I just got my rejection everyone, best of luck and congratulations to those who were successful.

I'm in the same boat, still no response. I am also a graduate student, 2.5 years of regional experience in areas of interest for NATO, almost two years of internship experience related to National Security which are relevant to NATO, and language skills of interest. However, for every person like me there's an overqualified applicant with two MAs and internships at the UN or the OSCE. Rejection in general without feedback sucks, but what could also explain the delay is COVID-19 and the cohort of interns due to September, @Fl0000. Supposedly, I heard from someone I know that the internships for Sept 2020 are in danger of being cancelled.

it's also been a month for me and I expected a rejection by now. @Fl0000 I think if you haven't received a rejection by now, you likely made it to the last stage of the process for those positions because according to the calendar outlook, shortlisting period already passed. If anyone's successful, please let us know or maybe we will just have to see in Sept.

Anyone heard back on final status?

Looks like you might have been right on the money, we'll likely know in August/Sept. Regardless, oh well, here's to the best for all applicants ?

I feel the same exact way, tbh my default is I wasn't selected so I'm not constantly checking my email. I also have other job interviews as well. I really hope they let us know asap, I've done three hour interviews only to be denied two months later despite telling them I had a competing offer. It was a terrible experience and very off-putting; not to mention very inconsiderate of the time the candidate put in to the application.

KH, this is an update just for you to compare a bit. I don't know how it went lol. It was quite short, likely about 15-18 minutes but I think this is due to the fact somehow there were connectivity issues so the interview started later plus they did not have any more questions for me. I was asked first pretty generic questions, they said they'd ask three questions and they ended up asking me like 5 lol. I'm extremely sure it all rose from the interview itself, but they were very specific in terms of NATO and its role in the world; sub-regions, etc, and also we switched into a foreign language that was not required but definitely necessary to my surprise. They said the internship office would be in contact with me. It was a panel-interview; no mercy.

I love how you describe it: "It was an interesting experience." I'm dying lol My Skype interview is early next week so I'll update when I get there. What did they ask? Were they generic questions?

June 3 I only applied to one though, I think everyone's just got their own different process.

Just to add, it seems like every division is running the show differently. I just got a Skype invitation rather than HireVue. But yikes, I've done writing assessments through HireVue, and interviews through both Hirevue and Skype just seems a bit evil to me. Let us know how it goes though, I'm super curious.

PASP (one of the sections I applied to within the division) for me. The application does not say shortlisted, it just says updated today.

Hi everyone, I received an interview request today; so some sections are short-listing. I only applied to one division though and it requires very specific skills.
