'Any formatting will be removed' in AD 5 Translation competition

Hi, has anybody found out more about what EPSO means when they say in the video tutorials ''Any formatting will be removed from the scripts that EPSO will send for markers for evaluation'?

It´s clear to me that colours and underlining will be removed, but how about italics and bold? Do they count as formatting? Will they be removed as well in the texts markers receive?

I have used TestWE in the Lawyer Linguist competition and I remember very well being able to use the bold and italics buttons, and they never mentioned this formatting would disappear.

Experience without proof of document

Hi everyone,

I have a short piece of experience that I listed in my application, but that I am unable to prove as I had been a freelancer for a short period, the company I worked with got bankrupt and my old email address that I used during that time got deactivated by Yahoo (it was 12 years ago).

I sent them an email and they replied that as long as I add positions in the applications I should send documents for them, even if the description says it does not require experience...

Abstract reasoning difficulty for AD7

Hi, I have noticed an increase on the difficulty of the abstract reasoning exercises in EUtraining website for the AD7 Scientific research administrators compared to the previous years for other AD EPSO competitions (I have have done many many EPSO exams and training a lot on EU training). Is it reflecting a real update of the difficulty for this new competitions? or it is just eutraining increasing the difficulty?

thank you

Written test - EPSO/AD/413/24-9

Hello,  

I have a question about the written test. The competition notice states:

"Candidates will respond to the test assignment(s) based on documentation related to the area of research. The documentation will be available on the EPSO website ahead of the test date. Candidates will receive the same documentation during the test, along with the assignment(s) based on it."

However, I do not see any such documentation on the EPSO website.

Any help would be appreciated.

Scientific Admin Application

Hello,

I am trying to submit all the application-related documents, getting a feeling of the web 1.0 and first generation db. Is this a way to reduce the number of candidates :-D?

Anyway that's not my question. There's a section called Talent Screener with the following questions:

- Q 1a: Peer-reviewed publication 1

- Q 2a: Peer-reviewed publication 1

- Q 3a: Peer-reviewed publication 1

- Q 4a: Peer-reviewed publication 2

- Q 5a: Peer-reviewed publication 2

- Q 6a: Peer-reviewed publication 2

EPSO/AD/413/24 - Written exam

Good afternoon,

Regarding the call for scientific research administrators AD7, the Written test part of the exam:

  • Are there any examples or templates available to practice the answers?
  • Do you know the different types of texts and their structures that you may be asked to write?

Thank you in advance!

Timeline for Interview Invitations – Temporary Vacancy in EU/EC

I applied for a temporary AD5 vacancy that had a deadline of 21/01 and submitted my CV, motivation letter, and application form. I understand that they do not contact non-shortlisted candidates, but I was wondering how long it typically takes for hiring managers to send interview invitations to shortlisted applicants. Does it usually happen within 1-2 weeks, or does the process take longer?
