Only one placement from 30-41 company has been filled. Damn sad
Unfortunately I applied for one of them
Sorry @hidesagred97, maybe there are other oppurtunities, like a normal internship or other type of works!
But yeah, it sucks not to be chosen

Last year my company didn't choose anybody for example, and a lot of position hasn't been cover (just 26 were covered). Let's see if we have some news on Monday :| Not even a person??

Re: VinJ 19/20 applicants
Congrats everybody!
Now starts the hard part for the rest of us waiting
My guess is that they send all emails regarding certain companies on same days, so as soon as I know that someone who applied for the same company as me get selected I surely start panicking XD

Re: VinJ 19/20 applicants
Maybe they could just notice people as soon as they get selected, not waiting till they have all the companies selections. But, if I remember correctly, when hidesagred97 asked Margherita she said that the matchmaking will finish on the 6th of April. So we have another week max of waiting :cry: :cry:

Do fellows who applied for company whose positions are from 30 to 41 (not saying the name, because, you know, privacy and confidential stuff) have some news? Do they call for interviews?
