Unfortunately, I join the legion of people who were not selected.
Fortunately, every ending is a beginning of something new!
Congratulations to everyone who applied! Well done, brave warriors!

I am having some hard time finding the heads of the units...I mean, where do I look for those names?
In some DGs websites I can't even find the different units... I suppose I can't email the Head of the DG right?

@kimkillah I suppose the very head of the DG is hard to reach, maybe the have a secretary or maybe there is a person in charge of of recruitment or the administration of the unit. Sorry I'm a first timer in this so also trying to figure this out right now.
Does anyone know of you can access your application form somewhere? I've looked, but haven't found anything :/

Got preselected as well
@kimkillah You can check the directory or the organisation chart of a certain DG you'd like to work in http://ec.europa.eu/about/ds_en.htm
And after find email of the person in the general directory of EC http://ec.europa.eu/staffdir/plsql/gsys_tel.display_search?pLang=EN
Well, that's one solution I came up with (also first timer ), if anyone comes up with something better, share the idea

I really wasn't prepared for lobbying, I didn't think I was likely to pass the preselection.
Btw, I'm studying the organizational charts and selecting some units. I'd like to send most of the email by monday, as I suppose all the other preselected will do the same...

Same here, it's seems we'll all have studying EC & DGs & lobbying weekend Although it might cause vice versa effect - as written in the preselection email, we should contact them via the emails stated - in this moment I'm not sure what would be better... Any experienced EC trainees here? Did you lobby directly to the head of the units or to those general trainees emails?

To be quite honest I almost feel uncomfortable lobbying, not used to that at all yet but the EU is very competitive I guess.I was thinking the same thing monique123, ,many of the email are "trainee"-specific so they might get annoyed by a bunch of overexcited pre-selected who write hundreds of mails to them

Congratulations for those in the blue book and I hope the ones who didn't make it don't give up and try again, or find another interesting traineeship for your future.
I am a current blue book trainee in the EC and have written here about the lobbying + interviews phase that usually follows it (and that sucessfully awarded me a traineeship):
http://www.atraineeinbrussels.com/search/label/Lobbying
I have written it beforehand and posted it here as well quite some time ago, as this was something you could/should have prepared during the (long) time of waiting for the pre-selection results.
Anyway, as the EC will be closed on Monday, you now have 3 days to prepare it carefully and to do it right.
I have more tips on how it is to be a trainee in Brussels in my website and you can follow it on FB:
https://www.facebook.com/ATraineeInBrussels
Any question you feel it is still unanswered (please read everything with attention, because I have seen many people here asking how to find the email addresses or who should they lobby to and that's all explained in my posts and in several previous topics of this forum), feel free to contact me at atraineeinbrussels@gmail.com
Best of luck to all of you!

Have you checked the spam folder? I think they have sent all the emails...but it's just my opinion! Maybe they'll send others on Tuesday...?

The Translation Traineeship has a totally different selection procedure. There is no preselection! I was selected and for that I received a phone call and an email saying that I was selected. I was also told that only after mid-June all the trainees would have been contacted. I assume that each language department does its own selection. Some are quicker than others! Don't lose hope!

I think around 2 500 are preselected. And last year 678 trainees were accepted in the end.
