Selection process and job bank

The selection system is an open competitive examination (concurso-oposición), with a maximum score of 100 points: the examination (oposición) accounts for 60 percent and the merit assessment (concurso) for the remaining 40 percent.

• Examination: a single mandatory and eliminatory exercise, consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, plus five reserve questions; each correct answer is worth 1.50 points and each error subtracts 0.50; a minimum of 30 points is required.

The call for applications comes in a context of difficulty in filling Secretariat positions in small municipalities, where the lack of nationally qualified personnel forces a reliance on interim staff. The job bank will allow the City Council of La Carlota to have accredited candidates available and guarantee the continuity of legal advice and municipal public faith, essential functions for the ordinary operation of the Corporation.
