EPSO CAST Project / Programme Management

This book will help you prepare the EPSO CAST Project / Programme Management 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 tests/interviews organised by the recruiting services. The content has been updated following the changes in CAST procedures in 2023. All this from the personal and professional experience of a successful candidate in numerous tests designed by EPSO and other EU agencies (computer-based tests, intermediate tests, case studies, and assessment centre interviews), 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, finance, programme management, law enforcement, competition, ICT implementation and e-government, and general administration.

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 open competitions (reasoning tests, ‘talent screener’, practical exercises and interviews), helping them improve their abilities and competencies.

Author’s note: I would like to clarify to all my potential readers, after the review of one of our clients, that this book is structured as a clear summary, easy to read (by using font size 12 and spacing 1.5), about what to study for this selection process, including specific examples and the answers to frequently asked questions in this profile. Most of our readers passed their CAST tests in different profiles (HR, Project management, Finance, Law, Political affairs, Communication) just by reading my respective book in the field, so I think you will find it useful too.
