A public information seminar entitled “Career Opportunities for Lawyer-Linguists in the EU Institutions” is to be held on Wednesday 4 December 2013 in Dublin, Ireland.

You may have seen my recent post on the call for applications from lawyer-linguists to work in the EU institutions.

Earlier this month the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) announced an open competition to select candidates for recruitment as lawyer-linguists in the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, with a closing date of 10 December. 

This seminar will provide attendees with a first-hand insight into the work of a lawyer-linguist in the European Union Institutions and a detailed overview of the key stages of EPSO’s recruitment process.

Featuring presentations from Ms Ellen Robson, Head of Unit for Legislative Quality at the European Parliament with extensive experience as a lawyer-linguist, and Padraig Love, of the Public Appointments Service and formerly seconded to EPSO, the seminar will be invaluable for anyone considering applying for this competition or interested in pursuing a career in the EU institutions more generally.

Attendance is free of charge but participants are kindly requested to register in advance. For more information and to reserve a place, please contact the European Commission Representation in Ireland at comm-ie-reception(at)ec.europa.eu.
