10 tips to prepare for civil service examinations

The public employment offer approved this year by the Catalan Government and the Spanish Government exceeds 60,000 vacancies. We offer ten tips to prepare for a civil service examination with guarantees in case you are thinking of it.

Given the instability of the labour market, you may be thinking about preparing for a civil servant competitive examination. It is undoubtedly a good time to do so, given the large public employment offer announced by both the Catalan and the Spanish governments.

If you decide to take the plunge, the first thing you need to be clear about is which option best suits your interests, your profile and your skills. Also, be aware that you will need a certain spirit of sacrifice to put in the hours of study every day, you will have to be constant and never lose motivation.

Júlia Pérez, director of the Adams training academies in Catalonia, shares ten fundamental tips for preparing for civil service examinations with guaranteed success.

1. Keep the objective in mind. To stay motivated, you must never lose sight of the goal for which you are striving.
2. Time management. Be clear about how much time you have to study. The more hours a day you can dedicate, the better. But, in any case, it is necessary to make a realistic plan to see how many months it will take to prepare for the exams.
3. Studying the right way. We must bear in mind that studying does not mean spending hours in front of a book. It is essential to find ways to make the most of your time.
4. Enjoying the study. We must try to have fun while we study so that so many hours do not turn into hell.
5. Organisation. We must be very organised because we will spend many hours alone in front of books, notes and questionnaires.
6. Support. Furthermore, we need to feel that our environment, both family and friends, support and help us.
7. Train, train and train. This is a long-distance race, so it is a good idea to do a lot of exam practice.
8. Keep negative thoughts under control. We are bound to have them, so we must try to control them. In this sense, the first point helps a lot: having a clear objective and always keeping it in our mind.
9. Better in company. We must be in good company. That’s why it helps a lot to have teachers and other candidates help us not to feel so lonely.
10. Taking care of yourself. You have to take good care of yourself, both body and mind, and never stop believing that you can achieve your goal. In fact, many people achieve it every year, so why shouldn’t you be one of them?

Leaving money to a Christian for his own benefit was considered usury, so loans could only be made to enemies in times of war. Loans condemned bankers to hell because they involved a double sin: stealing money from your brother and stealing time to repay the loan. And time only belongs to God.

The interest that bankers charge on the money they lend is at the heart of the banking business and has always been controversial. Currently, it is because money is created from nothing using the loan as an asset, as we explained in the first chapter of the El Diner series. But centuries ago, the discussion was moral: the Church considered usury. The Old Testament, in Exodus, was clear when it said: “If you lend money to any poor person of my people who lives with you, do not treat him like a moneylender, nor pay him interest” (Exodus 22: 24). The essential idea was clear, it was not right to enrich oneself with the needs of others. This precept directly attacks, therefore, the waterline of the banking business.

Towards the 12th century, the banking business began to flourish, but the Church continued to condemn bankers to hell. In the opinion of the ecclesiastics of the time, usury was a double sin because you were usurping money from a Christian, but you were also stealing the time that he should invest to earn that money that he should return to you. And there was one of the big problems: time only belonged to God. Therefore, with the interest on the loans, the bankers were robbing an equal and God.

The Jewish opportunity

The Church, therefore, prohibited loans with interest between Christians. They could make enemies, with the idea of weakening them. Christians could not make loans to Jews either, because the Church considered them brothers. In this way, so to speak, the market of potential clients for Christian bankers was significantly reduced. And it was, precisely, the Jews who took advantage of that market niche. It was then that their fame as lenders skyrocketed, placing themselves at the centre of the financial business ever since. They had no such qualms: they lent money to anyone who asked for it, in exchange for interest. All of this ended up forcing the Church to rectify. And she did it in a very ingenious way: creating Purgatory.

Bankers’ Purgatory

It was evident that the Church had lost a business opportunity for Christianity. But the potential bankers had no desire to go to hell. At that time, loans were seen as a way to take advantage of the weak and not as a way to allow someone to pursue an idea. That is to say, evidently, the concept of productive loans or entrepreneurs did not exist. In any case, the Church rectified it by creating Purgatory. The bankers would no longer be condemned to eternal Hell, but to a place where they would be temporarily until they could purge their sins and enter Heaven. The measure was based on the Tractatus de Purgatorio Sancti Patricii by the Irish clergyman H. de Saltrey, which explained the journey of a knight to purge his sins.

This is how the Church sought to accommodate usury and loans within the Faith. The idea spread among the clergy during the 13th century: bankers could now save themselves, and the Church began to build a much closer relationship with the power of money.

Why is the dollar called a dollar? Where did the most used currency in the world come from? The history of United States currency has a direct connection with the Hispanic empire of the 16th century.

Charles V was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, king of the Catalan-Aragonese Crown (because he was the grandson of Ferdinand the Catholic) and king of the Indies, which had been discovered by Christopher Columbus. And in a corner of this vast empire was born the currency that would eventually evolve to become the American dollar. How did this happen?

In Bohemia, today’s Czech Republic, there were silver mines that began to be used to make coins. Because of the name of the area, those coins were called Joachimstaler but, little by little, the name was reduced to Taler. These Talers spread across the Atlantic and, based on trading with the Dutch and British, they began to be referred to as Daler. From there it went to Spanish Daaler and then to Spanish Dollar. It was only necessary for the United States to be established in 1789, which made the Dollar the country’s currency.

And the dollar sign? 

Well, everything indicates that it has to do with the symbology that appeared in the Hispanic Reales. There you could see the two columns of Hercules and the motto plus ultra, meaning that the Spanish had gone beyond the columns of Hercules. Because? Because in the past it was assumed that the columns of Hercules were on the cliffs of the Strait of Gibraltar, closing the access from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Therefore, to go beyond those columns was to go towards the unknown, which is why the Spanish motto represented the daring of having crossed the ocean to reach the Americas. The symbol of the dollar, therefore, would be the wrapped columns of Hercules.

To learn more about the history of the dollar, you can watch the following video by Arte TV.

According to UNHCR, 50% of refugee children are unable to attend primary school and 22% of young people are unable to attend secondary school. One of the most important rights of children, the right to education, is therefore violated. 11Onze Rolls Up its Sleeves collaborates with Better Shelter to build Shelter Schools for children in northern Syria affected by the earthquakes last February.

Syria has been in crisis for more than 12 years, with war and devastating earthquakes. As a result, some 7 million people are internally displaced. One of the most vulnerable groups is children who have lost not only their homes and families but also the chance to continue being children and to receive an education.

The role of education

A UNESCO report highlights the key role of education in creating a better future for everyone. Low levels of access to education and high levels of inequality in education increase the risk of violence and conflict. It is a fish that bites its own tail. Observed over 21 years, areas with very low rates of education were 50% more likely to experience conflict.

Which students are in classrooms

UNHCR estimates that, when there is a disaster, refugee pupils end up missing an average of three to four school years. And, of course, these are not normal classes. You can find children who have lost their families, who have suffered abuse, who have lost their homes and who may have disabilities.

Despite the difficulties, these classrooms can transform children. They can learn to read, write and do maths. If they do well, they will continue with specific subjects such as science, geography, and history. But they will also learn basic health care and hygiene. They will study human rights and how and from whom to get help. They are thus being prepared for a tough world that has already dealt them severe blows when they were very young.

But the role of teachers is not only to educate children, but to keep them in a safe space. This is also what the Shelter Schools that 11Onze Rolls Up its Sleeves promotes with Better Shelter are: places where nothing bad can happen to you.

What are the Better Shelter Schools like?

11Onze Rolls Up its Sleeves

From 11Onze we have decided to roll up our sleeves, and we want to build 50 Shelter Schools for the children of Northern Syria. This way we will be able to help 1,750 children. To make this possible, we need 100,000 euros that 11Onze Rolls Up its Sleeves, will send to Better Shelter to carry out the action on the ground. Can we count on you?

The World Gold Council produces a documentary in which the actor Idris Elba tours some key scenarios in the world of gold. South Africa, California, Ghana, Congo, London, Canada, and New Zealand are some settings for gold’s incredible journey across the planet and through history.

What role did Nelson Mandela have in the South African mining industry? How did gold contribute to ending apartheid? How many bars are held in the Bank of England and why? How long does it take for the elevator at the “La Ronde mine” in Canada to descend the more than 3 kilometres it must fall to the gold extraction galleries?

In this extraordinary documentary, Idris Elba (known for series such as The Wire or Luther) puts himself at the service of the World Gold Council to discover the history of gold and its relationship with humans. Multiple aspects are analysed: from the importance of gold for power to its use in beauty or current technology. Gold is omnipresent in the history of humanity, we attribute value to it and use it for a lot of things in our daily lives.

Gold: a journey can be viewed openly and with subtitles on the World Gold Council’s YouTube channel. We will find excellent photography and exciting moments such as when Elba, of Ghanaian origin, is received by the king of Ghana in the middle of a reception where gold is the absolute protagonist.

The importance of gold

The documentary also delves into the applications of gold in the progress of humanity. Gold nanoparticles are present in reagent tests to detect many diseases, including Covid. But they are also key to the circuits of all the technological devices we use, and will be essential for quantum computers. Gold has been, is and will be, therefore, an essential material for the industry.

But it also has collateral effects on the economic development of the population. Levi-Strauss owes his entire business to the California gold rush, which also caused the birth of San Francisco. And the same thing happened in Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa, created thanks to gold mining. Currently, in other areas of Africa, it is key to combat malaria and generating energy.

Gold: a journey is a very good way to open your eyes to the king metal. Having physical gold is not just a way to get rich or protect savings, as we do at Preciosos 11Onze. It is being part of a story that unites all of humanity throughout time, and this does not happen very often. Few things achieve such absolute consensus. There is no doubt about the value of gold. We are not only talking about the financial value, but also about the emotional, historical and industrial value of that metal that came from space to change life on Earth.

If you want to discover the best option to protect your savings, enter Preciosos 11Onze. We will help you buy at the best price the safe-haven asset par excellence: physical gold.

The pandemic has created new readers. Catalonia has stood out in Spain as the region where the increase has been most pronounced. Without going any further, during the confinement, 57% of book readers read at least once a week. Perhaps that is why booktubers, digital literary critics who are accumulating more and more followers, have emerged. At 11Onze we have compiled 14 profiles that are worth following.

The most successful Catalan booktubers have a niche of around 2,000 followers per profile. But we cannot forget those who have a more modest channel, such as Marta Cava, Els bookhunters, Traduint des de Calella, Lluctuber, Meyonbook, Laura Rubio and Llibres de Gont. All of them have become, in a short time, the great prescribers of the Catalan publishing world, which in recent years has been reactivated thanks to the opening of new bookshops and the birth of specialised publishers, especially in fantasy books, Catalan and foreign classics and essays. Below you will find some of the most popular profiles:

1. Recomanacions de Llibres, by Marta Botet. Marta Botet, daughter of the President of the Catalan Parliament, Laura Borràs, is almost as passionate about books as her mother. Around the world of books, she makes compilations and explains how the publishing industry works. She also reviews the classics of Catalan literature.
2. Bookdragon Di, a young fantasy. With more than 2,000 followers on its YouTube account, the channel reviews fantasy books and readings for young people. It features dozens of books, including classics of the genre, such as ‘Dune’, and by renowned authors such as Stephen King and Jo Nesbo.
3. La prestatgeria, the bookshop at home. Books and heartbreak, intersectionality and feminism, readings and music, the women of famous writers, high school readings that are worthwhile… Instead of reading books, Marta devours them, and she does so with passion, humour and a critical eye. 
4. La Mar de Llibres, sailing the literary ocean. When she entered her twenties, this other Marta decided to create her own channel, where she pours out all her reading obsessions. The world of books occupies her hours of videos: about translations, re-editions, books she has liked, books she has hated, reading lists to give as gifts… 
5. Paraula de Mixa, editorial enthusiasm. With very well edited videos, Paraula de Mixa not only reviews books, but has also set up a variety of activities on her channel about the publishing world: from interviews with authors, to reading clubs or workshops to become a booktuber.
6. Entrelletres, the commitment to Catalan readers. This young Andorran, Jan Arimany, is already known among booktubers for his publishing and his channel Trotalibros, where he reviews books in Spanish and accumulates a following of more than 25,000 followers. In the last couple of years, coinciding with the pandemic, he has also taken on the task of following books published in Catalan, and he talks about both classics and new releases.
7. Llig-me, going beyond the screen. Irene Rodrigo had a book programme on Valencian public television and its success has led her to open her own channel. Recently, she has set up a virtual reading club for the network of public libraries in Catalonia, but she also reviews classics and new books.

Cada vegada més persones viuen soles i renuncien a una parella. Moltes empreses han vist en aquest col·lectiu una oportunitat de negoci, amb tota mena de productes i serveis destinats a cobrir les necessitats dels ‘singles’.

Ser ‘single’ està de moda. Els solters cada vegada suposen un percentatge més elevat de la població. A Catalunya, una de cada tres persones majors de quinze anys ho és, amb un augment considerable en l’últim mig segle, segons dades d’Idescat. Per això no sorprèn que l’any 2019 s’arribés a crear l’Associació Catalana de Singles i Oci Familiar.

No es tracta d’una tendència local. En un terç de les llars de la Unió Europea viuen solters sense fills. De fet, el 50% de les llars de capitals europees com París, Berlín i Oslo ja estan ocupades per residents solters, segons Eurostat, que també assenyala que més de la meitat de les llars sueques són unipersonals. Als Estats Units, els individus sense parella entre 25 i 54 anys ja suposen el 38% de la població i en el 28% de les llars només viu una persona.

Tot i que en els últims anys s’ha popularitzat l’11 de novembre com el Dia del Solter per la influència xinesa, la tradició d’alguns països anglosaxons el situa en el 13 de febrer, com a contraposició a Sant Valentí. Es tracta d’un dia de reivindicació per als ‘singles’, un anglicisme que ha adoptat un significat que va més enllà de la solteria: es tracta de persones que viuen soles i no tenen parella, sigui com sigui el seu estat civil. El que abans es veia socialment com un fracàs avui s’associa al concepte de llibertat.

Una oportunitat de negoci

En un món consumista i oportunista, moltes empreses han vist en aquest col·lectiu una oportunitat de negoci, amb tota mena de productes i serveis destinats a ells. En l’actualitat podem trobar en el mercat un nombre creixent d’habitatges unipersonals, electrodomèstics de menor capacitat, envasos més petits i activitats i viatges concebuts per a ‘singles’.

Les empreses han situat als ‘singles’ al punt de mira no sols per tractar-se d’un col·lectiu creixent, sinó perquè la seva capacitat adquisitiva també és superior a la mitjana. De fet, aquesta bonança econòmica és gairebé una condició per a ser ‘single’, ja que la vida els resulta més cara. Per començar, el sistema tributari els penalitza respecte a les famílies. I si pensem en un dispendi tan important com l’habitatge, és clar que no tothom es pot permetre ser ‘single’. De fet, aquest grup tendeix a posseir menys habitatge en propietat i recorre més al lloguer que les parelles.

Respecte als seus hàbits de consum, els ‘singles’ solen comprar menys quantitat i amb més freqüència per evitar que els productes se’ls facin malbé, la qual cosa ha portat als fabricants a oferir envasos de menor grandària, fins i tot monodosi. L’objectiu és adaptar-se a les seves necessitats i treure profit de la seva major capacitat adquisitiva. A més, els estudis de consum indiquen que aquest col·lectiu va menys als hipermercats i recorre més als supermercats de barri i les botigues d’especialitzades.

Un filó per a la indústria de l’oci

El fet de no tenir càrregues familiars fa que els ‘singles’ puguin destinar a oci una major part del pressupost que altres col·lectius i permetre’s més “capricis”.

Per això en els últims anys han proliferat pàgines web que organitzen tota mena d’esdeveniments per a ‘singles’, com a Singles Barcelona o Friendsteam. Es tracta de clubs especialitzats en aquest segment de la població que ofereixen activitats per socialitzar, des de sopars o festes a excursions o viatges.

A vegades són els mateixos locals d’oci els que planifiquen esdeveniments dirigits a aquest col·lectiu. Fins i tot una cadena de gimnasos com el DIR ha vist l’oportunitat de negoci que suposen els solters i ofereix el servei DIR Singles & Friends, amb activitats socials i esportives per a que els seus membres es coneguin millor.

Un esment especial mereixen els creuers dedicats a les persones sense parella, que han tingut un creixement espectacular. Durant aquests viatges, els ‘singles’ poden aprofitar per conèixer a gent nova mentre naveguen pel Mediterrani, la mar Bàltica o els fiords noruecs. Els destins cada vegada són més variats.

Where does the tradition of celebrating Sant Esteve come from, and why is it such a deeply-rooted festival in Catalonia? Sílvia Garriga, 11Onze agent, explains the origins of this festivity, both in terms of holidays and gastronomy.

At Christmas, every sheep to its pen, and for Sant Esteve, every person to his house. This popular saying places the celebration of the festival of Sant Esteve immediately after the Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, which falls on 25 December. This is a unique tradition in the Catalan calendar that links us to our Carolingian past in the 8th and 9th centuries.

Unlike the rest of the Christian Iberian Peninsula, which was governed by the Goths and had the bishopric of Toledo as a reference point, during the 9th century, Catalonia was under the protection of the Carolingian empire, founded by Charlemagne, and depended on the bishopric of Narbonne.

As Sílvia Garriga explains, “The Carolingian family concept was very extensive, they understood the family as a clan, and this meant that, at Christmas and other important festivities, the whole family had to meet in the family of the original peasant”. In other words, whenever there was an important festivity, they had to go to the ancestral home, no matter how far away it was.

In the Middle Ages, journeys were usually long

Originally, the festivity of Sant Esteve was not exactly a festival, but a day when people did not work because it was used for travelling. The precariousness of logistics and means, characteristic of the Middle Ages, lengthened journeys and, therefore, the time people needed to return home.

“It often took a whole day to get home. And this tradition has survived to this day, although it has taken on a different meaning”, Garriga points out. This tradition is also rooted in other European countries that share a Carolingian past.

On the other hand, the tradition of stuffing the cannelloni in Sant Esteve with the leftover Christmas Day broth came to Barcelona from the Italian cooks of the Catalan bourgeoisie or other foreign cooks who worked in the city’s inns during the 9th century. But it seems likely that making use of leftover food from the previous day is an eminently Catalan custom.

Commitment to the language has to be spread through all possible channels. And YouTube is a good example of this. There are a lot of Catalan youtubers who talk about comedy, language, young people, philosophy, cinema, new technologies and economics. At 11Onze we have seven profiles that you need to know.

Precisely, one of the ways to combat disinformation is to follow trusted profiles on social networks. More than 80 verification organisations have denounced this week that YouTube allows the uncontrolled dissemination of fake news and conspiracy theories and that the channel is a great disseminator of toxic content. We can assure you that the ones below are the opposite.

1. Pol Gise, comedy in Catalan. Pol Gise has more than 26,000 followers on his YouTube channel in Catalan, where he posts comedy videos, where he reinterprets classic Catalan tales, where he has been publishing a series about Rafel and Jaume and where he still has time to break some taboos about language, culture and young people. We spoke to Pol Gise in 11Onze just a few months ago because of a thread of tweets that went viral, in which he claimed to be able to make a living as a youtuber in Catalan as well as he does in Spanish.
2. Miss Tagless, building Gen Z. If you want to follow the misadventures of a Gen Z girl, you’ll like Miss Tagles. She relays her adventures in video games, destigmatises mental health disorders, talks about precariousness and youth, reviews her travels and sometimes even dares to make recipes. You’ll be entertained for a long time on this channel!
3. Filosofia d’estar per casa, a bubble of thought. This group from Filosofia d’Estar per Casa explains the political theories of Machiavelli or Hannah Arendt, and also reviews the authors of cyberfeminism such as Judit Butler, as well as confronting philosophers such as Vattimo and Ronti. If you want to learn philosophy and have a good time, you’ll love this channel! And if you have a child who doesn’t know how to study the Greek classics, the videos they have posted can be a good pedagogical resource.
4. Albert Lloreta, a window to the metaverse. Journalist Albert Lloreta is an expert on new technologies and how they are being affected by capitalist politics. In his channel he talks about the blogs where the extreme right and the negationists are spreading, censorship on the internet, hate speech on social networks… He never runs out of topics.
5. La filòloga de guàrdia, to spread the Catalan language. If you have linguistic doubts, if you have ever disliked the Catalan translations of some books or films, if you feel a commitment to the language and want to know more, this is the channel for you. In a didactic and fun way, the philologist on duty teaches, and very well!
6. Criticutres and fantastic cinema. If you are a fan of science fiction and fantasy films, you can find reviews galore on this channel. There are new releases, but also classics to discover on the content platforms. Good advice for unlimited entertainment.
