hmm...........so i guess we should all brace up for the coming shell tsunami...............it is well

I just received a letter from shell just now informing me that my status has been changed to regretted, I guess they are sending it to every one the didn't invite for the test because a friend of mine just received his today as well, Shell is really an heart break, what an unprofessional way of recruiting i used to respect shell now i don't think they are well trained on how to conduct recruitment exercise. No regards for people feelings, it is too bad to have raised ones hope only to dash it to the wind. I had a project i was suppose to have got my self involved to at least put a little money in my pocket, because it was suppose to last for a whole month and it is still ongoing, i decided to back out so i can make every preparation to write the test, hoping i will be invited since i was shortlisted. But this is worse than an hearth break. i wasn't just denied a chance to take the test but the chance to make some cool money for man to survive, and groove on. Well all hope is not lost this is good bye to shell and anything that has to do with them. in the future i don't think i will ever apply for anything that concerns shell. It would have been better if my status was regretted from the beginning, at least i would have gotten the money and experience for that job. Any way GOODBYE SHELL. U cannot kill my hope, i will always make it with or without getting shell job, and maybe one i will buy shell and sell in pieces.
To all my folks in the house thanks for your advise and update, at least it help to ease the stress, i wouldn't have imagine my self in PH and not allowed to take the test. in that case i would have lost my flight fare in addition to this disappointment. If there is any one working in shell reading my thread, try and understand that this is the worse disappointment i have received since my job search begin, and please call the attentions of your boss and those in charge of this local opportunities recruitment to this post and please advise them not to try on of this rubbish ever again, I even called the shell Nigeria phone numbers and couldn't get any useful response when this confusion was looming in the house, that is very unprofessional Well BYE everyone.

Thanks once again.

@Power44: I feel you sweetie. In the same shoes here.
@thought: nothing to do with age. I'm 23, geologist, 2.1 . Maybe they just don't like my pretty face . I don't like them either.... not any more
@house: for those who scaled through, my prayers for your success. May the almighty who knows best see you through. Go in there and make a change!!! Thanks to Triple-C my love and Dave who've done their best for us. More power to your elbows.

@Power44, nobody is happy towards the conducts of shell in this year's local recruitment process, total poor organization and coordination. the whole plan and process is a failure, which they know.
Everything is changing in shell including this present recruitment, its a different pattern they adopted hoping to get it right but its a failure for the first time.
Don't say you can never apply for shell again, its a good place to start a career, and you might be favoured next time, most guys who are fustrated in the pursuit of anything end up controlling that. keep your head high and focus you will make it.
@HOUSE, this is what I knw, the shortlisted guys were much and it was beyond their budget for the process, the first means was to filter guys and invite guys with master+degree and abt 3% of 2.1 graduates, which they did, but got it wrong. people complained even their management, so they have to re-consider and send the second IV to lucky ones with 2.1 and they will be writing 2day and 2moro.
So, if you didn't make it this year next year may be your turn, but my advice to all is, if you know how you can go for your master whether in 9ja or abroad just do it, especially does with 2.2 down, recruitments in nigeria are changing towards that direction mostly for these oil multinationals.
One luv.

My application still says shortlisted...What's going on guys

Everyone whose status has been regretted,it's hard but please take heart,move on&don't take anything negative from this experience
@xcality i know you are hurt but do you know what would have happened to you if you had travelled to write the test or embarked on your seemingly profitable project......everything happens for a reason&God knows you so much that He knows what to do to make you miss a tragedy......i'm not a pastor in fact so far from it but could it be that if you had travelled,that would have been the last journey you would ever make.could it be that an accident would have happened during the course of your project&God knows that the only way He can make you miss it is to make you get shortlisted knowing that you would want to prepare for the test and forget the project.
Friends,i was also shortlisted&have been preparing to the extent that i took ill&was hospitalized for about a week&i'm just recurperating but still i haven't gotten any invite.Let's look on the bright side.i believe God has everything all planned out for our good,He is the one orchestrating our lives.Let's just do our part&trust Him to do the part we can't do.Don't give up,anything can still happen,it's not over till it's over.
