First submit online application. Quite a long wait before telephone interview. Interview was about 45 mins. First part about career preferences, followed by achievements and past experiences. Focus is on CART. Last part is a discussion on a topic you pick from 4 possible choices from the perspective of a CEO of a company.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Assen) in Dec 2023
Interview
Eerst werden persoonlijkheidsvragen, CV, motivatie opgevraagd. Eenmaal verder in het proces werd verwacht korte video's op te nemen over persoonlijke situaties die reflecteerden op de gestelde vragen. Hierbij moest je in 3 minuten antwoord geven en filmen op een vraag zoals: wat is de reden dat je zo graag bij Shell het Graduate Program zou willen volgen?

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Shell in Feb 2012
Interview
First I got a phone interview. This consisted out of standard questions like your role in different teams and how do you handle conflicts.. Just think of clear examples using the Shell CAR criteria as a reference. In the next part you get to choose a topic out of 4 topics and have to talk about this with the interviewer. Just make sure you see the bigger picture and approach the topic from different angles.
After passing the phone interview I was invited to the assessment days. The first day is filled with a presentation about Shell values and what to expect when taking the assessment. You also practice a case-study. The next day the actual assessment is taken. You get time to prepare for each of the 3 interviews. There is a case-study, a group discussion and an interview with the same kind of format of the phone interview.

Question 1
Questions in the case study were about risk, implications and how to implement solutions. In the group discussion everyone has to answer one question and those are mainly about why you made certain decisions.
