EPSO CAST Law: How to succeed in the selection procedure

This book will help you to prepare the EPSO CAST Law 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 test. All this from the personal and professional experience of a successful candidate in the EPSO CAST tests and the reasoning tests of the highly competitive EPSO Administrators (AD) cycle, 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, law enforcement, finance, programme management and general administration. He has also worked as a national expert at the European Commission, provided training to civil servants, coached many candidates for open competitions and several EPSO CAST profiles, and written books for this purpose. ======================= Author's note: I would like to clarify, regarding a comment of one of our readers on a possible mistake on page 54, that the first edition of this book was published before the reduction from 28 to 27 Member States, due to the Brexit; still, even in that edition, we strongly recommended visiting the websites provided to check potential changes for this reason. In any case, all the content of the book has been updated in the current version (mandate 2019-2024; MFF 2021-2027), as well as in the other books of our CAST collection.
