Problem applying for the Sony EGP

bestuser — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 20:29:13 GMT

I'm trying to apply for the Sony EGP, but the application link seems to be broken. When I click it, it leads me to a page that says "Sorry, there are no jobs available." Does anyone happen to know how I can access the application, or if there's a better place to ask? Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

I believe our EGP programs are running from September till June.

So that must be the reason why you can't submit your applications for the moment.

Kindest regards,

Nico

Emphasis is mine. I completely agree with you, but the Apply link is unfortunately broken.

It would appear so, I have searched around and cannot find any contact details for the Sony EGP team, perhaps if you send a Private Message to one of the Sony employees they will be to supply a contact email address or telephone number.

Hi all,

I was told there was some delay in the program start, a new date will be announced on the website soon.

Please bear with us while this gets sorted.

No need to further escalate or contact internally.

Kindest regards,

Hi,

Just checking if you have any updates on the issue. Going by the dates mentioned on the website there are just a little over 2 weeks left. Thanks in advance

Dear all,

I am a bit confused about the EGP deadlines. It specifies that all appplications should be submitted by January 15th but there is no link to sign up and complete the online section.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Cesare89 and welcome to the Community

I can see why you may be confused, the site says 2 different things on the same page about applications.

It does say:

but then on the same page it still says:

"To apply to the EGP, all candidates must register and submit their online application by 15th January 2014. Find out more about the selection process."

Its possible its just a website error........ but I agree it does need clearing up a little more.

Hopefully one of the 'magic beings' can help

Hi,

You can disregard the 15th deadline as the scheme is currently not open, and there is no way to enter.

New details on how and when you can apply will be announced on the page in January.

Hope this clears it up.

Thanks for clearing it up Drewde!

(Wondering if they could remove the 'how to apply' box from that page for now?)

Hi Anastasia1992 and welcome to the Community

Drewde said "New details on how and when you can apply will be announced on the page in January."

I think 'January' is all they know at the moment. Just keep an eye on the page for any changes.

Hi jumpsuit!

I'm just a bit anxious not to miss any important dates, I guess

Kind Regards,

No worries

I can understand - there certainly seems to be some interest.
