Hello, I just saw this trail on OPCW written tests. I am taking one next week, I understand from the UN link (although OPCW is technically not part of UN) that these tests are partly about general comprehension, partly about substantive knowledge. On the latter, how deep would the tests actually go into matters of Chemical Weapons, CWC etc. and is there a practical way to prepare? Thx!

Hey good luck! Which position are you going for? I'm not working there any more but still in The Hague so if you end up in the Hudson's crowd I might see you one day! ;)

Hey Fuchs66, I am going for an IT position. Does the OPCW pay for housing for you? Do they provide visa for your family member that will permit them to work?

Is that a professional level position or general staff? What nationality are you? You and all your accompanying family members, if its a P level position, will receive a special ID card from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which as far as I know entitles your family members to work. Of course if they are EU nationals you dont need it. I'm not sure about the rules for General Staff though.

Oh and housing you pay for and find yourself although you may get a bit of assistance with rent but it's not that much. If you are being hired for a professional position there is a pretty good grant at the beginning to assist with settling in.

Make your interview memorable by arriving naked except for a gas mask and a light coating of Swarfega. You should also be answering questions while juggling WP grenades with a VX-filled grenade sticking out of your arse. If they look at you quizzically and ask whether we should push the button and enjoy the lovely fireworks, be sure to adopt an expression of manic glee while nodding furiously and saying 'Yes, yes, goody. goody.'

They'll remember you then.

Fuchs66, It's a P level position. I am from the Caribbean so it's a long journey to Europe :) I thought they would have assisted in helping to find housing. Btw, what is the Hudson's crowd?

OK no worries it makes a difference whether EU based or from outside regarding how much you will be relying on the MFA card. OK as I am EU based the MFA card was a non-issue for me and to be honest a bit of a waste of time, also as I'm not married the family members working issue was never a problem however I am reasonably sure that once Family MFA cards have been issued spouses (and kids over the legal age limits for work) can work within the Netherlands but check with HR and/or Protocol Branch when you get there. Hudson's is the local watering hole where all the cool Inspectors gather with their minions ;).
