II.   DUTIES

AD 5 is the starting grade for a career as administrator — linguistic or other — in the European institutions.

The principal role of linguistic administrators (translators) is to enable the institution or body for which they work to accomplish its mission by delivering high-quality translations within the deadlines set and by providing linguistic advice.

The duties of a linguistic administrator (translator) include translation from at least two foreign languages into their main language as well as revision of such translations and terminology research. The often complex subject areas covered are generally of a political, legal, economic/financial, scientific or technical nature, encompassing all the European Union's areas of activity. Performing these tasks requires the intensive use of specific IT and other office-technology tools.

This competition covers two grades and several options. You may apply for only one grade and only one option. You must make your choice when you apply online and you will not be able to change it after your online application form has been confirmed and validated.

| --- | --- |

—

but you do not meet the conditions for admission to grade AD 7 and while you do meet the conditions for admission to grade AD 5,

the selection board may, with your consent (2), reassign your application to grade AD 5.

Any reassignment will take place only after it has been established that you meet the conditions for admission based on the information given in your online application form. This process takes place before you are invited to take the preliminary interpreting test in the case of grade AD 5 or to attend the assessment centre in the case of grade AD 7.

Also, after the assessment centre session:

| — | if you have applied for grade AD 7, and |

the selection board, may with your consent (2), place your name on the reserve list for grade AD 5.

Such reassignment will be by order of merit. It will apply after it has been established that you meet the conditions for admission based on the supporting documents provided when you come to the assessment centre and before the reserve list is drawn up.

In any event, the number of successful candidates on the AD-5 list after reassignment shall not exceed one and a half times the number of successful candidates sought for grade AD 5.

This competition is intended for candidates who have a perfect command (3), both written and spoken, of the Croatian language (mother tongue or equivalent knowledge). If you do not have such a command, we would strongly advise that you do not apply.

II.   DUTIES

The main duty of a conference interpreter is to ensure that the discussions held at various meetings are correctly interpreted into an official language of the European Union. This can entail either simultaneous or consecutive interpreting. Interpreters will be expected to study both the subject matter of meetings and terminology lists in advance.

The job of interpreter calls for exceptional adaptability (frequent meetings and irregular hours) and the ability to grasp varied and often complex issues, to react swiftly to changing circumstances and to communicate effectively. You must be able to work frequently under pressure, both independently and as part of a team, and to adjust to a multicultural working environment. You will be expected to upgrade your professional skills — including technology — throughout your career. You may also be asked to expand your language combination to meet the needs of the service (4).

Interpreters may in addition be required to evaluate the work of auxiliary conference interpreters (ACI) and to carry out administrative duties associated with interpreting.

Working as a conference interpreter can involve frequent travel, except in the case of interpreters at the Court of Justice, who work primarily in Luxembourg.

For recruitment to the Court of Justice, an understanding of written French is required.

More information on the interpreting services can be found on the websites of the three institutions concerned:

http://europa.eu/interpretation/index_en.htm

IV.   ADMISSION TO THE COMPETITION AND SELECTION BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS

1.   Admission to the competition

Your responses to the questions concerning the general and specific conditions will be processed to determine whether you can be included in the list of candidates who fulfil all the conditions for admission to the competition. Initially, compliance will be checked on the basis of the information you provided in the online application form.

2.   Selection based on qualifications

Where the number of candidates admitted is equal to or higher than 15 times the number of successful candidates sought per channel for each competition, the selection board will carry out a selection based on qualifications with a view to identifying, among the candidates admitted, those with the profile (for instance, diplomas and professional experience) most relevant to the duties and the selection criteria set out in this notice of competition. This selection is carried out solely on the basis of the information you provided in the ‘Talent Screener’ tab and takes place in two stages:

| — | A first selection based on qualifications will be made solely on the basis of the responses ticked under the ‘Talent Screener’ tab of the online application form and the weighting assigned to each of the questions. The selection board will set the weighting (1 to 3) according to the importance attached to each criterion set out in point 4 below. The online applications of the candidates who obtain the highest number of points will then go through to a second selection stage. |

A first selection based on qualifications will be made solely on the basis of the responses ticked under the ‘Talent Screener’ tab of the online application form and the weighting assigned to each of the questions. The selection board will set the weighting (1 to 3) according to the importance attached to each criterion set out in point 4 below. The online applications of the candidates who obtain the highest number of points will then go through to a second selection stage.

| — | The number of files to be examined during the second stage will be approximately six times the number of candidates who will be invited to the assessment centre for each channel. The selection board will examine the candidates' responses and will award 0 to 4 points for each response; the points are then multiplied by the weighting for each question. |
| --- | --- |

—

The number of files to be examined during the second stage will be approximately six times the number of candidates who will be invited to the assessment centre for each channel. The selection board will examine the candidates' responses and will award 0 to 4 points for each response; the points are then multiplied by the weighting for each question.

The selection board will then draw up a list (2) of candidates in the order of the points awarded. The candidates who obtained the highest number of points (3) in the selection based on qualifications (a maximum of 15 times the number of successful candidates sought, for each channel, as indicated in this notice of competition) will be invited to take the preliminary tests. This number will be published on EPSO's website (www.eu-careers.info).

If the number of candidates admitted is less than 15 times the number of successful candidates sought, a selection based on qualifications will not be required and the selection board will invite all the candidates who satisfy the eligibility conditions to take the preliminary tests.

3.   Verification of information given by candidates

Following the tests held at the assessment centre, and in the light of the results, EPSO will verify the information given by candidates in their online application for compliance with the general conditions, while the selection board will do the same as regards the specific conditions and the criteria for selection based on qualifications (where applicable). In assessing qualifications, supporting documents will be taken into account only to confirm the information already given under the ‘Talent Screener’ tab. If verification shows that the information given is not borne out by the appropriate supporting documents, candidates will be disqualified.

Applications will be verified, in descending order of merit, for candidates with pass marks who obtained the best aggregate marks in the preliminary tests and the tests held at the assessment centre (see Sections V et VI). Verification will continue until the number of candidates who can be placed on the reserve list and who actually fulfil all the conditions for admission reaches the threshold. The files of candidates below this threshold will not be examined.
