to take a competitive examination [for a public sector position] Explanation: Depends on the context: In government employment, the concurso publico is a job selection process open to the public. It involves a competitive exam for a public sector position. "Fazer" in this case does NOT mean to give or make, but to "take." Just as Brazilians "fazer" um curso em informatica. Take a course in computer technology. In contracting the term can be translated as: competitive bidding process, or competitive bidding procedure, orbid proposal process. |
