Dear Sir or Madame,
I would like to apply for the position of educational psychologist. I started to create my account on Your website, but I have some problem. I confirmed Your requirements regarding languages skills when creating my profile, but I’m not sure if I understood well the demandings. I’m Pole, it’s my mother tongue, but my English is only on a B1 level. I also know a little French and Russian, but it’s a really basic level.
Exept for that, I meet the requirement. Do I have any chance to apply for this position? If not – should I delete my account? Can I send You my CV to Your database anyway?
Thank You in advance.
Your Sinserelly

Hello,
I understand from the call for expressions of interest that candidates should speak English, French or German as a first and then one as a second language. In the actual cv screening it asks for French or Italian. Is this a must or would speaking English and German suffice?
Thanks
Mar 07, 2013 @ 11:12:59
Dear Monica,
No, language 1 (the main language) can be any of the EU official languages (see point IV.C. of the call).
For language 2, candidates must have a satisfactory knowledge either of English, French or German, and it must be different from language 1.
With kind regards,
Rosa

Bonjour,
j’ai vu que pour la candidature comme Psycho-pédagogue il faut avoir un an d’expérience professionnelle.
Je suis une Psychologue et Psychothérapeute et j’ai les diplômes aptes pour participer à la candidature. J’ai aussi expérience professionnelle comme Psychologue (mais avec la profession liberal) avec des enfants, parents et enseignants, environ depuis deux ans.
Je voudrais savoir si je peux participer à la sélection ou s’il faut avoir l’expérience professionnelle spécifique d’un an comme Psycho-pédagogue.
(je veux dire que en Italie Psychologue et Psycho-pédagogue peuvent faire parcours d’étude différente mais s’occuper de travaux semblables)
Merci
Mar 06, 2013 @ 16:10:01
Bonjour Francesca,
Les conditions spécifiques minimales prévoient un an d’expérience au moins en tant que psychopédagogue.
Cependant, il appartient au panel de sélection d’évaluer l’expérience professionnelle des candidats. Les critères appliqués pour l’examen des CV et la sélection sont repris au point VI. de l’appel.
Cordialement,
Rosa
