Title: Shell Intern Attraction q1 Original
Duration: 2:09 minutes
Description:
A short video interviewing Shell interns about why they decided to work at Shell.
[upbeat music plays]
[Visuals]
On a yellow background, white writing says “Why did you choose to work in the energy sector?”
[Visuals]
A shot of Greg, a young man with short dark hair, wearing a blue shirt and a dark jacket.
[Greg]
So I chose the energy industry because I know that the world is shifting towards renewable future, a greener future. And I know that Shell have a major role to play in that in that sense. So it's been great to see what they're doing in, in the industry and see what changes they're making and how I can impact that. And it's been that's been very fulfilling.
[Visuals]
Camera shows Patrick, a young man with brown short curly hair and a wearing a grey shirt.
[Patrick]
I was initially interested in the energy industry because it's such a dynamic and fast changing field, and I also wanted to work in something which is actually going to have a global difference. So working in something like energy, especially in the renewable energy space, was something really fascinating to me. And so for Shell, I've been working in UK mobility operations, so this is looking at the service stations and all the operations and all the projects and various things behind that.
[Visuals]
Shot of Sophie, a young woman with long dark wavy hair wearing a red dress.
[Sophie]
I always knew that I really didn't want to do something like banking or finance that was very kind of difficult to grasp. And I really like the fact that the energy industry has such a strong impact on people's lives and that really, through working at a company like Shell, you can have a say in, you know, how people power their lives. And it's such a vital element to our society that I thought, you know, I could really contribute to things in a way that I found tangible and exciting.
[Visuals]
Misha, a young woman with long dark hair is sitting in a home office.
[Misha]
The reason I'm interested in the energy industry is because I feel like it's such a vital part right now in our society about kind of climate change and global warming. So I wanted to see and wanted to work in like a global corporation and see kind of what they're doing to make changes and see if I can get involved in almost in this energy transition system and what I can do to help.
[Visuals]
Camera returns to the Greg.
[Greg]
I would say considering the transition towards a greener future, I was quite lucky to work on a project that was specifically to do with repurposing oil and gas platforms into renewable energy hubs. So I'm really like at the forefront of, of that transition, and it's been great to see the changes that Shell are making and then how I can help them out. That's, that's been very fulfilling.

Patrick, a young man with curly brown hair and a grey shirt sits in front of a blue patterned wall.
[Patrick]
I would describe the culture as inclusive and trusting. That whole aspect of how interconnected the business is and everyone relying on one another to drive the, drive the business forward. There's not this whole competitive cutthroat competition, which you might see in other in other areas and other businesses. It's very much everyone working together towards key projects, which all drive value for Shell and also in the sustainability sphere. Everyone's working towards the same goal, and everyone acknowledges that we're all working towards the same goal.

[Misha]
So the work culture in Shell is very, very friendly and they really stand by their values. So I think always kind of knowing when to ask for help and that everyone's always willing to give help and the kind of, you know, encourage you to learn and push yourself. So it's a great way to challenge yourself and I guess keep aiming high with kind of diversity. I computer science, I felt like a lot of times you don't see many women in computer science. But in my team, my buddy, she, her name was Suzanne. So it's great to have that kind of connexion with her and being able to see people kind of like you in the area. But also I kind of got involved with the committees and the networks, the Asian network. So it's nice to see kind of other Asians as well working in Shell and being able to talk to them.

[Greg]
So I would describe the culture as friendly. Everyone is more than willing to help you with anything that you're stuck on. There's always someone who's available. There's always also always someone that's a professional in something that you're trying to look for or information you're trying to find. And people are more than happy to, to, to, give you contacts from other people within Shell as well.

My colleagues have been really lovely. I've actually been really surprised because I think initially going into it, I was really worried that it was going to be a very hostile corporate environment that was really alien to me. But actually, Shell's company culture has been so welcoming and lovely.

A short video interviewing Shell interns about their experiences in the internship scheme.

On a yellow background, white writing says “What did you enjoy most about your time at Shell?”
[Visuals]
Sophie, a young woman with long dark curly hair wearing a red dress, also against a blue patterned wall.
[Sophie]
I think I've enjoyed most definitely the people, everyone's been so lovely, which has been really amazing, and I suppose this is two things, but being in the office is really, really nice. I really enjoyed that the flexibility. But I think just getting to be in the shell centre, you know, watch the London Eye move past is so cool, and I've really valued that opportunity to feel like a real corporate businesswoman.
[Visuals]
Greg, a young man with short dark hair wearing a blue shirt and black jacket sits in front of a blue patterned wall.
[Greg]
The one thing that I've enjoyed most about the internship is probably seeing the career prospects because of the offshore industry, something that I really want to go into. But I never knew how things I learnt in university can be applied to that. And so talking to people and seeing what they do on a day to day basis and, and the, the things, comparing the things that I do at university and what they work on, it's been great to see that the progression that I can take in the future.
[Visuals]
Patrick, a young man with curly brown hair and a grey shirt sits in front of a blue patterned wall.
[Patrick]
The one thing I think I've enjoyed most about my time in the internship is just generally meeting as such a wide variety of people and gaining that kind of diversity of thoughts. Finding out about different, different people's perspectives, about what their views are on various things.
[Visuals]
Misha, a young woman with long dark hair is sitting in a home office.
[Misha]
I really enjoy, like constantly learning. I felt like every day I was learning something new during the experience, and so I would never felt like bored or even kind of, there's always something challenging happening, so it was nice to know. Like through the experience, I was always growing.

Description:
A short video interviewing Shell interns about the internship scheme.

[Visuals]
On a yellow background, white writing says “what would you say to a student considering applying for a Shell internship?
[Visuals]
Greg, a young man with short dark hair wearing a blue shirt and black jacket sits in front of a blue patterned wall.
[Greg]
There's one thing I'd say to a student applying would be that it's really what you make of it. The internship, as long as you're passionate and driven towards the subject that you apply for, then the information's all out there and everyone is more than willing to help you with, with your project. You can expand your network by talking to different people in loads of different fields in Shell. And, and it's been great talking to the professionals in those fields and seeing how the things that you learn in university, for example, are applied in the industry.
[Visuals]
Misha, a young woman with long dark hair is sitting in a home office.
[Misha]
The one advice I would give when applying is, I feel like you might think it's out of your reach, but I feel like you should go for it anyway, even if you're not too sure about, like the energy industry. Like when I came in, I didn't know much about it. It was, it's a really great experience to learn more. So kind of go through the application process and you realise like, you know, everyone is willing to help you through. So, yeah, just go for it, I guess.
[Visuals]
Patrick, a young man with curly brown hair and a grey shirt sits in front of a blue patterned wall.
[Patrick]
The one thing I would say to a student applying to Shell would be to do your homework about Shell, know why you want to apply. When you actually dig into all the projects and the various things that are going on here, you uncover some really incredible projects which are going on, and it's all incredibly fascinating.
[Visuals]
Sophie, a young woman with long dark curly hair wearing a red dress, also against a blue patterned wall.
[Sophie]
One thing I would say is don't write yourself off before you've even applied, because for me, you know, I went into it doing a philosophy and politics degree, which is nothing to do with energy or science or geography or anything that I thought would be valued by Shell.
