Written test for the Administrative Assistant position in ENISA

Dear all,

I have submitted my application for the Administrative Assistant position in ENISA. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to undergo a written test. Could you please inform me how this written test will be look like and if possible what those questions might be? Thank you.

General questions about working for the EU (proofreaders)

Hello all,

I am considering applying for EU jobs, but I am still gathering information and know very little about EPSO. Apologies if my questions sound ridiculous. In particular:

1) I thought that EU civil servants had to pass an exam about the history and functioning of the EU. However, I cannot find this mentioned on the EPSO website. Am I missing something, or has this test been removed?

2) I read that the EU recruits proofreaders. Are proofreaders only stationed in Brussels and Luxembourg, or also in other cities?

Thank you for your help,

Field-related test - EPSO /AST/147/19 Security assistants

Hello,

I cannot find any related information about this computer-based test. How it looks like? Wasn't it called situational judgment before? Moreover, is E-tray not followed throughout his competition process, as I haven't found it in the information?

Please advise if you have any related tests or information where this can be found.

Thanks,

 

Duration interview in the field

Hello everyone, 

Does anyone know how long does the interview in the field last?

I cannot find this information anywhere. I read that the questions would roughly be the same as the ones in the talent screener.

Thanks!

CAST vs. Temporary

Hello,

Can anyone, please, explain the difference between CAST jobs and Temporary ones? 

Under which circumstances should one apply for one or another? 

 

Best,

Cris

 

 

The long wait - linguist laureate

Hi all,

So, I've been on an AD reserve list for more than eight months now and so far things have been highly uneventful. I knew beforehand that being on a reserve list is no guarantee to land an actual job. I also knew that the wait might be long. Yet reading some of the comments on this forum I get the impression that most laureates have the opportunity to apply for positions on a relatively regular basis and are invited to interviews from time to time. Just wondering if that impression is correct?

Is CAST better than nothing?

Hi there,

So I've just got offered a CAST position - which at first sounds like a good thing... That is unless you're on an AST reserve list lik I am.

What happened was that following my interview they informed me that they chose someone else but that there is this other option called a contract agent.

I've read up on the details since (1-year period renewed no more than 6 times, lower payroll, internal competitions limited to SC positions etc.). I get that it's more convenient for the institutions.

Graduate Administrators Date testing period

Hi everyone,

Regarding Graduate Administrators, for computer tests there is a range of dates.

Can it be negative to test the last few days? Or is it indifferent?

Soy agente contractual del grupo II desde hace 14 años. Quisiera pasar un examen para obtener el grupo III. ¿Alguien puede decirme que paquetes de preguntas serían mas adecuados para mi en este página web?. A priori parece estar todo encaminado a funcionarios. Muchas gracias,
