What to check before applying

  • Read the job description’s participation conditions and procedure. BOSA states that the types of tests and the competencies assessed are set in advance and described in the vacancy.
  • Prepare evidence of the diploma and experience requested. If your qualification was awarded abroad, check the notice’s equivalence instructions rather than assuming that a translated CV is enough.
  • Check the recruitment language and any separate language-certificate requirements. Regional, community and local employers may publish a different application route.
