      Graduate Program (Entry Role) Interview

      Nov 3, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      The Hague
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at Shell (The Hague) in Dec 2012

      Interview

      1) online questionnaire (something like a cultural fit). Took 20-30 min maximum. 2) Telephone interview (was about 3 hours!) with a person from business. You should demonstrate your key competencies and be ready for a lot of questions regarding specific cases. 3) Recruitment Day in The Hague (2-day event when you are accessed together with several other people). And lots of emails from HR in between :)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      online questionnaire: you should demonstrate that you are an honest person with ethics. If you can do something beneficial for the company but act in an unethical way - DON'T!! Telephone: lots of questions about examples from my life. "Give example when you had to deal with an unusual task". "Give example when you had to manage a team". Lots of specific questions for each case. Preparing for this interview I wrote a 8-page long document and it was very helpful. Recruitment Day: Read all materials they provide extremely carefully. There were 5 tasks overall, for working individually and as a part of a team. It is very important to show that you can make assumptions (e.g. if a case study does not have exact figures, you can estimate them) and be a good member of the team (e.g. if someone is silent, ask for their opinion).
