Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

I’ve just recieved my comfirmation e-mail! English test should be done in 72 hours after recieving a link.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

when you enter the app test you take a photo via webcam and afterwards you upload a photo of your ID. The program automatically recognize your name and after finishing registering the test starts.
the test has 5 phases for 50 minutes. I think it is important to manage well that time. Phases 4 and 5 were the hardest for me.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Good Morning,

Also received the same reply yesterday.

I have asked today Frontex if they have sent out all the emails to the shortlisted candidates. They have not answered me back.

I'm a bit disappointed 'cause I have over 17 years of Armed Forces and Police in my CV along with many other features that I'll spare the audience with.

Anyhow has anyone confirmed intell if they have sent out all the emails or they will continue throughout next days?

BTW: good luck to those who have made it to the next stage.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Yeah im a bit disappointed if that's just it, on a positive note there will be other recruitments in 2021 so let's just see what happens. I've 12 years military and police but they must want more experienced personel.

if there are no more sent tomorrow then il just accept thats the end of the emails being sent out.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Here is a theory. If they are staggering invites etc it could be the case that they might send a batch of them every Monday. So consider yourselves lucky if you haven't received one yet as you get more time down the road to prepare for the physical. Positive thinking!!!!!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Fully agree with you!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

I like your positive thinking buddy. Let's hope that's the case 😁

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Well, I'm not so sure. Most probably they have sent the emails to those who they think are more suitable. Not everyone will probably make the English test cut. So if they feel they haven't many candidates who made it through the 1st cut they will invite more people to take it.
So, 2 conclusions. One we are not in the 1st batch of more desirable candidates. Second, this is an ongoing dynamic procedure. Therefore the reason they don't update the status of the procedure to "shortlisted candidates all invited to the English Test" is because it is ongoing to see how much of them make it to the next stage.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

I like your positive thinking guys! Really hope that all of this is related to the quite complex selection procedure....

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Just out of curiosity do they tell you before you start the test what the pass mark is? Good luck from me as well with the rest of the process.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

hi and thank you for your wishes. I cant recall exactly, but to pass the test you have to score 65%

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

IONUT what position did you apply for?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

One question for those already invited.
I assume most of you have applied for more than one level as well. As you know the message doesn't state what level (basic, intermediate or advanced) you have been selected for.
Noticed my invitation has been send from an email address starting with the advanced level code - AD7.
Some of you applied for basic and intermediate.
I applied for intermed and advanced.
Q: Have you also received the message from an address corresponding to basic or intermediate FX code?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Hi, everyone !
I have a question for those of you who have already been invited for English test... Can you offer us information about the date when you have submitted the applications? In my opinion this could be also very important as I think that they are inviting us also depending on the age of the application (and not only).
Thanks and good luck !

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

I’ve submitted my application on 28th of october for AST4 (intermediate level) and recieved my confirmation e-mail this morning.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Thanks for reply ! I've submitted mine on 10th of December (for intermediate and advanced) and I haven't received an invitation email yet...

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Thanks Antongo.
Also received the mail this morning.
Your confirmation email was sent from an email address starting with AST4
I assume?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

They haven't finished yet as I understood.
You will receive it.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Thanks! I hope I will 😉

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

just a quick question. When you received an invitation email, was it addressed to „Dear Candidate” or „Dear ( your name)”. I assume if they address the email to your name that means they respond to everyone individually. It could be not just a case of sending a batch of emails. And it could make a sense. Sending individual emails to a few thousands canditates is really time consuming.

and another one :-)... how much time you got between completing the English test and travelling to Warsaw for the physical assessment??? If that’s a week that could be quite difficult to book a time off from work, get plane tickets and travel there

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Hey buddy,

It was dear candidate :)
i received the email on monday, and the physical is about to be scheduled for the second week of February. Time is pretty tight i might say!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Yep! The adress was ast4standingcorps.... and so on....

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

cheers my friend... I will stop being a detective now and just wait and see ;-) shame Frontex did not specify their recruitment process in more detail so could just sit back, chill out and wait for our turns ;-)

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

I've never wanted to do an English test so much in my life 😂😂

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

bro I know your pain ;-)

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Theo from Greece here. Have received the email by midday. I have applied for the intermediate and advanced levels

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Thanks a lot Antongo!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Hello TheoK. You also received the email from AD7 address I guess?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

No Stanx, it’s from AST4. I was probably selected for the intermediate level only, I suppose!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

This is another challenging situation... :-)
Since they do not mention the category in the email body I believe all details will be set based after the English test.
Anyways, I also tend to just take one step at a time.
Good luck with everything!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Good morning to everybody,
The waiting game it's starting again .......for those who are still hoping to receive an invitation email.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Hi guys. This thread has been a great idea. We can support each other. I think that it's a matter of time. The candidates that have submitted early have been invited. The rest will be invited later.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

hi Kon20
can you confirm that or it's a anticipation?
thanks

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

It's my guess. I know two invited guys that their application was submitted in October or first days of November. The fellow candidates that have been invited can confirm or not this scenario. When did you submit the application?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

i think you are right. I submitted my app, second or third day after the public announcement was made. And from what i understand, the others that received the invite all submitted early on. Does anyone knows someone who submitted early and got an invite?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Hy guys! Another not-"yet"-invited here.
Am i wrong or all of the invited ones applied either for the intermediate or the advanced posts?
Anyone with a basic application received an invitation?
I guess it would make sense to fill the most senior roles first, especially since a lot of people applied for more than one position.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

As far as I can see, only advanced and intermediate were contacted so far. I was expecting to continue with the emails, but no news for today...

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

thanks for your response.
I believe that you are right. I had submitted my application 2 day before the deadline and i have not received an email yet.
ok. i am waiting..!!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Submitted my application on the 7th of November. Received the letter and the link for the online Eng test yesterday. I'm also sure there will be more emails to be received.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
 

Didn't a guy on this forum apply for basic and got an email. I could be wrong
