* Do not be discouraged if you don't succeed in a competition, as these processes are incredibly subjective. The way that has always worked for me is by entering competitions at the level I was trying to obtain (e.g., EC-04) to practice and get comfortable with the process. The posters often use the same merit criteria (i.e., job qualifications) and you will find you quickly get used to answering the same screening questions and can complete the process more quickly. Importantly, when you don't succeed it can be valuable to always thank the competition operators for the opportunity and ask for feedback about why, as it will help you figure out what adjustments to make in future applications.
* In terms of career planning, it can be helpful to look at job posters 1-2 levels ahead of where you are to identify what skills/competencies will be required to advance your career so that you can 'hack' your performance management agreement to by including them within your learning plan and/or work objectives.
* In terms of creating the social capital you need to make others want to advance your career, the three things that will open the most doors are: French language competency, success in job competitions and continuous learning in relevant competencies to the career path you want to pursue (e.g., writing & research skills for a policy analyst).
