ZAMBOANGA CITY - The regional office of the Civil Service Commission (CSC)-9 is slated to conduct the Career Service for Foreign Service Officer (CSE-FSO) examination slated on Aug. 10, 2014
“The Civil Service Commission will administer the CSE-FSO in select testing centers across the country on Aug. 10,” CSC-9 Regional Director Macybel Alfaro-Sahi said in a press statement.
Director Sahi advised examination applicants to file or submit their applications in person at any Regional Consular Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) until June 13 or at the Philippine embassies or consulates and until June 20, 2014 at the DFA-Board of Foreign Service Examinations in Pasay City.
Sahi explained, the CSE-FSO is the first qualifying test of the five-part Foreign Service Officer Examination (FSOE) of the DFA. She said passing the said exam is a requisite to be able to proceed to the succeeding parts of the FSOE which include interview, written test, psychological test, and oral test.
CSE-FSO eligibility is comparable to Career Service Professional Eligibility and is appropriate to first level (clerical) and second level (technical) positions in government.
Conduct of said examination is in collaboration with DFA.
