7 WHAT WE LOOK FOR Whatever role you play within the business, there are certain qualities you will need in order to succeed. Right at the top of the list is the ability to enjoy a challenge. We have a habit of taking on projects that other people think are impossible, such as finding a way to reach disparate pockets of oil from a single drilling platform. Or designing a gas rig that runs on less power than it takes to boil a kettle. As individuals, we all bring something unique to the business, but there are certain key attributes we look for in our people. At Shell we use a certain method of assessing people s capabilities, known as CAR. It stands for: The culture and support I experienced through my internship really reinforced my decision that Shell is where I want to be. Sarah, United States Capacity It takes real intellectual, analytical and creative ability to learn quickly, identify issues, absorb information, make judgements and propose solutions. Achievement We expect plenty of enthusiasm, resilience and confidence are you someone who can always get things done? Relationship skills We look for rounded characters with both sensitivity and influencing skills. Are you able to work effectively with others in a diverse team? 12 13

8 INTERNSHIP EVALUATION PROCESS During your internship a supervisor and mentor will support you directly. You will be regularly assessed throughout your time with us to ensure you get the most from the experience and get feedback on your performance. Your performance throughout your internship will be evaluated by a number of people your supervisor, mentor, business or HR representative assessors. Pre-final year intern upon completion of a Shell internship, students who are 12 months from graduating will be evaluated for full-time employment on our Shell graduate programme. STAGE 1 MID-INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT STAGE 2 END OF INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT STAGE 3 PART A ETRAY A meeting will take place mid-way through your internship with your supervisor and mentor. The purpose of this meeting is to review whether you have met the milestones set at the start of the project, to provide you with feedback on your performance to date and to give you examples of where you are doing well and areas for improvement, using the CAR framework. A meeting at the end of your internship will take place with your supervisor and mentor. Its purpose is to formally review your performance throughout your internship, in relation to the milestones set at the start of your time with us. You will receive feedback on your performance. Before your internship presentation can take place, you must complete an online E-tray exercise. Think of it as the digital equivalent of dealing with a full in-tray: can you absorb information, think quickly and propose solutions? The E-tray assessment comprises two tasks and takes around an hour. STAGE 3 PART B INTERNSHIP PRESENTATION You ll also be asked to prepare a final presentation about your project. This presentation is an opportunity for you to summarise your work during your time with us, share your learnings and highlight your work achievements throughout your project

9 INTERNSHIP OUTCOME If the overall evaluation of your internship meets our employment standards, you will progress to the next stage of our recruitment process. At this point we will seek to identify a suitable employment position for you, before making you a formal graduate employment offer. If the overall evaluation of your internship does not meet our employment standards, sadly, we won t be able to take things any further. But you will be able to re-apply to Shell after a period of three years. Two words I would use to summarise my experience on the graduate programme so far quality growth. Victor, Nigeria 16 17

10 Meet our former interns A graduate joining Shell needs to be equipped with a strong technical base and good personal skills. It is important to have a positive attitude and welcome the opportunity for continual self improvement and to always do the best you can! Finlay, Australia The Shell Internship has given me a truly enjoyable firsthand look into life as a Chemical Engineer in an oil refinery. The challenging hands-on nature of the internship provided numerous avenues for learning, which put my engineering skills to practice and fuelled my determination to make a career in this industry. Shiau Yinn, Singapore Shell s dynamic working environment, commitment to Diversity & Inclusiveness and a structured graduate programme makes my work here more exciting! Hu Xing, China Coming into Shell, the one thing I would advise is never to be afraid to speak up and ask questions on things that you are unsure or curious about. Questions hardly ever go unanswered in Shell. I find that the Shell staff are always willing to share their knowledge and experience with those who are keen and interested to find out more.
