If i may ask,  which season did you apply for? autumn 2017or spring 2018 ?

[BurpSuite]

Hi guys I ve been following this forum since I applied to Nato internship and since you guys help me a lot to follow my application and status, I just wanted to inform you about my progress. I applied for Cyber Defence divison and got 3 shortlisted from the different departments of Nato on 21 june . One of my shortlisted was from Communication and Information system security Department and they called me for interview in last Friday.Interview was from the mobile phone and the call was from Belgium and it took around 10 mins and was about my previous experiences and motivation etc. and at the end  he did not tell about if I accepted or not to internship he just thanked me and then close the phone. I hope you guys will be shortlisted and Called too because even though I wont be accepted, having this kind of experience was wonderful and I hope you can have a chance to taste it too.

So these are the divisions that have already shortlisted their candidates (according to this forum):

• Arms control and co-ordination
• Cyber defense
• Communication and information

Has anyone been shortlisted for other divisions?

I think most divisions still have to shortlist the candidates. I was shortlisted June 21 for Arms control and co-ordination, but that's just one division!

I am interesting what is your background? I also in PASP but I guess within the sub domain it is suitable for certain majors.

bachelor degree in foreign languages and literature + master's degree in european and international studies + i wrote my thesis on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and the need for a nuclear ban (i don't know how much this weighed in the selection but yeah). I also did an internship at the Mission of my country to the UN in Geneva, in the disarmament office. so, as a natural consequence, my first sub-domain of choice was Arms control and disarmament

What's your background?

bachelor degree in Political science and just recently May 2017. I don't remember if you can choose your sub domain but I guess they figure it out based on resume and interest area. I wonder if they assign the sub domain to you or you choose which one is your prefer one.

You choose and rank your preferred sub-domains as you fill in the application.

hey guys, so i was checking my applications page (shocker) in the "Review communications" section and i noticed that except for the first two positions i applied for (IMS operations - "application received" and Arms control and co-ordination - "application updated"), the rest of them are empty? it looks like they haven't even received my application. can you check your application page and tell me if it's the same for you? thanks!

Same for me. Only under one division do I have 'application received'. All the other divisions say 'no communication'

I don't know about ESC, but I was wondering the same thing about PASP.

ESC is a sub-division of PASP, right?

[iapoissac]

Hello all. 
Just like most of you I also joined just for this discussion as it seems nowhere else is this internship discussed. 

I was shortlisted on 21st of June for 4 subdomains. My main domain is security, and I was shortlisted for ESC - WMDs, IMS Policy (2 different sections) and Security Intelligence branch. 

I see that in the previous years some people had to do an interview, but from what I could notice those were all positions in communications (or the alike). It seems that there is no way to find out if certain position has an interview as it hasn't been mentioned anywhere in the application. Either way, I haven't had one, yet uncertain if that should worry me or not. 

Best of luck for all!
