Hello! 

I was wondering if anyone here has been selected for an interim position (6-12) at an EU body? I was curious to find out whether they decided to extend your contract after 6-12 months and also what type of checks have they done once you obtained the position (reference checks, academic checks etc)? I am a bit hesitant to ask my current employer for a reference and I would very much prefer to rech out to any of my past employers for a reference. Have you encountered this situation? 

Thank you!
