Take our test and see if you’ve got what it takes to get a job in the institutions.
The EU’s elite recruitment competition opens Thursday for the first time in seven years. But would you pass it?
The assessment is meant to inject new blood into Brussels’ corridors of power, with successful applicants eligible for roles at grade “AD-5,” which come with a monthly pay packet of between €5,973 and €6,758, as well as the chance to progress through the bureaucracy and take up influential roles.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to take the exam. So take our version of the test and find out if you’d make the grade. Some are based on actual questions and some we’ve made up.
*Disclaimer 1. The actual tests contain verbal/numerical/abstract reasoning skills questions (can you solve problems using words/numbers/diagrams); and digital skills questions (do you know anything about tech). We’ve skipped these in favor of the third part, EU knowledge.
*Disclaimer 2. Passing this test does not mean you get an EU job (or a job at POLITICO).
