A curriculum vitae is not regarded as a supporting document attesting to professional experience, qualifications or knowledge of languages.
In compiling your application file, you may not refer to application forms or any other documents already uploaded in connection with a previous application.
3.3.2.
Supporting documents for the general criteria No document is required at this stage to prove that you: — are a national of a European Union Member State; — enjoy full rights as a citizen; — have fulfilled any obligations imposed on you by the laws on military service; — have the appropriate character references as to your suitability to perform the duties concerned; — have the knowledge of languages specified in your application form, except in the specific cases expressly provided for in the notice.
You must tick the box to declare on your honour that you meet the criteria and that the information supplied is true and complete.
You will be asked to provide these documents if you are recruited.
3.3.3.
Supporting documents for the specific criteria You must provide the selection board with all the information and documents it needs in order to verify the accuracy of the information given on the application form.
Diplomas and/or cer tificates attesting to the successful completion of studies You must include in your online application copies, preferably in PDF format, of the secondary or higher-education diplomas or university diplomas or certificates attesting that you have completed studies of the level required by the notice.
It is your responsibility to provide legible documents.
The selection board will take account of the different education systems in the European Union Member States (Annex I and Annex II to this guide).
If you have a diploma from a non-EU country, it must be accompanied by a declaration of equivalence issued by a competent authority of a Member State of the European Union.
In the case of post-secondary diplomas, you must provide the most detailed possible information, particularly concerning the subjects studied and the length of time for which they were studied, so that the selection board can assess the relevance of the diplomas to the duties to be performed.
If you submit diplomas relating to technical or vocational training, further training or specialisation courses, you must state whether the course was full time or part time or consisted of evening classes, as well as the subjects studied and the official duration of the courses.
Please upload this information in one single document, preferably in PDF format.
Professional experience Professional experience will be taken into account only if it has been obtained more recently than the requisite diploma or qualification.
The supporting documents must prove the duration and level of the professional experience and the work performed must be described in as much detail as possible, so that the selection board can assess the relevance of your experience to the duties to be performed.
If you have more than one document relating to the same period of professional experience, you must upload them in one single document.
Documents no bigger than 5 MB can be uploaded to the Apply4EP platform.
All periods of professional experience cited must be substantiated by supporting documents, for example: — statements from former employers and your current employer certifying that you have the professional experience required for admission to the competition/selection procedure; — if, for reasons of confidentiality, you cannot attach such statements, you must attach, in their place, photocopies of your employment contract or a letter of recruitment and both your first and your most recent salary statement; — where the work has not been performed on behalf of an employer (as a self-employed person, member of the liberal professions, etc.), invoices detailing the services provided, or any other relevant official supporting document, will be accepted as evidence.
