Simon Kucher application issue

Hello, 

I was applying for Simon Kucher summer intern position in their Turkey office, however the application portal closed while I was applying (like 21 hours earlier than they implied). I sent the recruitment team an email about the situation. Is there anything else I can do to get my application recieved? Thank you!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about that!

I would wait for HR's response. I hope you grabbed a screen capture for evidence? When anything happens like this, make sure to get evidence...never hurts to visually show your defense.

If HR doesn't answer in a few day I'd give them a call.

Hey there,

If this was a mistake by HR they will fix it. If not, you still might have a chance. I'd have included my application documents in the email sent to HR to make sure they received it. You can still follow up on that.

Cheers,

Florian

Hello,

If it was a mistake made by the system, just wait for a reply from the HR staff. I'm sure that they will be happy to take your application, you wouldn't be the only one raising the problem.

Best,
Luca

Hello!

How unfortunate!

I would wait for now to see what they tell you, give them a week or so. 

Cheers,

Hi there, 

That's unfortunate. Fingers crossed it'll work out for you, I'm pretty sure the HRs will understand and do their best to help, just give them a week or so and follow up.

Cheers,
