Development Agency Applications
Learn how to apply to major global agencies, such as the World Bank and European Union.
Below is a brief excerpt from this section:
Many intergovernmental organizations and other major development groups have specific protocols and CV formats to follow when applying for a position. These are articulated on each organization’s website.
European Union (EU)
Jobs in the EU range from finance to IT to public administration. The website of the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) provides not only an overview of the application process, but the following:
- career profiles of the types of positions available at the EU
- details on the selection procedure based on type of contract
- examples of competency tests administered by EPSO during the selection process
- a list of current vacancies and information on traineeships
You will need to create an account on the site to manage your application information. EPSO also recommends visiting specific agency sites for more information on vacancies. Each agency has its own recruitment process, and some, such as the European Commission, offer a Junior Professionals Program (JPP).
This is just a brief sample of the information in the GoinGlobal Spain Career Guide, which is carefully researched and regularly updated by local career experts.
