EU-career: 2010 Administrators (AD) competition re-OPENED

The AD competitions (for Administrators, these are Mid-Management positions) for careers in the European institutions have become rare opportunities in the last years (due to EU  budget and administration rationalisation), and in the best case there is only 1 "concours" organised each year.

 

In 2013, EPSO will not organize any new AD competitions!

 

However, some old AD competition are reopened: EPSO/AD/177/10, EPSO/AD/178/10 and EPSO/AD/179/10.

 

A corrigendum was published and new tests are being organised for those candidates who were excluded from the selection process in 2010 on the basis of their results in the admission tests, either because they did not reach the pass mark, or because they were not amongst the highest-scoring candidates who could be admitted to the selection based on qualifications phase

 

The person that triggered all these rehearsals is a candidate named Dimitrios Pachtitis that challenged EPSO responsibilities and initiated a legal battle. The General Court confirmed the Tribunal’s ruling, and EPSO re-affirmed its pledge to allow participants of the 2010 general AD5 level Administrator competitions to re-take their exams in 2013.

 

So he is the one to be congratulated (in case you ere positively impacted by this decision) or blamed (in all the other cases, as you will not have a chance for an AD competition this year).

 

In my case it's a bravo Dimi ;)

 

Note: Don't forget that you can prepare for these exams by practicing Abstract Reasoning and Situatiational Judgement tests on your iPhone or iPad.

EPSO reserve lists (AST, AD) extended

Most of the EPSO (EU Careers) reserve lists were extended beyond 2013,  however there were some lists that were terminated. Hopefully you are not on these ;)

Go and check if your lists are still valid: for Administrators or for Assistants. 

Good luck!

cu EPSO la tribunal

ultima stire despre care vorbeste toata lumea: un candidat pe nume Pachtitis ce a participat la o competitie EPSO acum 4 ani, a dat EPSO in judecata (Civil Service Tribunal) pe motiv ca EPSO nu are competenta de a elimina candidatii pe baza testelor de preselectie ci doar Selection Board-ul (sincer nu stiu cine face parte din acest board)...nevermind.

In orice caz, domnul Pachtitis a gasit aceasta chichita intr-o anexa a regulamentului de selectie, si a castigat!!!

EPSO se pregateste acum de apel dar daca va pierde, este obligat sa organizeze pentru toti candidatii care au picat testele de preselectie (doar pentru competitiile inca deschise) un alt test de preselectie in care sa fie implicat acest selection board.

foarte cool :) Detalii se gasesc direct pe site-ul EPSO.

Asa ca daca nu ati trecut de competitiile AD5 de acum cateva luni mai aveti o sansa daca EPSO pierde apelul ;)
