preselections...

Any news?

By now, you should have received a Reminder e-mail from the Traineeships Office Check your Inbox/Spam

What kind of reminder? Sorry but I didn't get any reminder

Dear candidate,

On behalf of the Traineeships Office Unit of the European Commission, I would like to inform you that the pre-selection phase of the session March 2014 is currently being conducted and it will soon be completed. Immediately after, the eligibility check of the applications pre-identified to be included in the Blue Book will start. If you have been pre-identified to be included in the Virtual Blue Book you will be requested on November the 18th to provide all supporting documents. These documents are:

Printed copy of the application form, dated and signed;
Copy of passport or identity card;
Copies of all university diplomas you have declared to hold in your application, together with the corresponding university transcripts or Europass Diploma Supplement ;

Proof of registration to ongoing studies, if applicable;

Official proof for each short-length study period and seminar, university exchange programme abroad, if applicable (i.e.: attendance certificates);

Proof of declared language/s knowledge, which could be presented in the form of language certificates or diplomas obtained in the referred language or official courses followed in that language/s;

Proof of all declared working experience.

Should you consider that your application is solid enough to be pre-selected for the Virtual Blue Book, I would strongly advise you to start preparing copies of the above mentioned documents, taking into account that you will only be given 7 working days to send them to us by registered mail: from November the 18th until November the 26th.

I wish you all good luck.

Kindest regards,

Oh yeah, thanks! But this is only for people who have applied to the European Commission, right?

This is not for cor applicants.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I did not notice the title of the topic  

I think I'm unlucky. .. :-(

@silvia_n did you get an answer from cor?

Hej, I got answer from COR today that I am preselected Good luck!

I am quite surprised but I got preselected for CoR. Terrified of this phone interview. Must start looking at the old forums here because I have no idea what to expect!

Congratulations @extralegem & @jamesob . If possible may I know your background?

Hi, I have't received anything so far. Congrats to those who have been preselected!

No news so far. As i understood from the previous email, only selected people will be contacted. In the email was indicated on 15th november.. so let's wait a little bit.

Somebody else has received the email from CoR?

I think we should stop hoping :'( good luck to those who have been preselected

Yes, i agree with you nothing for me too.. but anyway - don't worry..be happy  

i am in the reserve list.

I'm on the reserve list too... congrats for the pre-selected candidates!

Does anyone know how many trainees are accepted for each session? I can't find any statistics on the internet... Anyway congrats to those who have been pre-selected... I am also amongst those unlucky ppl who have been moved to the reserve list and we all know what that means... Anyway, it is not the end of the world, let's just stay positive We will shine anyway ;-)

But from EESC any news?

How can I check my status on the website?

Hey extralegem! I was preselected for COR as well, for the Translation Unit, I had a phone interview, I sent them my documents as they asking for but then nothing more...I sent an email as well asking for some news but no reply. Honestly, I am not waiting for anything anymore.I guess they already selected someone...

At least you had phone interview, I didn't have... But I am preselected for Political Group EA, maybe they have different procedure...

It's possible, extralegem...

It's there somebody else who got preselected for COR, Translation Unit?

What did they ask You about during the phone interview?

Mainly about my motivation:) It was a short interview, you don't have to worry to much about it...
