I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shell
Interview
No job description was provided, called for interview under the grounds was an informal meeting but still I did prepared for the first impression but without job description was very little to be properly prepared for which caused uncertainty and a sense of disadvantage.
Overall the interview went well but no formal questions were made & I noticed they only skimmed through my cv skipping most of my experience and skills. I was asked to sell myself.
The person who interviewed wasn't even going to be the immediate manager & the manager for the role at the time of my interview wasn't even yet selected or hired, they were still interviewing for it, hence they didn't have a detailed information for the role requirements & spec until the manager was hired
I was asked to wait 3 weeks to see if I was going to be interviewed on a second stage after a month a 4 lines letter was sent with a decision for not including me further on a second stage and wishing me well.
No decent company would make you wait this long neither invite you for interview without a job description.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Shell (Derby, Angleterre) in Apr 2025
Interview
First a telephone Call a then a. Formal interview in person to discuss the role in further detail. They also asked a lot about my past roles and experiences I would bring to this role
It was Behavioural based. A lot of questions you needed to answer by using the Star technique. They also ask questions just to get to know you as well. Relatively easy.
