We are happy to give you the latest addition to our library of free e-books; a 7-page-long collection of tips, tricks and experiences of candidates who attended Assessment Centres organised by EPSO. Within the booklet you will find first-hand accounts of Structured Interviews, Oral Presentations and Group Exercises. Four candidates will share their unique take on the Assessment Centre along with their top tips.

Last week we held a Live EPSO Questions & Answers Webcast, and we are happy to report that it was a great success! Many candidates joined in to ask about the EPSO exams and we were more than happy to answer. Time constraints made it impossible to answer every question, but here we make up for it! You can here all questions on EU careers, competitions, jobs, recruitment and exams in this latest Tips & tricks article. We've also embedded the full recording of the event for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy, share and tell your friends!

As many of you already know and as discussed in last month’s Tips & Tricks article, EPSO is completely revamping its selection procedures, starting from 2010. We have been getting a growing number of questions from the Online EU Tests community regarding our plans to offer Europe’s best services for your EPSO exam preparation needs. Good news: our team has been working hard for months to get ready for the new system: from early 2010, we will gradually introduce new services and packages to help you prepare for those “strange” new components of the EU career exams.
