What does Shell look for in recruits?

We have identified the following qualities as critical to high performance in Shell.  We seek students who demonstrate these attributes whether they are applying for the Graduate Program, Internships (vacation work), Gourami or Personal Development Awards.

 

 

Capacity

    The ability to analyse data quickly and learn fast, basing judgments on fact not sentiment;

    Analysing outside existing boundaries to identify implications and learn from others;

    The creativity to propose innovative solutions and manage uncertainty within complex environments to produce workable solutions.

 

In other words, your analytical ability to place problems in a wide but relevant perspective.

 

 

Achievement

    The drive and enthusiasm to set themselves and others challenging unambiguous targets;

    The resilience to deliver;

    The courage and self-confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems and go against the crowd when necessary.

 

In other words, your ability to get things done.

 

 

Relationships

    Genuine respect and concern for people and valuing everyone regardless of culture or status;

    Demonstrating honesty and integrity in all their actions;

    Creating trust by open and direct communications;

    Persuading others by the inspiration, sensitivity and clarity of their argument;

    Arranging clear means of communication and decision making.

 

Technical

If you are applying for a technical position (ie: engineering/sciences), you’ll also be assessed against technical skill sets relevant to the specific role. You must be able to appreciate technical issues and be ready for technical challenge.
