Verbal, numerical, abstract: differences between AD5 EU law and AD5 Administrators?

Hi! 
I have a question concerning the computer based tests of the AD5 EU law exam. 
Will they use the same kind of questions for the verbal, numerical and abstract part, as for the AD5 Administrators exam?

I am asking this in order to find out whether I should buy the special EU law package (pre-selection) provided by EU training?
I already bought the package for AD5 Administrators..

Thank you! 

 

 

 

Supporting documents in EU Law Administrators - any risk of disqualification?

Hello, 

As you are probably aware, no one is required to indicate professional experience in their application for this AD profile.

Nevertheless, it seems to me as the approprate thing to do, given that if I pass successfully, people will wan to know more about me and will seek CV-type information.

I can suppy employment contracts, but I have no pay-slips or detailed description of my duties.

Moving into different roles / internal permeabiity

Hello,

I am wondering if you can say something to this question:  if I should be so lucky to be successful in the secretaries' competition and receive an assignement, is it still possible to also apply to other competitions, like for the administrators, once they are published?  How about CAST assignments in different roles?  How is the general permeability of the internal job search once one is inside?  

Thank you!

Hello,

I am still not clear and hope you can help:  does EVERYONE, who applies for the competitions get invited to go through the testing, or is there a pre-selection even there already?

Thanks!

Reasoning part

Dear EPSO,

If I have recently taken a Secretary CAST exam, are the reasoning parts not relevant for the AST/SC Exam taking place this fall? I mean, could I just take the Accuracy and the Organising & Prioritising part ?

AD International Cooperation Competition

Dear all,

does anyone have any experiences with requests for review regarding eligibility reviews?

I would have enough points for the CBT score to move on to the next round but got eliminated at the eligibility stage, for not having enough work experience. I disagree with this assessment and sent a complaint and am ready to take this further. do any of you know how long this review takes? does anyone have any contacts regarding lawyers who may help with this?

thanks!

Chris

What happens if you get to reserve list?

Hi. Can anytone tell me what happens if you get to the reserve list? How important is your background when you get to that point? For example, if I have a bachelors in Communications, would I get hired for a job in that field, or not necesarrily? Would it be positive to have a masters degree in EU law/policies, etc? I hope someone can shed some light on this. Thank you in advance.
