EP traineeship October 2018

My preferred domains are London and Marseille, and preferences were Translation / Communication / Interpretation & Conferences.

Hey

has anyone received an offer from the DG for Communication yet?

I am asking because that's the one that called me in June.

Good luck to everyone!

Also:
Has anyone gotten a mail stating explicitly that they were placed on the reserve list?

Based on the last intake I believe that they do not make the distinction between non-reserve and reserve list anymore in the emails and merely whoever was shortlisted has got to wait and will never know whether they were first choice or not...

Hi everyone,
as of today I am literally PANIKING. So I got the shortlisted email the 13 of July and sent all docs immediately. A friend of mine sent the documents 2/3 days before the due date but got the offer last week. I didn't receive anything yet... I don't know what to do, also because I was told I would get an offer be the end of July.

Don't panic! I think you are on the reserve list and selected candidates have up to 3 days to accept the proposal. If they don't, the next trainee is contacted. So image the n°1 sent the documents on the 23rd, he has 3 days to say no, then n°2.... And If you are n°3, it is soon your turn. As I understood from the previous topics, many candidates are contacted in the beginning of August!

Good luck!

Have many people still not heard back? Do you think those of us who have not yet heard back are on the reserve list?

Hey guys! I just received an offer yesterday, late afternoon. There's still a chance for all of you

Cheers! DG for Parliamentary Research - External Policies Unit. Good luck to you guys!

Hi, guys! Is anyone also a non EU national? I have some questions concerning Visa.

Anyone else still waiting for a response after sending in the documents?

Yeah I'm still waiting.

Same same...

I've just received an offer this morning so there's still a chance for everyone else, I think up until September 2018.

I am also still waiting, although I am not holding my breath as I reckon the main DGs for which I reckon I would have been selected already offered places to people as I have seen from this forum.. as they say "hope for the best but expect the worst"

Yay, congrats. Could you tell us which DG sent you the offer?

I am waiting as well. Actually, I am nervous because I cannot plan my autumn vacation and so on.

Hi guys, how is going?
I've been shortlisted like most of you. I'd received an e-mail on Friday, July 13th, then I sent off all documents on Wednesday, July 18th. My only concern is I haven't received a feedback that my e-mail has been read by the recipient. I double-cheked an e-mail adress, so everything should be fine. Seems like they haven't opened it up so far, which is not a good sign Still waiting! Fingers crossed for you guys!

I do not think they send any feedback! I've already got an answer, but I never received any notification to alert me that my email was read! Anyway, I know several people who got their answer this week, so I hope it will be the same for you!
Good luck !!

Thank you for keeping me up. Do you think that even if I am not selected they'll let me know? My situation is fairly tricky. I'll have been in USA by 10th of October in framework of "Work and Travel" exchange. I cannot plan anything because my future is pretty much obscure. It's about time to reschedule my flights etc. Hopefully, they'll get back to me soon with any feedback.

Guys, has anyone got an admission letter? I am a non EU national, need this document for Visa as soon as possible . I have written to “stages” and to my supervisor. But no response

Hello, did someone receive an e-mail this week? I'm still waiting for any feedback from them. I'm losing hope. Seems to be too late for getting an offer.

I am still waiting too...

I think we shouldn't expect anything this week, since most of them are on holiday!

I agree

You guys know how long they stay on the vacation?

No idea but it shouldn't be long!

Is it fair to assume at this point if we havent gotten a response by now, we didnt get a place on the programme? I got the shortlisted email back in July but still havent heard anything back. I know it says 15th of september for a response but it would appear a lot of people already have been chosen
