I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2012
Interview
Interview starts over the phone with a low-level staff asking standard questions. On-line job application asks relatively detailed job experience questions. Response took 4-6 weeks. Next response takes 3 weeks. Final interview is with a panel group at head office. At least 3 people on panel: HR, hiring manager and former job holder. Questions asked were situational and/or experienced-based. It took about 1.5 hours. Hiring advise was another 2 weeks. Overall period, from application to hiring, took 10-12 weeks.
