SRD over.....

I just got back from the shell recruitment day(srd).... what challenging two days. Yesterday was for them to brief us..... then today the actual srd. So today we had 4 tasks.... a proposal, case study, group discussion and then a final interview in the end. Lets just say..... by the end of the day, maybe due to stress, or just tired..... people started to look like zombies. They only employ on average 20% of the participants during an srd..... I dont know about the chances.... but after I answered the final question from the dutch assessor Mr Wim during my proposal presentation....he giggled. So that wasnt a good sign lol. The shell headquarters is full of britons and dutch people. As I was finishing my proposal..... I told myself..... maybe I should treat this srd just as an experience.

Nevertheless..... it was a wonderful experience with 7 wonderful people. There were 8 of us today.... 2 Mirians, 3 Kuchingites, 2 west malaysians and a sabahan. And my hotel roommate, whos also from kuching.... was my senior at st josephs, 2 years senior. He already got his masters..... and also currently working with a firm. I found out that there was also a srd yesterday.... so there could be more srd's on other days as well.

It felt like we were on the apprentice(berangan)..... all staying in the same hotel..... everyone was analyzing everyone.... everyone thought the mirian girl.... who obviously didnt need a hotel room..... is a major threat. During the briefing.... wah popapopa in a super confident articulate way.... the guys were all intimidated. We told ourselves.... we will not be that harvard guy on the apprentice 2 who was outspoken and kenak hentam by the two ladies in trump's boardroom lol. But in fairness to her..... she was very nice.... and even gave us a mini tour of Miri and took us out to dinner. So I guess..... as a whole its a good experience for me. If dont get it... no rezeki lah.... apa boleh buat.
