Secretary position on DG TRADE D1 Trade and Development

I am looking for a secretary who is already working as an official in the EU, or has passed an AST entry exam and is looking for a job. The subject matter we deal with is highly interesting, the team is nice and the manager (=me) "acceptable". Joke apart, I am looking for an intelligent, hard working colleague who is fluent in English, to join two other assistants in our secretariat. If interested, pls contact me by email as soon as possible, and ideally before the 19th of December. Unfortunately we are not in a position to hire contract agents.
