Re: Coming back home during holidays
Probably the new restrictions are realated with COVID-19, since it can become a problem if a lockdown starts in the country you taveled to and now you can't return to japan.

Re: VinJ 20/21 applicants
Hey guys. Don´t worry about not having any interview. Not all companies do them. Last year, some of us had interviews and other, (like me), did not have any.

Re: VinJ 20/21 applicants
Many thanks Mario!!! It´s sad but most of former participant, (selected or rejected), just move away from the forumn. It´s sad but understatable since life changes and without a direct motivation it is normal to forget about this. I´m sure any help you may provide will be really helpful for any of t...

Can we already fill & submit the online form? Or should we wait?
If I dont remember it wrong you should wait until you have sent the documents, since you can´t change anything in the online form and the answer needs to match, (speaking from memory)

Re: VinJ 19/20 applicants
I have just received the definitive rejection email.
This is the end for me guys. This was the last year I could apply since I will finish my master studies this year. I wont do a PhD, but maybe, I will do another master studies< course in the future.
Mr Airdawg, I dont feel so good...

They never cover all positions. There is a budget limit. I´m also quite stressed, but I don´t think I will be lucky on Monday. Lets hope I´m wrong.
PD: I found in twitter another selected, (for application nº 11). He was notified Thursday, around 15:30.
