Useful instructions for your application - EPSO/AST-SC/03/15
Secretaries and clerks for administrative/ financial/ secretarial support roles
Should you encounter any problems when applying for this competition, please read the following instructions.
If you would like to check whether you have validated your application, please consult your EPSO account. The validation process was successful if the sentence "You validated your application" appears underneath your application number.
Could my professional experience possibly be taken into account in the context of the competition?
It is for the selection board to decide, within the framework set by the notice of competition, if professional activities carried out can be considered as the professional experience required (including any experience acquired during a traineeship, or other studies).
To come to this decision, the selection board interprets the concept of professional experience required only in the terms of the competition in question, as set out in the description of duties (see notice of competition) and not in terms of national legislation, as this would inevitably lead to differences in treatment between candidates of different nationalities.
Professional experience is relevant only if acquired after the diploma giving access to the competition was obtained.
Will my diploma be accepted?
It is for the selection board to decide, within the framework set by the notice of competition, if your diploma can be considered relevant.
We do not have a list of all possible diplomas and we cannot therefore give you advice on individual cases. We would however suggest you to carefully read the annex on the chosen field as it contains useful information on the accepted diploma.
Can I modify the content of my application once it has been validated?
You can no longer edit your application, as EPSO immediately processes data once it's validated.
I have some difficulties with filling in the application form.
Please check the online application manual. You will find there many tips to help you register your application.
Do I need to send you my diplomas and other documents relating to my professional experience?
You will be invited at a later stage via your EPSO account to submit your supporting documents.
