Expatriation allowance: the regulations

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what are the rules of residence for getting the 16% expatriation allowance. I moved to Belgium last summer and hope to get an offer of employment in March. Am I still eligible for the allowance? As a CAST position assistant every euro counts...

Thank you!

I have passed the cast few months ago (March 2018) and so far I had only one interview, but I didn't take the job...I am not located in Brussels...Any advice is very much welcome! I read somewhere that you could help with reviewing the CV. Can you please provide more information.

AD 7 Customs and Taxation

Hi there! happy New Year!

I have passed the eligibility for the AD7 Customs competition and I'm waiting for the Talent Screener screening.

I'm trying to guess the timetable of the exams at the Assessment Center after the Talen Screener.

On the EPSO website, it indicates that the Case Study might take place in April 2019.

So my question is, does the CBT for AD7 specialists take place before the Case Study date or later?

Langea L1 & L2

Hi,

I have a doubt about which language choose as L1 and L2.

My mother tongue is Spanish. A friend, who is preparing for EPSO in an academy, told me it is possible to choose, for example English as L1 and Spanish as L2.

This way, the situational judgment and the assessment phase are made in Spanish.

Is this true? Can we do this?

Motivational Interview

Hello,

Can anyone give me some general insight into the motivational interview that is going to be held in the assessment centre for the graduate adiministrators competition?

It is a new thing and I can't find any information. I suppose it deals with the motivation to work for the EU, but I would appreaciate it if someone gave me some advice on how to approach this.

Thanks!

Freelance translator EU Justice Court

Hi,

I want to apply for the position as freelance translator at the EU Justice Court. Does anyone know how the selection process works? If there's any freelance translator reading I'd like some advice in terms of what they take into account to accept you. Basically, if anyone has some information regarding the position and recruiting process would be great help. Thanks a lot!

CAST COMMUNICATIONS - I passed the selection tests, what's next?

Hello!

EPSO contacted me via my EPSO account to inform I passed the selection tests (reasoning + competency tests) for the CAST and that I will be contacted for an interview.

Since I received this notification already 2 weeks ago, and that there are no information about the timeline for the recruitment test (interview) I was wondering if anyone here could share his/her experience or relevant information.

When could I expect to be contacted for the interview? Is it a matter of weeks, months, year or could I be not called at all?

Thank you! 

EPSO CAST P FGIV HR and Administration

Hi, I will be sitting for the Cast P for FGIV (HR and Administration) today week. Could you give me an indication as to from where I need to obtain the right curriculum in order to be prepared for the competency exams ? As I have no idea and no amount of questions are enough for me to feel confident right now. 

Many thanks in advance.
