FAQ ON THE RECRUITMENT PROJECT

1. What is the application deadline?
   The application deadline is always specified in our offer on the European Youth Portal. But the sooner you apply, the better. Don’t wait for the deadline. Once we find the right person for the hosting organization, we accept them and complete the recruitment process. We only have 6 vacancies.
2. My country is not listed in your offer and I cannot send my application. Can I apply anyway by sending a CV and application form via email?
   You can apply only if your country is listed in our offer. Applications received only by e-mail are not taken into account.
3. In the offer, there are very specific dates of arriving and departing. Can I join the project on other dates?
   You can join the project only on the dates described in the offer. Unfortunately, we cannot adjust the dates to your preferences. We are looking for people motivated to stay with us for the whole project (12 months).
4. I would like to join the project but I am a student and I have a few online classes a week. Can I apply for the project?
   During the project we expect the volunteers to be at work for 30-35 hours a week. Unfortunately, we cannot adjust your working schedule to your preference or availability and we cannot accept taking online classes during worktime. We are looking for people to whom the project is a priority and who will use this chance and take the most of it.
5. Do I need a Sending Organization to apply?
   You do not need a Sending Organization at the moment of application. If you are selected for the project, you can ask us for help with finding a sending organization for you, or you can choose the one you want to work with.
