I want to work in administration

Verified 17 February 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

The administration offers a wide variety of jobs that can be accessed under the status of civil servant, by competition or without competition, or under the status of contract worker. To target the jobs corresponding to my professional choices, I learn about the different public services (state, territorial or hospital) and their professions. I also select the access method corresponding to my situation or my career development plans.

What are the different public services?

I'm looking into the different public service (State, territorial and hospital civil service) in particular to know the different public employers.

What are the jobs of the 3 public services?

To find out about the different jobs in the public sector, I consult the register of occupations in the three public services.

Who can work in the public service?

To be able to work in the administration, you have to fill out certain conditions (diploma, absence of conviction...).

FYI  

If I'm a foreigner, I can work in administration under certain conditions.

How to access it?

The majority of public service jobs are accessible through competition and are therefore exercised by officials.

However, it does exist other recruitment methods (non-competitive) to work as a contractual, or even as civil servant.

Please note

an administration can accommodate a student on an internship.

I inquire about the dates and conditions of registration in the competition to allow me to access the job I wish to perform.
