then the "second chance" is given when the participant doesn't/can't accept the offer.

yep i think it's the standard answer for negative results..

Indeed, I received exactly the same one last year even though I only applied to one internship.


Stupid question ( :D ) about the negative answer:

What was the e-mail subject ? Last year for me it was "Vulcanus- COMPANY NAME , sorry negative result".
I am asking this because whenever I receive an e-mail on my mobile phone, I see only the beginning of the subject so last year it looked like "Vulcanus- COMPANY NAME " and I let you imagine how frustrating it was -_- .

eheh.. yes the subject was "Vulcanus- COMPANY NAME , sorry negative result". Well... if this is the standard form for negative answers it's better to drop down the hopes :D

or the company didn't find any of the "1st choice" applicants qualified enough for the placement.. that may have happened with 7.x as well, so those who applied for 7.2 and 7.6 (as an example) maybe weren't retained for 7.6 but their application will be sent again for 7.2 and maybe they'll be choosen..

btw there are too many maybes in that sentence to be realistic ^^

maybe 7.1 is still in, 'cause it was from a different department of the company, and we haven't seen any negative answers

Thanks, I think they're going to ask this kind of questions. Better be ready. I had the chance to do a simulation of an interview like this, but in French (I'm studying in Liège now) and with someone in front of me. I managed to do it, and quite easily. Hope everything will go smoothly!
Thanks again!
By the way, I just remembered there was a guy waiting for a phone interview after the golden week.

How did it go? Have you had your interview yet?

Hi! I had the interview just today, thanks! I spoke with the person in charge of my application on Skype and it was nice, even I found sometimes difficult to understand English spoke by Japanese people.
However, judging by the questions they asked, I already have an idea of my destiny. But I don't want to say anything before the centre send me an email!

Unofficial bad news for me as I was expecting judging from the lack of negative answers.

One guy candidating on the same internship as me had already received his answer by the end of April.


As the center seems to wait until the end of May to dispatch the negative answers -> no news probably means bad news.

how did you find out? you never know 100% since some placements take extra places etc. etc. but it's worth being realistic. i'm starting to come round to it now. hard to take in but it has to be done. all my friends say 'no news is good news'... well... not with vulcanus.

I sent an e-mail to the guy.

(I knew his name from an e-mail the center sent to the candidates for this placement, then google was my friend, just decided to ask him this evening)



I can now look for a real Job (In Japan maybe, I won't throw out this idea ^^ )

Too bad :(

I know that you also have applied before, I know how bad it feels being rejected time and time again...

I found a nice PhD position here at home, so maybe if I get it I will reapply again at some point and maybe I will go at some point anyway. Or I try to find a job at the place in Japan where I have already done some research work a few years ago...

But I still have a small thread of hope left, since I have not heard anything about someone getting any of the placements I applied for yet.

(Crossing fingers and jumping up and down... ;) )

Well, last year some folks received their positive answers past mid-May as well as there is a post stating what follows

I received a reply from Margherita today, and she writes that many companies simply have not submitted their decisions yet.


ergo seems like we can still have a little faith :)

Same here, just received an email from Ms Rosada. I'm out. Included in the email was the following sentence:

"Should we find an alternative for you, we will inform you before the end of this month"

Well, I know what's done is done, but think I'd better wait until the end of May, just in case...
Good luck to everyone else guys!

Hmm, I'm 3.1 and haven't got an email. I'll look on the bright side of this.
