Language 2 for CAST applications : is English a better choice?

Hello, Concerning the CAST recruitment process, has your application form more chances to be spotted by the recruitment team if it is written in English than in French or in German since it is certainly the biggest database of applicants? Therefore, it would be better to choose English as your language 2 (L2) since the application form has to be written in L2, wouldn’t it? Thanks for your insights!

Dear EU training,

inaccurate translation in verbal reasoning test

The text says: " [...] Tarile UE vor fi obligate sa furnizeze persoanei suspectate servicii complete de interpretare si traducere [...]". Therefore, the correct answer is "Fiecare dintre tarile UE va avea obligatia de a plati interpretariatul si traducerile efectuate in beneficiul suspectilor".  This is not case when the English version is presented in the solution: "[...] EU countries would be obliged to provide full interpretation and translation services [...]".

Hello

Does anybody know how long one has to wait to be contacted by the competent HR department if they are, indeed, interested in your profile? I mean, the deadline for application for a position I am interested in expired a week ago and I was wondering how long it takes them to decide to invite so and so for an interview...

Looking forward to your replies..

Verbal Romanian language

Dear Practice center,

Although in a comment for a previous topic I appreciated the improvement for the Romanian language verbal tests comparing with previous years, I open this topic to draw your attention to the fact that for the past several tests I reported on average 2-3 errors. 

I am still waiting for the answers, but I would like to recommend you work with Romanian native translators whom not only know how to translate, but they also know how to interpret a translation and adapt it accordingly.
