Shell Scholarship Malaysia 2014

Hello everyone, since other blogs have been so much help to me I will update mine too. Just a little something to help applicants for future shell scholarship applications. (International application)
The whole process can be found on the shell website here.

Step 1 - Online Application

Step 2 - Online Logics Ability Test

Step 3 - An Interview 

Step 4 – Mini Shell Recruitment Day

Step 5 - Offer

This year (2014) the scholarship panel postponed their processing duration till after Raya - this makes the scholars on time for the UCAS applications but not for Australian universities. The application deadline was on 28th February.

On the 16th of April i received an invitation for the online assessment. Due to some complications I was not listed for the phone interview, or it got postponed i wasn't sure. But a few months after April I found out that they were postponing the scholarship interviews till after Raya. I received the telephone interview on 15/07/2014. She scheduled for an interview the next day.
The telephone interview:
The format this year defers from previous years. More personal and slightly simpler, dare I say? First she asked for my biggest achievements. Then she asked about the challenges I faced while attaining the achievement above. Next was the biggest change I've experienced and how I've handled it. Then there was the motivation. What motivates me in life? Finally she asked about my career goals - why do I want to work in the oil and gas industry?
Here's a recap:

• Achievements
• Changes in life
• Motivation
• Career goals

Currently I am still waiting for the feedback if I can attend the mini Shell recruitment day. All the best to those applying, Might be helpful, might not, I feel obligated anyways - considering the wait I had to endure. Heh.

Hoping for things to fall into place. Been so busy with work. Yes I am actually working and it can be quite intense at times but I love the environment so I can say I am no longer lazing around! Heres to trusting God! I got accepted into 1/3 Universities today. Still waiting for two more, but I am already overjoyed!
