Hello,

Has anyone been successful in any of the EPSO competitions for translators?
I am on the EPSO AD220/11 reserve list and wondering what's next. I am still waiting for any information on my status on the list and don't know if I am supposed to contact recruitment departments of EU institutions myself or just wait to be 'flagged'.

I appreciate your help.

EPSO recruitment process Sep 4, 2012

Hi,
I'm on staff at the Parliament (interpreter not translator, but the principle is the same). If your language combination is needed you'll be contacted, but it can be a slow process. There is a colour-coded flagging system which I imagine you're aware of. It can be useful to contact the relevant department in the institution you're most interested in though, as they have to come together to negotiate who gets which laureate, and it helps them to have an idea of your preferences.

Your EPSO account should provide information as to your status on the list (flagged or not, etc.).
Hope that helps ▲ Collapse

thanks for the advice Sep 9, 2012

Thank you for your advice. I guess it makes most sense to contact an Institution with the quota on my list... I have already received the message with my status on the list. It turned out that I was apparently already flagged yellow by an Institution, then 'unflagged' again after 60 days. Is this a normal practice...?
