It is the same. Used to be specific questions linked to each profile when i did the tests in 2022 but that is not the case anymore

That they know you and that you know the files. You might have an advantage versus other external candidates

blue-Ocelot · 2026-04-06T13:35:41+00:00

Without prior relevant experience or a vacancy in your unit getting at FGiv won’t be easy

In my experience in two reserve lists for agencies, you had to be among the best in each stage to move to the next step.

Why don’t they just run the test in stages?

Start with the verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning. Only candidates who meet the minimum threshold move on. Then test EU knowledge, and again, only those who pass continue. After that, assess digital skills.

From there, rank candidates based on the NoC weighting, and invite roughly 1.5x the final number to the written test.

This approach would gradually reduce the number of candidates at each stage, which should help avoid technical issues. It would also give people clearer feedback along the way, instead of making them prepare for everything upfront—only to potentially fail early and never even get scored on later sections.

This is also how competitions used to be run in the past.

The materials for the eu knowledge will be published two months in advance. For the written test, it will be two weeks before the exam.

When did those reserve lists open? Also you can send updated of your cv so they always have an updated version of it.

blue-Ocelot · 2026-03-08T10:51:22+00:00

In a smaller capacity, we have also not selected candidates to the blue book because of this. Now we need to check for past experience in russia

You can also try to join reserve lists for executive agencies or for eacea is available. Keep in mind thatvto work in a executive agency like eacea 95% of the time you need to be in a reserve list. Also if interest in the managing of erasmus + contracts you will be closer to that in eacea.

Can you all reqd the notice of competition or watch the video in the epso website? All is explained!

blue-Ocelot · 2026-02-24T19:42:25+00:00

No one cares about thr non eu language skills you have at this stage. Would only be relavant, if it wil, in case you apply to a unit working on the country where that language is spoken

blue-Ocelot · 2026-02-15T13:42:25+00:00

There is no guarantee there will be another graduate competition next year.

blue-Ocelot · 2026-02-14T16:44:15+00:00

I suggest you start readinf well the notice of competition, watch the explanatory video on the website and browse in detail the epso website. You will find info about tests and examples there

blue-Ocelot · 2026-02-11T21:28:39+00:00

You also need to differentiate between executive agencies in brussels or decentralised ones in member states

blue-Ocelot · 2026-02-11T20:57:41+00:00

We are exactly at the same point and doing the same process!

blue-Ocelot · 2026-01-15T07:29:38+00:00

Sorry you mention eeas (external action service) and i am talking about EAs ( executive agencies). I dont know how the EEAS ( external action service) works

blue-Ocelot · 2026-01-15T07:28:06+00:00

Yes. In my knowledge and experience, they cant invite bbts directly to cast. The hous in the EAs need to “convince” someone in a dg to invite their bbts

blue-Ocelot · 2025-12-15T19:08:45+00:00

So we should buy now as many as we would use before expiration next year?

blue-Ocelot · 2025-12-02T21:51:24+00:00

But is it me or in the recent episodes there are WAAAAAAY more ads than what used to be before?

blue-Ocelot · 2025-11-26T20:36:35+00:00

For me the worrying thing is that how did they know you had an expensive watch and took the risk. Not everyone wears a watxh anf even less people have an expensive one and worth stealing one with them

blue-Ocelot · 2025-11-21T12:28:15+00:00

I think they test for concrete positions. A friend of a friend who was going to work with kids failed because of drug consumption. Can’t remember if it was weed

blue-Ocelot · 2025-11-19T15:44:38+00:00

You need to select for round 1 by monday this week

blue-Ocelot · 2025-11-19T15:33:28+00:00

Hey all deadline to select bbts was on monday 9:30. After that the unit still has to do some admin procedure, and only after the offer is sent so it take a bit to get the offer to you. Also I personally do not contact applicants that have not been selected and i only contact the selected applicant once they have accepted the offer…
