Luck = When preparation meets opportunity

So, you’ve made it to the reserve list? Well done! You’ve done so much work preparing for the various tests, but the challenges are not quite over. There are still some hurdles before you have that dream job at an EU institution, and it will be a good job that is worth all this effort. 

Your path to a successful EPSO application

My firsthand experience of preparing for and trying several times before passing the EPSO computer-based tests many (many, many) years ago, inspired me to help other candidates and led me to become a trainer and personal coach.

In today's competitive job market, snagging a job within the European Union is about more than just having the right qualifications and experience. We’ve put together an easy-to-follow guide that will make your EU job search less stressful and yield more positive results.

Work-life balance in EU jobs

As we embark on the new year of 2024, it's a fitting moment for EU job candidates, particularly those involved in EPSO competitions, to engage in thoughtful self-reflection.

I'm excited to share a fantastic resource with you – a complimentary webinar focused on leveraging LinkedIn for personal branding and EU career development. This webinar is designed for EU communicators at all stages of their careers, offering valuable insights into making the most of LinkedIn for building a personal brand, and ultimately, making you recruitable in the EU institutions.

This is the first feature in our new series where your EU Training coaches put together a list of tips about various topics, anything from EPSO prep tips and EPSO test methodology to fine-tuning your CV. They will share the best advice they give their own coaching clients to help you excel in your EU career endeavors.
