Hi everyone!

Any news from the March 2018 session?
Following the last year's feedbacks, the preselected should be notified this week or the next one.
Personally, I got nothing yet...

Same here

Hey,

I am also anticipating the outcome of the pre-selection but nothing yet. Is this your first application?This is my first attempt and unfortunately, I realized that I should have read the posts in this forum BEFORE I applied for the traineeship. I feel I have a lot of weak points in my application.

Hi guys,
I am also waiting for an answer, that is why I wrote to the traineeship's office. Here is the answer:

Dear candidate,

We have started the selection procedure. If you are pre-selected you will be contacted by e-mail before the end of the year. Not selected candidates will receive a message by e-mail in January.


So if anyone receives an answer let us know

Hey all!

I am also waiting for an answer.

Which DG's are you aiming for?

Hi guys,

I've noticed that the pre-selection results were released on the second Monday of November past two years... so let's see whether they will keep similar pattern this year

Good luck to all of you!

I thought they released the pre-selection results on 7th of November last year, which is the first Monday of the month?

@jddcorte - You are right. I've misread the dates of last year conversations... Let's hope for a fast (and positive) response...

Hi everyone!

I am also waiting for some news, still nothing yet. This is my first attempt and my first choice is DG TAXUD, what about you?

Kristina M., my name is also Kristina, where are you from?

My first choice is the EEAS!

Where are you from @andreeamaria? And what's your background? Fingers crossed for our application, which unit within the EEAS attracts your interest?

Belgium! I have studied a Masters in Law, Masters in Management and currently undertaking a Masters in International Relations. I'd like to work in a unit that focuses on Latin America as I also speak Spanish.

Hey Kristina, nice to meet you. How do you like working at the State Administration, is it interesting? I am in Antwerp right now :-)!

Thanks for your compliment, my academic background just shows how indecisive I have been on a career though!

Well, don't worry, my Bachelor's degree is in Bulgarian Philology, so I am not very decisive either. What's your name?

Sunny, but cold! Bulgarian Philology, that is something I don't know anything about. My name is Jan! I wanted to send you a private message here to talk a bit further, but it doesn't seem possible on this forum?

There is a PM button below each post.

Hello, did you get any emails?

Nothing yet

Nothing here...

No, nothing

Nothing yet!

Do you think they have started sending emails to the preselected candidates, because in the topic for the last year's March traineeship period applicants say that they had their submission messages doubled, without any other notification, which probably means we are not preselected?
PS : Mine is also doubled, and I am inclined to think that we should have received those emails last week, if we were preselected,according to the last year's information.
(Also, some of the preselected ones from the last year, are saying that they had further notification to check their emails with the doubled submission message)

What do you mean by doubled? Well noone from us has been sent any emails, so no, don't think they have started sending
