    Dear Nathalie,
    I have some technical issues related to the selection of temporary agents COM/TA/ESTAT/13. After opening the vacancy notice, I cannot find any valid link to the application form. After clicking on the indicated link to apply, I am lead to the EPSO’s website, logged into my EPSO account, but I cannot find any application form related to this specific competition. I already contacted EUROSTAT, but they told me I should write to you. Could you please send me the correct link of the application form as soon as possible?
    Many thanks and best regards,
    Janka

    Dear Rosa,
    I have received the notice that I can book the tests for the re edition of the 2010 administrators competition this year.
    The test period is between 22 May and 18 June 2013.
    If I book today, can I choose a date at the end of the test period?

    Dear EPSO,

    I am a Croatian citizen. My country will be a member of the EU from the 1 July on. Taking that into account, I would appreciate very much if you would consider letting me take part in the competition EPSO/AD/250/13 or EPSO/AD/251/13? At the time the exams will be taken place, my county will be a full member.

    Would you kindly consider letting me participate?

      I thought it would be the message to book the CBT test, but when I have checked it I didn’t have any new messages. Could it be a mistake? Or it’s possible the message got lost?

    Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

    I am a Belgian citizen and would like to make a short inquiry about the upcoming corrigendum to the 2010 Administrator’s AD5 competition.

    If I understood correctly, my old 2010 application will become valid again and I will be assigned a new candidate’s number. Does this also mean that I will be unable to change my first and second language?

    The reason why I ask is that I entered English as a first language and French as a second language in 2010. As a consequence, my CBT tests were administered in French. However, I have been raised in Dutch, French and English (with Dutch and French as two official Belgian languages). In case the possibility arises, I would enter Dutch as a first language and English as a second language since I used manuals in English to prepare for this year’s test.

    If this is impossible, I would of course take the test in French again but I wanted to verify by this channel.

    Thank you for your time.

    1- I would like to know why there is the title Corrigendum under the AD cycle competition, in the indicative planning for 2013?
    Does this mean that the information is wrong and that it will be corrected?
    2- if I am interested in applying for External Relations, which competition does this fall under, is it public administration or there is a separate competition to join the “External Affairs”.

      The section ‘Corrigendum’ is referring to competitions EPSO/AD/177-178-179/10 only. A corrigendum to those Notices of competitions (already published in 2010) will be published in the coming weeks.
      You could apply in the field of ‘Public administration’ since the field of the diploma requested will not be specified.
      There could be a specific competition/selection published in the future for candidates in the field of External Relations.

      Dear candidate,
      All candidates are usually informed of their CBT results within 3 to 5 weeks after the end of the testing period, which will come to an end on 25/3/2012.
      Yes, there is a competition for Economists (AD9/AD12) foreseen to be published in April. Please see : http://jobs.eu-careers.eu/

    Hello,

    As this year there is no general AD exam, I am trying the AST3 exam. If I am selected for AST3, are there any possibilities to get an AD job by working as AST3 for a while? Or is there any internal AD selection procedure? Or shall I have to wait until an external AD selection procedure is open and resit the selection examination as anybody else?
    Thanks for your reply in advance

      Dear Hajni,
      If you are recruited as an Assistant after being successful in a competition for AST3, you cannot be recruited as an Administrator. There is a possibility for some Assistants to become Administrators (by certification). As an Assistant you are also allowed to take part in external competitions for Administrators.
      Kind regards,

    Dear EPSO,

    On the indicative list of planned competitions for specialists there is a mention that EPSO will recruit for a food safety specialist position. What will be the approximate requirements to apply for the position?

    All the best,

    Dear Epso,

    I have 3 questions:

    1. If both diplomas are good to the access of the competition, the working years during those periods can be considered and added up?

    2. “At least three years’ professional experience relevant to the duties concerned”. Are yaers considered solar or effective.

    3. paid internships are relevant to the duties concerned are usefull for the competition?

    Thanks a lot, best regards

      Dear Kris,
      If both diplomas are meeting the admission criterias in order to apply, I confirm that the professional experience is counted from the day that you have obtained the first diploma. Graduate programs (studies) may not be considered as work experience. Paids internships could be taken into consideration as work experience. Three years of professional experience = 36 months. This will be evaluated by the Selection Board.
      Please see also the Guide to open competition (page 5) : http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2012:270A:0001:0021:EN:PDF

    Hello Rosa and Nathalie
    those people that sat the AD5 concour in 2010 will be able to take the exam again in 2013. Which rules will apply then in terms of language regime for the verbal reasoning? and in terms of taking into account the SJT in the final score?The same as 2010?
    I think it is fundamental at this stage to clarify the two issues.
    Thank you,

    Dear,

    Why is there no general Administrator competition planned for 2013? Wasn`t this meant to be a yearly re-occurring event? Also, could you please let me know if there is one planned for 2014? If already known, when would this be including application timing (ie, approximate dates are perfectly fine)?

    Thanks and kind regards,
