Many thanks in advance for your feedback.

Why is EPSO so slow?

Hello everyone,

This is probably on everyone's mind, but I think it is ridiculous that it takes so long for EPSO to arrange the selection procedures, Covid or not.

For example, the bulk of the EU Law AD tests finished in December, with another few tests in the first half of March. No news whatsoever yet.

The lawyer-linguists applications closed on 23 February and almost 2 months later we don't even have a date for the 1st phase of tests.

Does anyone know why all this is happening and if there will be any new developments in the near future?!

AD6 Computer based questions

Hi everyone,

I applied for Administrator AD6 position and the computer based questions will be placed upfront.

As I have already passed these tests about 5 months ago for other AD positions (verbal-numerical-abstract questions), do you know whether these results are being taken into account by EPSO for other positions? Or are they independent for each competition?

Thank you in advance.

Contract staff (CA) versus Temporary staff (AD)

Hi all,

Does anyone know the difference between Contract Agents (Function groups I-IV) and Temporary staff (AD5-AD16)?

I'm a bit confused because both of them are temporary and apparently similar in tasks. Do you also know if it's possible to easily switch from one category to the other one? Thanks
