Hi all just received this from DG JUST....nothing special but just though I'd let you all know:
'Dear Candidate,
Thank you e-mail(s) to the Home and/or Just services demonstrating your interest in our DGs. Our services have transmitted their selection to DG EAC, which will inform you on the results.
Yours sincerely,
SRD Home-Just – Team'

Nope I haven't received any phonecalls from the EC. I specified "legal" as my preference in the motivation part. I wonder whether any of you guys who did the same have had any interviews?

Maybe it's a good sign and they don't get in touch with their candidates at all. Londoner, where did you do your law degree? Because I actually did mine in London, at KCL

Hi!
Me too, I received this message both from HOME (last friday) and JUST (this morning)...
My area of preference is also Legal and I didn't received any call from EC, for interviews and stuff, even if I have lobbied.
I'm just here holding my nerves and waiting for 2nd June.
Good luck everyone

Ania, I was in UCL.
Although I also lobbied DG Just, I did not receive this reply from them (only from DG Home), would it be a bad sign?

I don't think it's a bad sign - I got my reply only today and I think they have quite a few mails to go through, so you may still get it.
Or maybe you didn't receive a reply because you're already booked by another unit so they wouldn't bother. See, all depends on your perspective

Thank you for interest expressed in joining our team. However, we have already made our decision for selecting trainees.
I think most units have pretty much selected their trainee by now, we can just hope for some late turn downs by fellow trainees
Thanks thomas04
I also received the same message seconds after I posted my question here.
Do you know anything from other units?
Hey!
Did all of you who lobbied these units receive this e-mail? I lobbied G1 and G2 and haven´t received nothing so far...
Hi MartaPL
I don't have any news from these units. Do you know anything about the EEAS units? I read you had an interview with one of them
Hey,
I didn´t have a real interview :/ They called me from Mexico and Central America division just to check if I speak Spanish and if I would be interested because they are preparing sth like a shortlist...but it was 2 weeks ago and they never called me back :/
This waiting makes me quite nervous...especially that I havent´t heard nothing back from DEVCO units :/

Hey thomas04,
I have a BA and MA in international relations (MA more specifically in international development cooperation). I did an internship in Spain in a local NGO and was working with Latin American and African immigrants there and now I´m finishing 1-year internship in a foundation in Colombia working in educational projects.
But I have never worked neither in Mexico nor in Central American countries...
Anyway they just called me to check my Spanish and it was a very short conversation in which i didn´t really say a lot...but the lady told me that good level of Spanish is really important for them. I guess they already found someone with fluent Spanish and background relevant to these countries.

Do not worry ! Maybe it's just an impression as we all are very nervous waiting for a call.
May I ask what unit it was?

@vomit75!
Thank you for your answer!!
---------------------------------------------------
As you may know from previous posts, this is the 3rd time I have been pre-selected so...
1st time: I did a really late lobby, I had a call but finally no selection for me!
2nd time: I lobbied really early, no calls and no selection for me!
so...
this time I have not lobbied...
I have been contacted from 2 units (one from DG connect and the other from DG research).
Both of them told me that there MAY BE a trainee position in their units and asked me about my availability, my profile and my interest in the Unit work!
I do like both of them and I am hoping in something good but they have highlighted they were not sure about having the position and did not mention anything about shortlisting etc. They only told me I will know from TO in middle of June!!
So really scared!!!
2nd of June seems so far!!!

@Angelapia
do you think the fact you haven't lobbied played in your favor this time? or would you say your profile has gotten more "interesting" since the last 2 times?
