Additional information

This book will help you to prepare the EPSO CAST Political affairs / EU policies tests of any function group to be selected as a contract agent by the EU Institutions. It includes a guide for the whole selection procedure, support to your self-motivation, tips to improve your application and being shortlisted, strategies to increase your score in the tests, advice for your interview, and the materials that you should study to pass the competency tests/interviews organised by the recruiting services. The content has been updated following the changes in CAST procedures in 2023.
All this from the personal and professional experience of a successful candidate in numerous tests designed by EPSO and other EU agencies (computer-based tests, intermediate tests, case studies, and assessment centre interviews), being an official at the public administration in Spain and having held several positions as a Head of Unit from 2009 to the present, mostly in the areas of human resources, finance, programme management, law enforcement, competition, ICT implementation and e-government, and general administration. He has also worked as a national expert at the European Commission, gaining additional experience on communication and political affairs at the EU level, provided training to civil servants, and coached many candidates for open competitions (reasoning tests, 'talent screener', practical exercises and interviews), helping them improve their abilities and competencies. =============Author's note: I would like to clarify to all my potential readers that the table of contents of my books is available for free in Amazon (just going to the eBook version and having a look at the first pages of the book). As you can check there, the contents include specific examples and the answers to frequently asked questions in this profile. All the books of our CAST series have been updated to add content on the Commission's 2019-2024 mandate, the MFF 2021-2027, and the new agencies and programmes for this period.
