Helga Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Hello. I am trying to apply to SHAPE Internship for 2017. I can not find where I can post my application and upload CV on the SHAPE website. Please anybody can help me to locate the button as the application will be closed in February.

It was very pleasant surprise. So I encourage people who are still waiting for "shortlisted"..there is a hope after all :-)) And I would like to ask anybody who had an interview before. It is suppose to be about the motivation and previous experience, but is there something more I should focus on? I would greatly appreciate any advice on it :-) I think interviews differ depending on the person you are talking with and the division you are shortlisted for, also the tasks that will be assigned to you. They will most likely ask to tell about yourself, your previous experiences and motivation to do the internship. Nothing difficult..
Blabla93 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Hey guys, I have a quick question about the "priority reserve list". My application was shortlisted in June and in Sept I was on the "reserve list" and in October I got an email saying: "Congratulations! Good news! It is with great pleasure that we would like to inform you that you have been included in the "priority reserve list" for an internship...... Candidates on the "priority reserve list" will be offered a placement if the need arises based on the business requirements". They sent me a conditional letter by mail with the internship programme booklet, and I sent them my security clearance form. When I emailed them asking what the conditions are when you've been put on the "priority reserve list" they just sent me a link to the internship timeline... Has anyone here experience with being on the "priority reserve list"? Do I get an internship after my security clearance is OK or does it mean that even if I get my security clearance it still depends on the department/division? Is anyone else here in the same boat as me?
KO1771 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Hey there, I recently received acceptance to the program for March 2017 and am wondering if anyone else on here has heard anything for those dates yet? Thanks!
B0unty Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Hey KO1771! you mean.. You already got accepted in the final selection? Congratulations!!! My status still says either shortlisted or application submitted. No movement so far.
MGAHopeful Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Which divisions did you guys apply to and which ones are you shortlisted for?
Jouissances Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Wow. Guys, congrats for being shortlisted/prioritized! I have applied to ESCD, absolute silence. And by that I mean, not even shortlisted. I guess the division is flooded. Or I am just being ignored. Meh.

Yep, the same! in the item 'HISTORY OF COMMUNICATIONS' the system says 'APPLICATION RECEIVED' but in 'APPLICATIONS MADE' says 'APPLICATION SUBMITTED'. On the timeline is being said that further informations will be given at least september, but today i ve called the stage bureau in Bruxelles and they said me that if we still have not received information then we did not pass the candidacy. However always on the timeline the staff is clear, in fact it says that all candidates (those who have or not passed i think) will be contacted! too it s so awkward!
Jouissances Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Oh, that actually makes sense. In fact, it seems that the decision has been made long time ago, but the office does not really bother to inform the rejected. Guys, let's move on with our lives. See ya on the shortlisted of 2018!

Pm00 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Hi! I received a email like two months ago (June I guess) saying that my application had progressed and I had to check my status (one of my applications changed from submitted to shortlisted). After more than one month without news I sent an email to the Internship Office and the answer was quite confusing. Asking about next steps or interviews they told me interviews might take place latest end of July, but I wasn't contacted so I sent them another email asking for the selection process and they just told me my status would be updated latest beginning September. Still no news.

Still no news. I am in the very same situation. Sounds like.. if we weren't contacted for interviews, we are not considered for the selection process at this stage. Or are people also selected withouth interviews? Edited August 23, 2016 by B0unty

I am not sure, they just told me they were working on the selection and the hiring managers were really busy. I felt a bit disappointed after not being contacted for the interview, but to be honest, I have no idea how this procedure works, maybe there are some people who go through an interview while others are selected directly. I have tried to find an explanation, but I have only found this forum. (I was shortlisted for the Strategy Directorate) Edited August 23, 2016 by Pm00

Maybe every division has its own procedures. Which mail adress did you write to? :-)

Here is the email: internships@hq.nato.int They were quite fast answering my doubts (although they didn't confirm anything). The final selection is not on the HR hands but a decision of the hiring managers (who, I think, are the managers of each division).
B0unty Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Whatever "by october" means..still waiting for a final result
Dolo Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Hey guys! I've done my internship at NATO! Was a really challenging experience, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot! Of course, experience depends highly on division you will be working in. There were some people who were very happy and others didn't like it at all, some even terminated their internship before it finished. A lot of people get temporary contracts afterwards which lets them gain a little bit of more experience and is good for CV. Referring to conversations on this board and for the future reference, the interview in the selection procedure happens not every time! Some managers call, some don't and select their interns only based on CV!
RLJ1874 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Has anybody applied for March/September 2018? If so, what's your background? First time applying?
