What does it really take to land a job at the European Commission? And why does it matter that the AD5 competition is opening again – for the first time in seven years? In this episode of zEvropy , we speak with Sandra Cavallo from EPSO (European Personnel Selection Office) about how the EU recruitment system works, what the AD5 entry-level administrator competition looks like, and how to prepare for it strategically. We unpack the selection stages, common misconceptions, and what candidates often underestimate.
