a lot of questions about eu staff are answered in the staff regulations , again page 9/14 for enough curious people.

Yes , this is a contract offer so what ? If you are not ready for this and risk a bit, well .. you should not apply maybe and look for a less "adventurous" job.... Regardless of the selection procedure, this won't be an "easy" job, be prepared to be on mission about 8 months a year Somewhere in Europe or further in hard conditions and in a very short delay (look what happen in Greece), with family away maybe in Warsaw where you will be barely 4 months a year including holidays.

I was used to this rythm in a former job and i had no kids. So believe me, 5 years contract will be more than enough for a lot of people.

I think this job is really for fully commited, flexible and yes, adventurous people in the current conditions offered.

I'm not. I'm very positive and I trust we are part of something great. I look forward to be of service! I really do.

Can someone provide more details on the sit ups? The fingers crossed at the back of your head makes this exercise quite a lot more difficult!.

Please, provide some feedback on the Physical Tests!

So, as for the 20 meters beep test, i would like an adice of you that already done the tests or done it elsewhere. Must i go under time line ( 8 secs ) al my reps? must i begin slower ( for example 7 secs a rep ) and go faster ( for example 6 or 5 secs a rep ) as the time passes? I do not understand the mentality of the test? I mean the target is to run few reps and faster or many more and even slower but always in time limits? And one more about the interiew. Is the level of speaking English, taken under consideration mostly? Is the level of professional experience? Or is it some kind of mix of these two? Thank you in advance, and good results to all that take part i wish. Forgive me also that i have not read yet all your details and help here, it is my fault but i will try to catch up
