Ridicilous number of applicants and only 80 get in to reserve list...

New application period 01/03/2024 - 09/04/2024 3935 To be honest this feels bit too much towards the number of open spots in reserve list 

I think EPSO and DG move should not accept so  wide range of different academic backgrounds. no sense that urban planners can be applicants 

This is just wide open for everyone from lawyers to architects to engineers to economics makes no sense.

Chance to get in looms in 1-2%....

If you compare it to Ad 7 competition it is second highest on that list. So therefore it's a high number?

I'm not arguing how many open spots your link has compared this ongoing competition. Both have slim chances so just leave the forum you won't make it mark my words

Don't be discouraged. The trolls here just want you to give up so they have a better chance. There are always people who will not pass the talent screener, will fail the MQC, will not be able to attent a part of the exams, have a bad day duting the interview (doesn't exist anymore) so the number shrinks.

 

To tell you honestly, "ne jebe lep, nego uporan". Unfortunately, google can't translate this, but it roughly translates to "It's not the handsome one who is successful, but the persistent one".

 

Take care and good luck!
