Please describe the interview process and assessments.
It was an enjoyable experience and not drawn out too long.
Graduate, Brisbane
I enjoyed the interview process. The games were unique to the company and didn't seem like they were trying to catch us out. Following this I found the Case Study a good challenge where everyone can answer in their own way without stress of missing the 'correct answer'.
Graduate, Perth
It was rigorous but I feel accomplished knowing I made it through the process successfully. The process itself was great - I liked the case study. I also respected the time HR took to provide me with constructive feedback.
Graduate, Brisbane
What questions were you asked in your interviews?
Typical STAR questions. Case Study.
Graduate, Brisbane
Why do you want to work for Shell?
Graduate, Perth
I was given a case study and asked questions about that. This was the final stage. Prior to this, I can't remember the questions I was asked.

Do you have any specific tips and advice for candidates applying to your company? How would you recommend they best prepare?
Try and speak to someone who works at Shell.
Graduate, Brisbane
Take the time to read up about the company, extra knowledge never hurts. It is a controversial industry, understand if and why you wish to join and convey this to the interviewers.
Graduate, Perth
Ensure your CV is up to date and doesn't have spelling errors, seek advice on your CV layout to ensure it is well read and looks nice, write a cover letter that specifically relates to the company you are applying for, do some background research on the company and understand why you want to work there i.e., is it because of the green projects they are doing? Why are you interested in this? Reflect on situations you have been in that can be used as examples to answer questions i.e., team projects at university where you may have had to manage a group. When you get the case study, make sure you read it in depth and do some minor research on things you may not understand i.e., what is drilling? Don't dwell on the details of the case study - they don't expect you to be an expert offshore oil platform engineer, just trust the knowledge and common sense you already have.
