      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CERN in Nov 2021

      Interview

      You apply. After they review your profile you will be asked to go through a video interview that will record your answers. If you are choosen to advance they will request you to take a test with a time limit of two houts. After the test, there will be online (COVID period) interview(s). The online interview(s) will be, one which will be mostly to prepare you for the next two main ones that will follow. During the (first main one) panel interview that will follow you have to present yourself via apowerpoint, in 7 miutes or so. And you are basically asked questions from the people in the panel, so they can understand who you are on a basic level. The next (second main) one after that is to discuss the results of the technical test that you were given to fill out (with a two hour time limit). If chosen congrats, you will be one of a few. If not you will receive (hopefully) some contructive feedback about what did not convinced them, from which part of the whole process.
