Your nextEUjob weekly newsletter

Since 2023, more than 1600 individuals receive this email every single Monday morning, so they don’t miss a closing vacancy. We published over 75 articles, so that every EU citizen has an equal chance when applying for an EU position. We have 8000 followers across our social media platforms, where we share all this know-how without any paywalls or paid content. We want the EU civil service to benefit from hiring the best talent among EU citizens. We hope our resources help you on your path towards YOUR next EU job.

This week’s spotlight

🏖️ If you join EU civil service, you can expect 24 working-days of paid annual leave per year (2 days per each month worked). The system is flexible: you may take your leave all at once or split it up, as long as one block is at least two weeks, and up to 12 unused days can be carried over to the next year if needed. If you leave the service without having used all your leave days, you will be compensated at a rate equal to one-thirtieth of your monthly salary per unused day. But the 24 days is far from the full list! Click to read the full article.

📖 The full library of articles we have published has really grown over the years and it can be difficult to locate exactly what you’re looking for. You can now ask nextEUjob’s AI assistant to help you find the answer based on our website’s content. 😉

A word from our team

EU officials right now are raising the alarm that the workload has become “extreme,” and many call for shorter working hours and safeguards to prevent burnout. There’s also growing pressure for more remote-working options and stronger protections for work–life balance within the system. For anyone considering a career in EU civil service, this is a sign that institutional working conditions are under review. 😲 

✍️ If there is a publicly documented issue you would like us to highlight to all our readers, we’d be grateful for your tip. Simply reply to this email. 💙 Merci!
