NATO Internship

[narbit]

Congrats and good luck to everyone! For those shortlisted in Operations Division- may I ask what sub-divisions you were shortlisted for? Also, has anyone applying to PASP heard back yet? My friend applied to PASP.... I can imagine it being the most popular division

If I am right there is 120 spots available? The more popular the division the more time it takes to decide whether or not to shortlist them? I would assume you get shortlist early if you are going for internship in March? 

By the way, I think there are only 70 available yearly, not 70 per march/September cohort

I think so too. The booklet says "NATO HQ’s internship programme involves approximately 70 interns per year"...

If you got shortlisted for a position, they sent your application to the hiring officials after you've confirmed that you're still interested by pressing the 'confirm' button. The planning on their website indicates that we'll be notified via email about being selected or not in September/October 2017. Hope this helps!

I think so, I chose division security and the sub domains to choose from included ESC, PASP and NOS, I got shortlisted for Security Policy.

Hey guys, 

I got an email two days ago (June 21st) saying that my application had progressed, so I logged in and saw that I was shortlisted for one division. I think it's very likely that some divisions haven't shortlisted their candidates yet but do you guys know what happens if you are not shortlisted? Do you get a  "Not shortlisted" or something next to your application? 

Tbh I can't believe this is the only place on the internet where the NATO internship is discussed :/

I'm curious about the interview part too. I think it goes without saying, but it wasn't mentioned in the vacancy, which is weird

There is no interview. Just getting security clearance.

If you are shortlisted does that mean you are accepted into internship program?

Not yet. Shortlisted will lead to being either selected or not selected in September/October. That is the final decision (save from security clearance of course)

"There is no interview" my new favourite song

Actually, some divisions/positions DO ask for an interview process, just so you are all aware.

Where did you see that. There is 0 mention of it anywhere in the literature

[KCWS93]

I went through the process once before (Public Relations division) and had an interview. Someone else in this group (in the messages a couple of pages back) has told us they've had an interview as well.

How is the interview like? Did you have to bring anything like references, transcript.

It was a brief phone call, nothing to worry about - then again we talked more about the other options that I had available at that time at SHAPE as I had already accepted an internship there.

Not yet. It still early July so I think mid July is likely where we would get email or later in the month.

Nothing for me either. Still 'submitted'. It appears to me that many people recevied emails in June so I'm not quite sure if candidates are still being shortlisted or not (even though the application says July/August).
