Application procedure

This post might be published in parallel with a number of other senior official posts. In this case, candidates who wish to apply for more than one post must submit a separate application for each post.

Before submitting your application, you should carefully check whether you meet all the eligibility criteria, particularly concerning the types of diploma and professional experience required. If you want to apply, you must register via the Internet by going to the website:

https://ec.europa.eu/dgs/personnel_administration/seniormanagementvacancies/CV_Encadext/index.cfm

and following the instructions there concerning the various stages of the procedure.

It is your responsibility to complete your online registration in time (2). We strongly advise you not to wait until the last few days before applying, since heavy Internet traffic or a fault with your Internet connection could lead to the online registration being terminated before you complete it, thereby obliging you to repeat the whole process. Once the deadline for the submission of registrations has passed, you will not be able to do so. Late registrations via normal e-mail will not be accepted as a general rule.

On completion of your online registration, you will receive on screen a registration number that you must note — this will be your reference number in all matters concerning your application. When you receive this number, the registration process is finished — it is confirmation that we have registered the data you entered.

If you do not receive a number, your application has not been registered!

Please note that you must have an e-mail address. This will be used to identify your registration as well as to inform you about the outcome of the procedure. You will be required to inform the Commission about any change in your e-mail address.

You will be required to attach a CV in WORD or PDF format to your application and to enter, online, a letter of motivation (maximum 8 000 characters). Both the CV and letter must be written in English, French or German.

Please note that it is not possible to monitor the progress of your application online. You will be contacted directly by the recruiting DG regarding the status of your application.

If you have a disability that prevents you from registering online, you may submit your application (CV and letter of motivation) on paper by registered mail (3), postmarked no later than the closing date for registration. All subsequent communication between the Commission and you will be by post. In this case, you must enclose with your application a certificate attesting your disability, issued by a recognised body. You should also set out on a separate sheet of paper any special arrangements you think are needed to make it easier for you to take part in the selection.

Should you require more information and/or encounter technical problems, please send an e-mail to ADMIN-MANAGEMENT-ONLINE@ec.europa.eu

Closing date

The closing date for registration is 14 January 2010. Online registration will not be possible after 12.00 noon Brussels time.

---

(1)  In their CVs applicants should indicate at least for these 5 years during which high level management experience has been acquired: (1) title and role of management positions held, (2) numbers of staff overseen in these positions, (3) the size of budgets managed, and (4) numbers of hierarchical layers above and below and number of peers.

Application procedure

This post is being published in parallel with a number of other senior official posts. Candidates who wish to apply for more than one post must submit a separate application for each post.

Before submitting your application, you should carefully check whether you meet all the eligibility criteria, particularly concerning the types of diploma and professional experience required.

If you want to apply, you must register via the Internet by going to the website:

https://ec.europa.eu/dgs/personnel_administration/seniormanagementvacancies/CV_Encadext/index.cfm

and following the instructions there concerning the various stages of the procedure.

It is your responsibility to complete your online registration in time (2). We strongly advise you not to wait until the last few days before applying, since heavy Internet traffic or a fault with your Internet connection could lead to the online registration being terminated before you complete it, thereby obliging you to repeat the whole process. Once the deadline for the submission of registrations has passed, you will not be able to do so. Late registrations via normal e-mail will not be accepted as a general rule.

On completion of your online registration, you will receive on screen a registration number that you must note — this will be your reference number in all matters concerning your application. When you receive this number, the registration process is finished — it is confirmation that we have registered the data you entered.

If you do not receive a number, your application has not been registered!

Please note that you must have an e-mail address. This will be used to identify your registration as well as to inform you about the outcome of the procedure. You will be required to inform the Commission about any change in your e-mail address.

You will be required to attach a CV in WORD or PDF format to your application and to enter, online, a letter of motivation (maximum 8 000 characters). Both the CV and letter must be written in English, French or German.

Please note that it is not possible to monitor the progress of your application online. You will be contacted directly by the recruiting DG regarding the status of your application.

If you have a disability that prevents you from registering online, you may submit your application (CV and letter of motivation) on paper by registered mail (3), postmarked no later than the closing date for registration. All subsequent communication between the Commission and you will be by post. In this case, you must enclose with your application a certificate attesting your disability, issued by a recognised body. You should also set out on a separate sheet of paper any special arrangements you think are needed to make it easier for you to take part in the selection.

If you require more information and/or encounter technical problems, please send an e-mail to ADMIN-MANAGEMENT-ONLINE@ec.europa.eu

Closing date

The closing date for registration is 14 January 2010. Online registration will not be possible after 12.00 noon Brussels time.
