Dear EPSO/AD/391/21 - 1 candidates,

has anyone received feedback on the eligibility check?

is it confirmed they will possibly end this step in December?

I would also like to ask permission to access this competition related Facebook group: I requested to join many months ago, but no authorisation has been provided up to date. 

I have created a Facebook account for this purpose, but definetly I am not a Facebook user.. so you might not see activities on my account. Please refer to Linkedin profile for more details www.linkedin.com/in/gloria-zagaglioni-76598643.

Thanks! Gloria

Hi Gloria,

The technical support Facebook group is blocked, we are not able to accept member requests. Thi issue has been reported to Facebook, hope it'll be solved soon.

Hi David

many thanks for your reply. It's ok, I was afraid my "lack of activity" on Facebook  might have been a reason not to accept me in the group. Hope the problem will be solved soon.

In the meanwhile I suggest and invite  EPSO/AD/391/21 - 1 candidates to share experiences / news / thoughts in this forum 

this might help us all managing stress and uncertaintiy 

kindest regards

Gloria

Hi

thanks for sharing

I was wondering how they do the eligibility check if they will ask the supporting documents during the Talent Screen

Isn't it possible for them to ask for clarification during the eligibility check? or they just "cut" candidates in case something is unclear to them?

Maybe EU.Training staff has experience / knowledge in this respect to share?

thanks and have a nice day

Gloria

Hi everybody!

I was not eligible. I am a little bit surprised by the criteria of eligibility. It looks like they were very narrow on purpose so as to exclude all the people not working in DG REFORM lol. I am interested by your retex and maybe some advise of EU TRAINING?

Thanks.

Hi! 

I have been working in technical assistance (as public administration consultant / expert in my specific field - which is active labour measures / programme evaluator) under structural funds' management (ERDF and ESF) since 2005. With a single 3 years' exception (when I was contracted by a national research body), I have never worked as civil servant (although always FOR public administration) and never ever for EC services. Still, I was considered eligible. I think that the tasks assigned and the specific roles fulfilled were more relevant than the employer, at least surely in my case. Looking at the grid, it seems to me that the assessors have applied a very pragmatic approach in relation to the position / tasks (ex. purely academic experience was not considered relevant enough).

kindest regards, Gloria
