[Title]

Engineer - India

[Abhilasha]

I was born in India.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage of Abhilasha speaking into the camera, seen against the background of an office interior.

[Abhilasha]

Life decisions, the choices, everything is controlled by the family.

[Video footage]

We see wide-angle footage, cutting to a close-up, of Abhilasha seated with a laptop on a window ledge in a modern office, looking out the window at the cityscape below. This cuts to a bird’s eye view of the view below, seen through the window, where we see people moving about a courtyard in the business complex. Next, we see wide-angle footage of multiple levels of glass-fronted offices in adjacent office towers.

[Abhilasha]

My grandfather, grandmother, or my parents were not a part of this mindset. They never put any restrictions on my dressing, on my talking, on my education.

[Video footage]

Panning aerial footage of city streets and buildings in India. A series of still shots of Abhilasha posing for the camera with various family members successively transition into and out of frame.

[Abhilasha]

My family allowed me to dream, to make them proud. That’s a constant goal throughout whatever I do.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage of Abhilasha speaking into the camera, as before. Extreme wide-angle footage of Abhilasha striding across a paved area in a busy business district towards a flight of stairs. We cut back to Abhilasha speaking into the camera, and then back to the footage of her walking in the business district, this time shown in close-up.

[Abhilasha]

Electricity was the major issue in my childhood, and it is still an issue there.

[Video footage]

Close-up of the flame burning on a tin-and-wick lamp; in the dim background, someone turns the pages of a book. Low-angle footage of a flickering lightbulb in a fitting fixed to a roughly-built wall in an otherwise dark room.

[Abhilasha]

When I joined Shell, that’s when I realized, it is putting in so much effort to invest in new technologies.

[Video footage]

High-angle still shot of a group of Shell employees smiling up at the camera, Abhilasha standing in the middle of the group. Close-up footage of Abhilasha speaking into the camera, as before. Low-angle footage of graphics and data displayed on a screen.

[Abhilasha]

I think Shell is providing society the reliable and affordable access to energy, because its prime focus is people.

[Video footage]

Slow-motion low-angle footage of an Indian woman walking past a bank of solar panels beneath a bright blue sky, moving in the direction of frame-left; the woman is wearing a sari and carrying a pot on her head. Low-angle footage of men erecting a solar panel on top of a wall in a rural setting where we see livestock grazing and a young boy standing at frame-right, looking on. Low-angle close-up footage of a young man screwing a lightbulb into an electrical fitting suspended from a tin roof. Tilting wide-angle view of two Shell workers wearing full safety gear standing together in front of a large industrial plant as they talk.

Slow-motion footage of a group of Shell employees waving into the camera as it pans across the group, who are mostly wearing red coveralls and yellow Shell-branded safety helmets.

[Abhilasha]

It’s a very people-centric company, and to be working in a company which genuinely cares for you is a big thing for me.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage of Abhilasha speaking into the camera, as before. Medium footage of Abhilasha and colleagues seated together in reception-style chairs in an open office environment, engaged in discussion. Close-up footage of Abhilasha speaking into the camera, as before. We dissolve to a white background.

[Hayley]

I’m Hayley. I’m a graduate petroleum engineer, currently a drilling engineer in the North Sea.

Bird’s eye view of one of the concrete-legged Brent platforms in the North Sea, seen below a cloudy blue sky.

[Hayley]

I’m passionate about what I do. I loved Maths. I love Physics. I love rocks and the world around me.

[Video footage]

Close-up of the wheels/landing gear of a helicopter as it lands on a helideck; in the background, we see an oil platform at some distance. Close-up footage of Hayley speaking into the camera, as before.

[Hayley]

I was at a university fair and I saw Shell actually presenting about the energy transition and new energy ventures. I thought it was brilliant.

[Video footage]

High angle side view of an FPSO moving though the ocean as the sun sets in a pink-hued sky. This cuts to a circling bird’s eye view of the FPSO and we catch a glimpse of the moon in the pink-hued sky.

[Hayley]

It probably comes back to when I did some humanitarian work in Honduras and also in Ghana, and I was providing energy access for people.

[Video footage and animated sequence]

Animated graphic of a control-line model aircraft, together with control line and handle, seen against cloudy blue skies. This cuts to low-angle footage of a control-line aircraft, with attached control line, seen moving across a pale, cloudy blue sky. Close-up profile-view footage of Hayley speaking into the first camera, cutting to archival footage of Hayley carrying a young child at a rural homestead; as she looks around and points, the camera pans across in the direction she is pointing.

[Hayley]

It’s day one of building here; it’s quite backbreaking work.

[Video footage]

Archival footage of Hayley speaking into the camera, seen against the background of the rural homestead, briefly cutting to footage of her team shovelling sand and mixing cement nearby, before the shot returns to Hayley as she speaks into the camera.

[Hayley]

And I saw the impact it had on families, on children, the smiles, the positivity.

[Video footage]

Close-up profile-view footage of Hayley speaking into the first camera. We transition into and out of a still shot of Hayley and a child she is carrying posing against a background of pale sky. Next, more archival footage of Hayley and a member of her team seated atop a ladder next to the wall of a rural house; other team members pass an item to them which they transfer to the tin roof of the rural home.

[Hayley]

If we want our planet to be there for our grandchildren, I think we need to be risky.

[Video footage]

Again, we transition into and out of a still shot of Hayley and a local member of the community smiling for the camera. Close-up footage of Hayley speaking into the camera, as before.

[Hayley]

Every day that I’m working offshore, we are involved in actually trying to reduce our carbon footprint.

[Video footage]

Medium footage of Hayley seated at a table, pen in hand, a book open in front of her; she looks thoughtfully out through the window in the background. We cut to a low-angle close-up of Hayley as she turns her attention back to the book in front of her. Next, we see a close-up of her hand holding the pen and writing in the book. Close-up footage of Hayley speaking into the camera, as before.

[Hayley]

It’s about changing that landscape, it’s about protecting our planet, it’s about the quality of people’s lives. There was no other option for me.

[Video footage]

We see portrait selfie footage of Hayley, wearing her Shell safety gear and looking down into the mobile phone’s camera, with white borders either side of the footage. Panning aerial footage moving through mist and over the tops of trees in a green, forested area. Low-angle footage of the sun breaking through green foliage in a forested area.

[Hayley]

We can meet this challenge, and we will, I think, yeah.

It’s just great to know that I’m part of a team and I don’t have to do this journey on my own.

[Video footage]

Medium footage of Hayley and her colleagues gathered around a cocktail table, having drinks and socialising, cutting back to a low-angle close-up of Hayley as she laughs. Close-up profile-view footage of Hayley speaking into the first camera. We dissolve to a white background.

MAKE THE FUTURE

[Animated sequence]

A globe surrounded by various coloured icons spinning around it appears onscreen, shot changes to show Deanna, facing camera.

[Deanna]

Hi, I’m Deanna. Welcome to Shell. Today, I’m going to take you through the steps for applying to the Shell Graduate Programme. Just some tips from me before we start.

[Animated sequence]

Deanna appears onscreen. A blue coloured banner appears at her side with the words Welcome to Shell. Banner flies out. Various coloured icons appear around Deanna, a mobile phone with moving arrow leading to yellow text square with words Shell Graduate Programme, moving to three document icons numbered 1, 2, 3.

[Deanna]

We’re so much more than an energy company, so do your research and update your CV accordingly.

[Animated sequence]

Various coloured icons depicting energy related machinery and windmills fade in and out on the screen around Deanna.

[Deanna]

Here at Shell we are searching for ways to meet the energy needs of the future, taking on challenges to help the world progress is what we have done since the day we started. You’ll find loads of stuff on the Shell website to help you find a programme suited to you, including the degree matcher which pretty much does what it says. It guides you on a match between your degree discipline with our skill pool of disciplines.

[Animated sequence]

A green globe surrounded by various coloured icons spinning around it appears onscreen. The icons flow out to the side of screen. Shot transitions to a screen showing many different coloured icons. Various shots of icons lighting up and changing to the same colour when a match is made. Shot changes to two large red icons which fill the screen.

[Deanna]

When you’re ready the next step is the application form which takes about 10 minutes to complete. If you’re on LinkedIn save time by simply pulling across your profile.

[Animated sequence]

Deanna facing camera. Icons appear onscreen representing an application form, an egg timer, a completed form. A large blue 1 appears at Dian’s side. Three forms numbered 1, 2, 3 appear which then appear to drop into an envelope. The envelope is sealed and appears to be emailed.

[Deanna]

After you have submitted your online application, you’ll go through to Stage 1 where you are asked to complete four online assessments. You’ll get an email to guide you through this, but in a nutshell, these are games that measure various cognitive abilities and your working style preferences by presenting you with different challenges. You’ll need to accomplish these online assessments within 5 days of receiving them.

 [Animated sequence]

Four illustrations of mobile phones displaying four different game-based assessments appear onscreen. Deanna is then seen facing camera. A cell phone icon appears with a SENT message appearing onscreen. The cell phone icon flies offscreen. A mobile phone appears onscreen displaying a game where the candidate has to memorise sequences of numbers and letters. The mobile phone fades and an icon representing a calendar appears in the middle of the screen. Pages labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are pulled off.

[Deanna]

Applicants who are successfully shortlisted will then receive an email inviting them to progress to the On-Demand Video Interview, a self-recorded video submission.

[Animated sequence]

Various icons appear onscreen against a pink background, representing a monitor, keyboard and mouse, completed forms, a pen and pencil. The forms have computerised avatars at the top. A monitor on which the email icon and avatar icon appear to be emailed. An arrow points from the monitor to a text box withwords: ON-DEMAND VIDEO INTERVIEW. A monitor appears showing a recording being made with applicants answering questions. Flashing text 10 DAYS at the side. A text box reading VIDEO SUBMISSION at bottom of screen.

[Deanna]

Our Graduate Recruitment Team will then review your application and let you know if you are through to the next and final step. This is our Live Virtual session. Essentially an online interview with 2 Shell employees and a case study to discuss.

[Animated sequence]

Close-up of Deanna. At one side of screen an eye icon is shown representing review of application. At other side of screen arms are shown with thumbs pointing up. Sign appears at top of screen reading ON AIR. Two vari-coloured spinning circles appear on screen. In the centre of one the number 2 appears. In the other the word YOU appears. Three smaller spinning circles appear. In the centre of one there is a dialogue icon, in another a clipboard icon, in the third an icon representing two people.

[Deanna]

This is where you have a chance to get to know us and for us to get to know you even better. So, expect this part to take around 2 hours. We’ll tell you more about this closer to the time, so you can prepare.

[Animated sequence]

A circle appears with the word YOU centred. Various icons spinning around the word gradually fade out.

[Deanna]

If you are successful, first of all, congratulations. We’ll invite you to your nearest Shell office so you can see where you’ll be working, your future manager and other successful graduates. It’s a great opportunity to really get a feel for the place. That’s it from us for now. You have now got the key information you need to get started with your application. Good luck and perhaps the next time we meet it will be as colleagues.

[Animated sequence]

A yellow banner appears with CONGRATULATIONS in black. A globe appears with many locations pinpointed in red. Zooms in to show one pinpoint icon changing to yellow, a building appearing in close-up. A Welcome sign is on front of building. A shot showing people meeting and getting to know each other. Close-up of Deanna. Animated document appears at her side showing ticked steps on the application. Blue text box appears with words Good luck in white. Deanna fades out.
