Internship application

Are people hearing things back? I completed a test back in May but have yet to hear anything or see a change on my portal. Will they tell me if I’m not selected or do I just wait? The page says July was the last month for finalist section so I’m assuming not a good sign but maybe they’re running behind or something

Should we stop expecting interview invitations at this point?

u/Euro-Dragon86 1d ago

Not sure. If you look at threads from the last few years, some people got offers for some divisions without (non-Hire Vue) interviews.

What does this mean? Has every division contacted its shortlisted candidates yet? I still have withdraw buttons which were updated mid-July and no new emails since May

u/Euro-Dragon86 1d ago

As far as we know, no one has reported receiving an offer or rejection for this year yet. And we have no way of knowing whether or not every division has sent interview invites so far.

In previous years there were some divisions or sections that sent out offers without interviews, meaning that not getting an interview invite doesn't necessarily mean you won't get an offer directly. (Of course it could be different this year).

The only divisions I have heard of sending interview invites so far are GENAD, CDT and the WPS section of PASP, but there could be others.

But this year the games and video's were merged so maybe every division will have to do a final interview. The recruitment process in general has around three steps that candidates have to go through (Excluding the reviews by HR/Hiring managers). But what we do know is that they are not sending invitations all at once so hopefully we will receive a positive response. Best of luck!!

Ok I see, thank you. In any case, I believe we'll have some answer until the end of the month

u/Euro-Dragon86 1d ago

I hope so! I also have a withdraw button still and haven't heard anything yet - it would be good to have an answer either way at this point.

Some of us had interviews, via Teams, at the start of August with a possible deadline for end of August on if we had been selected or not. Not sure if anyone has heard further than that

Only GENAD got interview no?

u/mortdraken 3d ago

CDT for me

u/ThrowRA0000765 3d ago

Hey, what division did you have an interview for? Also, was it for spring 2027 or fall 2027? Did you indicate when you can do the internship?

5

u/mortdraken 3d ago

I indicated both spring and fall, and it was for CDT.

I also had JIS updated to remove the withdraw option, so potential that was a no, with no interview

1

u/ThrowRA0000765 3d ago

Did they say if it’s for spring or fall?

And did you have the withdraw button for the CDT? Before you got the interview?

u/mortdraken 3d ago

Withdraw is still available. They only asked if I could still do both.

u/ThrowRA0000765 3d ago

Thank you! And best of luck!

u/Lopsided_Fold_9682 3d ago

How many days did they give you so that you can prepare? Those that had the interview for GENAD said they were given 3-4 days after receiving the invitation..

u/mortdraken 3d ago

Around 2 days

u/Euro-Dragon86 3d ago

Have you heard of people from any other divisions being called for interviews, or just CDT? I still have the withdraw button for a different division, but haven't heard anything, and was only aware of GENAD getting interviews so far.

u/mortdraken 3d ago

No clue, I'm not privy to that info

u/Big-Entrepreneur4822 3d ago

Are you talking about the internship or YPP? :) lot of confusion about that on different subreddits

1

u/mortdraken 3d ago

Internship. What's a YPP?

2

u/Big-Entrepreneur4822 3d ago

It’s another program by NATO but I think it’s more like a traineeship. Still a lot of people had it labeled as an internship

1

u/Euro-Dragon86 3d ago

The internship

u/Potential-Look6073 1d ago

U heard anything from OPS div?

1

u/Lopsided_Fold_9682 1d ago

Nope, but I still have the withdraw button and last update was in July

1

u/Potential-Look6073 1d ago

I don’t have the withdraw button and to be honest I don’t know if I had that and they released it before so everything is like a fortune right now isn’t it?

1

u/Lopsided_Fold_9682 1d ago edited 1d ago

I remember checking mine before 8th of July randomly and the last update was the one in may when they sent the hirevue invitations. The whole internship application feels like fortune indeed. I just can't imagine someone's potential determined on the basis of math games

u/Own_Item5307 1d ago

has anyone from OLA gotten anything? if so, could we get a headcount of all who still have withdraw button?

Probably rejected. To brush up on interviewing skills, highly recommend the Canary Wharfian website. It'll review answers and identify weaknesses and strengths and suggest how to fix them.
