Re: Frontex Border Guard
Thanks for the fast answers. Yes, i'm a little bit impatient, but Monday will be 6 working days since i had my English test, and till now, for others candidates, the answer was faster(3-4 days). Good luck for everyone!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
Congratulations to those who have passed the tests and the interviews ans thank you very much to share your experience! 👏👏👏
Good luck for those who will pass or those are waiting their results.🤞🤞🤞
And for those who have failed, like me, as said someone before in one very good message full of hope, we have a year to get prepared!💪💪💪
I just have one question about the interview, how many people do you have in front of you and who are they?

Beep test table.
For the 10x10 you are right about the 3s, but you have to do it so fast that it is complicated to count or manage your time, you have to give all you can and take care of the turn.
For the 20 m shuttle run you are also right, the problem is that you are not doing it launched, I mean that every 20 meters you have to make a turn, wait for the beep, gain speed again, and so on, you can't anticipate the next beep.
So the rythme is quiet different than a normal 1 km, it is harder.
The best way to manage it is by practising it, you ll find relevant beep test on you tube.
And another important thing is that the time that have to be done depends on your age.
Both running tests happen in an inside facility? Does it make sense to wear spiked shoes (sprint ) ? The floor is made out of rubber?
During the days you visited Poland for the physical tests and interview , did you have to do the medical tests as well ?
Thanks in advance !

Re: Frontex Border Guard
Tania, I don’t think anyone will write here who’s in the selection committee. It wouldn’t be ethical to disclose their identity.The number of persons yes, I think it could be shared...And even if you’re referring to general info, like if the members are from one division or another, I doubt that anyone who went through the interview would know to answer this...or that would share it...we can only make supposition. For example, if I were in charge of this, I would appoint for sure someone from the Operational Response Division, that could make some specialized questions according to the candidate’s profile. Maybe someone from HR, someone from Training Unit... I would also think of someone who can assess the organizational behavior...But as I’ve said, these are only suppositions. I’m still waiting for the result of the English test and most likely I will fail the physical test because of those push ups...
Good luck for your results and the physical tests, you never know, with some more days you can be ready 😉

Two questions for those who already completed their physical exams :
Both running test happen in an inside facility? Does it make sense to wear spiked shoes (sprint ) ? The floor is made out of rubber?

It's a normal indoor floor made for no-spiked shoes!
No medical tests while in WAW. Just bring your basic certificate from your GP/Family doctor.

the physical tests.Try the time and do the reps.You will not get a second chance even if the day of the tests you have a muscle pain or anything else.
