Public sector company and private company

Working for the public Administration is possible if you have all information on how the selection process works. 

First of all, you need to know about the different stages of a public entrance examination:

1st - Public employment offer by entrance examination: announcement of vacancies available for the current year. 

2nd - General terms: General requirements applicable to any vacancy offered by the Administration publishing the vacancy.

3rd - Specific terms: Specific requirements applicable to a specific position, syllabus, exam, periods and similar.
 

Secondly, learn about the general requirements to be fulfilled by the candidates. 

Thirdly, obtain detailed information about the selection procedure (if it is a competition, public entrance examination, competition-public entrance examination / open or restricted).
 
Fourthly, pay attention to when the vacancies are published and to the registration period and, then, hand in the application form within the established period of time. 

Finally, prepare thoroughly the syllabus and the exams. You might find it helpful to go to a ¿public library¿ (free service), as they have the entire syllabus content available. If you prefer, you may also go to a private academy to learn the syllabus content, but this will imply an economic cost. 

In order to opt to a vacancy at the public Administration, you will first need to provide evidence of your Catalan language skills (by means of a certificate issued by the COFUC) or do a test prior to the beginning of the selection process.  

How can I obtain information on the vacancies available in the public sector?   

In the Official Gazettes (BOE Official Gazette of the Spanish State, BOIB Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands and DOUE Official Gazette of the European Union) and on the websites of public entities and bodies.

The SMO (Municipal Professional Guidance Services) offers an online service:

1st - Select Convocatòries (Public Employment Offer) and
2nd - Choose Modalitat i tipus: Oposicions (Form and type: Public entrance examinations)

and then click on Cercar (Search)
