This book will help you prepare a Field-Related Written Test (FRWT)
for competitions or selection procedures, especially those organised by
the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO), or a classic written
test in the field used by the EU institutions or agencies, to get a job
in any of them.
It contains a description about this type of
exercises; an analysis of the EPSO and other EU bodies’ field-related
written tests; our method to prepare this test and improve your writing
skills; our study in detail of a case closely based on an actual EPSO
test, including the solutions to the assignment and giving additional
tips to build your own responses; and finally our conclusions and
recommendations for your training. We have added a second exercise to
facilitate your practices with this method.
All this from the
personal and professional experience of a successful candidate in
numerous tests designed by EPSO and other EU agencies (reasoning tests,
case studies, written tests and assessment centre interviews), being an
official at the public administration in Spain, having held several
positions as Head of Unit for 15 years, mostly in the areas of
enterprise and industry, competition, finance, human resources,
programme management, law enforcement and general administration, and
finally achieving the highest rank in the national administration for an
official as Deputy Director-General.
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 EPSO
competitions (numerical, verbal and abstract reasoning, practical
exercises and interviews), helping them improve their abilities and
competencies.
