Brussels is opening the door to one of Europe’s most coveted careers. After a seven-year pause, the European Personnel Selection Office has relaunched the AD5 competition, the main entry route to becoming a permanent official at the European Commission.
The job offers starting salaries of up to €6,758 a month and long-term security, so between 50,000 and 60,000 are expected to apply. Fewer than 3% will make it. Applicants must pass tough online tests on reasoning, EU knowledge, digital skills, and policy writing.
