• Make sure the updated curriculum vitae includes your email address, telephone number and photograph.
• Public employees should request authorisation from their original administration before submitting the file.
• Prepare for the general test on social and economic topics, and for the specialty test on contentious affairs, administrative law and private law.
• Bear in mind that a mark of 5 out of 20 or less in the specialty test is eliminatory, and that an average of 10 out of 20 in the written test is required to reach the oral interview.
