still hope ƒ?? those yet to do medicals.

On a personal note though,I'm yet to hear of any civil engineering medical invitees from the previous batch invited. Does anyone in the house have any info to the contrary??

@HansZimmer thanks for the info. I just hope that they will invite more people for the medicals.

@HansZemmer ,pls i want to know whether shell normaly recruit across all fields each year e.g mech,elect,civil or course is not as relevant as srd perfomance and pls is there any mech engr invited.pls anyone wt useful info.

@mbello...From previous trends,it usually cuts across all engineering and geoscience disciplines, though the number varies on a 'need' basis. This means that even after srd performance is considered, they'll still have to decide the required number of a each discipline that can be absorbed.(Hence the larger number of certain courses over others).
I hope this answers your question.

@Mbello They have invited some Mechanical Engineering graduate..

Hello all, the house is becoming very silent, why? Let us keep it warm as we wait uopn the lord for our medical invites and offer letters. All the best NHjobbers.

Hello House,
I pray to God Almighty to help us with SPDC job. Let them see reasons to invite us for medicals and issue us offer letters. All these I pray IJN. The waiting is not easy but I am fully assured by baba God that all will be well with us.

A big AMEN to your prayer....its not being easy but am learnin to have a free mind...

I know that some of us are very afraid for their inability to check application status at Shell website. Shell did not delete your application status. It is automated for applications that are more than 6 months to go off as you attempt to check it under the application status for the last 6 months icon. But you can view your application status now by checking the view all applications icon. So dont worry, all is well with your Shell application IJN.

Please we need updates from guys that have done their medicals....have you been given offer letters?

no they havnt

Thanks babestell...all the best

I believe Shell will contact some of us this week with medical invites! Let's keep the hope alive! We will have testimonies eventually!
