house, pls why is it that after a along time of job status reading shortlisted all of a sudden changes to regretted in shell website and also i learn that shell is living the country is it true? or could shell be confuse :confused:
They are rapidly sellin all their onshore facilities and i learnt from a reliable source that they are seriously laying off staffs. So i donno y they wanna recruit in d ist place. Guess they r confused
Guys stop disturbing urself, if u didnt get invitation up till now when people are gettin 2d 3rd stage, then why are u suprised?
D politics in Shell is nt somthin we shld be occupied it, but be rest assured dat they are here 2 stay and not leavin Naija soonest, Deepwater exploration and production is d future of Naija oil industry and all of dem IOCs are pushing in dat direction. God go help us.
@Cipha God bless u, I wonder how a company dat controls almost 35 - 40% of a country's resources will leave, considering Nigeria as one of the oil countries with prospect. See shell will be the last company to leave this country cos they are just like a govt parasatal (ministry of petroleum), deepwater exploration is the bomb considering the MOU; I mean JV & PSP agreement. they started deepwater in Nigeria and waited for sometime believing onshore asset will still pay, but militant and the MOU agreement is not on their favour, so they have to move to offshore (PSP) considering how total and exxonmobil is waxing very strong now, I guess total will be bringing their third vessel(FPSO) in the country within the year and Egina is on is way coming, so shell is pushing very strongly to start the construction of another FPSO if possible buy a big ship and convert it to FPSO and another tie-in-project is on-going nw which will increase the capacity of their production and more hands will be needed, so my dear NJH shell is not leaving the country soon, their are only trying to change the face of their business in Nigeria. I will advice my fellows, If u really want to work in any exploration firm start looking at what deepwater is doing, their relevant courses like subsea production, reservior engr, drilling engr, well engr, process engr, instrument and control, maintenance & inspection (soft mechanical engr), HSE etc they are much, just look around, but pls if you have second class lower I advice you go for master as soon as possible if you must work for any IOCs unless you want to work as a contract staff only if you have the connection for that. I must tell you a time is coming when if you don't have masters you can't work in an oil company I bet you. Check properly nobody below second class upper wrote this shell test, unless the person had master. A man once told me, and said the world is becoming a global village in this business and only a recognised world certificate will be recognised wch Nigeria degree cert is not recognised. so the earlier we start the better for us.Quote:

So my their forumite as we look for jobs we should work on ourselves to be in the right position for that job and pray to God to make it happen. I rest my case and very open for any correction.
XCALITY you made a lot of sense and its seconded.
@XCALITY, that's a gud one.
there is huge politic over the selection process. they are not going any where. no merit in shell process with fact i speak to you all.
there's no politics anywhere.a guy frm southwest raisd dis issue during srd,wen we were askd to mention our state of origin to his amazement out of 8 of us 3 were frm sw,3 frm north,1 ss,& 1se.so tell us d politics.
wHen did the 2nd stage come up and how many people picked for that stage?

fine,my judgemnt cud b wrong,so cud anyone as it was proven to d guy srd.der're possibilty dat in oder srd's u cud ve more ss dan oder regions,so no conclusn is final.if indeed 1 in evry 8 candidate is frm ss,dat wud indeed prove politikg.frm my xperience wen nigerians talk of politics in oil coys dey're nt only referg to long legs bt also to zoning.my verdict is even if all dis negativity exist in d recruitment and only one merit slot,keep faith and fight to be d one who gets d merit slot.
@joseph omokaro, I was not trying to insult you in anyway, technically or otherwise. But if you perceived it as such, then accept my apologies. A point of note however, is the manner in which you have responded. Typically on NJH, a forumite in your shoes (feeling insulted) would have come back spitting fire and throwing every arsenal in his vocabulary at me. But you acted differently, you accepted the possibility of being wrong, talked only about substance, clarified your earlier statements/ thoughts, for me and I guess any right minded person, you showed why you merited being at the SRD and hopefully an employee of Shell. Such an attitude would always ensure harmony in any work place and I must commend the depth of your maturity. Unfortunately, I am not in the position to recommend you to the HR manager of Shell else I should have.......LOL.
Once again, sorry for any of my statements you perceived as being harsh. Now you have clarified you line of thought, I get the picture of what you are saying and that is a very valid point......................peace
@thoughts:tanx man for ur undrstandg also.i felt i was misundrstud wit my earlier post & needed to make sm clarity.all d same we're all workg togethr for each others benefit & i ve always distant myself frm any form of argument in this forum.i bliv ur recommendatn is a plus,lol,God is keepg record,lol,tanx once again.
Omakoro must have stated what he observed at one of the SRD (possibly in Lagos). I guess there are SRD centres in PH and Warri. One should expect that candidates from any SW states would do theirs in Lagos. so, 3/8 for SW in Lagos is not high. Whatever, if the SRD is based on merit, I think any reasonable person would not point any accusing finger(s). We know who the OP is referring to though. Those who never qualified at all and yet have sure place in Shell, NNPC, etc simply because their people are at the helms of affairs here and there.
Omakoro, please respond to my private message which I sent to you yesterday. Thanks.
@Omokaro: Hi bruv, pls i just PMed U?????! Pls reply
Guys...merit so far...
Well said brother, very solid and valid points.Quote:
