Why EPSO asks for addresses of employers

Hello!

Does anyone know whether the EPSO Selection Board communicates with current employers to cross-reference if the application details are solid? On one hand I would understand a need for this, but on the other hand I 'm not sure if I want my current employer to know my intentions for the future...

 

Thanks in advance and besto of luck to everyone!

Step advancement for ADs

Greetings!

I 've read in a webcast that it takes 6 years to be promoted from AD5 to AD7. In the Staff Regulations, though, it's written that we need two years for a step advancement (Ar. 44). This is a lot, considering that we would need 10 years to change grade. Could someone please enlighten me what' going on with promotions?

Internal competition written tests

Hello,

I took the exam on EU institutions and policies. Do you know when the results will be out? 

Is there something in preparation from EU Training for the second exam of this internal competition (written tests)?

Many thanks

EPSO accountability for delays

I am thoroughly fed up with the delayed competition status and wonder if Epso is going to be held accountable for this. The COVID-19 situation cannot be used anymore as an explanation for the currrent delays- some competitions are still ongoing since 2019! this is highly frustrating. how can a public body get away with this????

Can you apply for multiple permanent positions at once?

Hi, EPSO just published multiple permanent IT positions under different stream like:

Administrators - ICT security AD8

Administrators - IT and data governance, programme/portfolio and project management, project management office (PMO), business and enterprise architecture AD7

Administrators - ICT infrastructures, cloud, networks and middleware AD7

Technically I satisfy all of them but can I apply for multiple at once or do I have to select one?

Tnx.

Situational and competency based interview

Good morning, I was wondering whether anyone know what is the difference in the format and content of the situational and the competency based interviews that are used to test the 8 general competences?

EPSO/AST-SC/10/20 - Secretaries

Dear all,

I am a bit confused with the notice of competition for the assessment center. As anyone here, can kindly let me know if the field-related interview in the field-related competencies corresponds to the general competency based interview (CBI) or is it the field-interview? thanks for you answer and all the best .

online assessment centre - taking notes on computer?

Dear all, is it possible during the online assessment centre tests to have/take computer notes? In my understanding, during GCBI it is not possible to have/take notes, but what about oral presentation and role plays? many thanks
