As for your application that hasn't been updated yet I guess they just haven''t processed them yet? 3 hours ago, gentvenus said: Nice. As a Non-EU resident, I am wondering if €1070/month is enough to sustain life in Brussels As a Belgian citizen I can confirm that 1070euros a month in Brussels in definitely doable if you live in a shared-flat and are not a big spender ?

Hattie38 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Hey! Have any of you heard anything yet? Currently, I have two that have been updated twice, two that have been updated once and one that hasn't been updated at all... I really want to understand what all the different updates mean Edited May 28, 2020 by Hattie38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't heard anything yet. But I'm also not sure what the updates mean or if it;s going to say on the portal that we were shortlisted like previous years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the updates mean anything, the first one is normally following the "pre-scanning" and the second one probably indicates that your application was opened/read. If you are shortlisted it will be indicated on your page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenkova Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megynkelly Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 One of my applications that hasn't been updated yet says "on hold" for job status. My other one that was updated says accepting job submissions. Wondering if anybody is experiencing the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process this year seems to be a bit different, where those that make it through the round of written applications are invited to a video interview through HireVue. I haven't heard back since then but I am guessing that the next round will be Skype interviews with an actual person (whereas the past years, it seems like people were invited to do Skype interviews right away without a step in between)...

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.

I did the interview yesterday and it was an interesting experience (the first time I had an interview through this platform). It was only 3 questions and I had 3 minutes to answer each question. A friend of mine also had a HireVue interview (different division) and got two minutes per question to answer two questions. I think I would have definitely preferred a Skype interview, I felt so awkward just talking to the camera... Did you do your Skype interview? How did it go?

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?
