I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CERN in Apr 2021
Interview
After fulfilling the application, I got a video-interview invitation and was supposed to complete it in two weeks of time. The platform was kind of impersonal, making it more difficult for me to think about my answers, since the time was very limited.

Question 1
Describe a problem you encountered while working in a team and how you solved it.
Un entretien par visio en différé, puis un physicien m'a contactée et on a continué le processus de cette manière, ça a été plutôt rapide. Ensuite il faut attendre la date donnée du CERN pour voir si le profil a effectivement été retenu
It was not too difficult. It firstly asked to introduce myself. Then I was told why I am motivated to work for cern. Then they asked if I had applied to other organisation.
