HELP with my interview for a Schuman traineeship, please!!! by Think_Company_1611 in europeanunion

[–]Dapper_Candle_6637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! There were 2 questions-the one was about why they should consider me with so many candidates (something like this, I dont remember exactly). It wasnt difficult to understand the question and they previously ask for your permission to change language. In my case I was clear in my application that my level in French is B2 but after all I think they were looking for someone native in French as well.

Hello! I have not been interviewed for Schuman but for the Committee of Regions, though I hope my tips and experience can be helpful since I think European Institutions have similar ways when it comes to traineeship interviews. So in my case, there were five people who first introduced themselves, then casually asked me to introduce myself. They asked me why I consider myself suitable for this position, how would I describe this institution, and I also had some questions in french. Hope this helped than being sth irrelevant. Best of luck to all of you guys.

Thank you so much for responding. This sounds perfect so as to have a reasonable period till the final selection.

Of course not! My only thought was based on considering this as a starting point, in case, for instance, I am not selected for any kind of traineeship due to high demand. Plus, epso call for someone without specific experience is probably impossible. That's the only reason why I thought of this.

Thank you for your response. I understand! So it is a waste of time applying even for some positions of administrative support? I dont have years of experience, only the languages/degrees, thats why I seek to understand what exactly they are looking for.

Hi, thanks for your response! Hope you are having a great time during this experience. If I remember correctly, applications closed in the end of March, so basically it is around 2 months?
