I have passed the preselection of 'EPSO/AD/329/16 - Option 2 MALTESE-LANGUAGE TRANSLATORS (AD5)'. I would like to know how long does it usually take to be informed whether one can proceed to sit for the second phase. Thanks.

Lawyer Linguist 2016

Hi everyone, I want to prepare for the Spanish Lawyer Linguist competition opening up in December, although it may be a long shot, at least I'm going to try. I figure since it's a specialist competition fewer people apply. I have read that in previous candidatures all of the applicants who passed the tests were called to the Assessment Centre. Are there any Lawyer Linguists out there who might have some tips on what to expect from translations, or have some past papers, etc? Also, for the Translation competition, does anybody know which languages might be coming out next year?

English Language

Hallo, 

I wonder, once the GB is out of the EU, shall English continue to be official EU language? In particular, shall the selection proceeding be conducted in English or will we have to choose a different language? 

 

Thanks, 

Council of Europe

Does the Council of Europe use EPSO assessement too?

CAST -new application system?

Hi,

I'm wondering whether anyone's had any success with the new Onlne-CV system beng used for the latest CAST callls?

This appears to be very different from the EPSO system, asking for a lot more information from candidate. However the design of the website looks very rudimentary. My gut feeling is that it still work in progress and I'm unsure whether the CVs and application submitted through this method have started being used yet.

Have I missed any posts, threads or resources by EUTraining on this subject?

Thanks all,

Mark

Administrative Assistants (reserve list) - European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) - COLLECTIVE WRITTEN TESTS

Concerning the Vacancy Notice published by ESMA for the selection of Administrative Assistants in section B - Selection Criteria is written that as pre-screening phase candidates will be invited to collective written tests. Do you have any idea of what kind of tests are envisaged for the selection procedure? 

Thank you in advance for your precious support

EPSO Court concerning languages

The Court decided that the EPSO competitions should be available in all EU languages. But, EPSO, as all employers, has the right to test whether the candidates know a foreign language. This is exactly what EPSO is doing for instance during the Assessment Center: It is testing the competencies and at the same time whether the candidates have knowledge of one of the following foreign languages: English, French, or German. 

OLAF AD7 AD9

Hi, I have heard there are over 300 candidates for the AD7 and only over 100 for the AD9. When does EPSO expect to release the results? And, any guidance as to the necessary marks to progress to the next stage in both competitions? 

Many thanks,

Elisa
