J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez CERN
Entretien
The interview is conducted via a recorded video interview. CERN uses SmartRecruiters website to conduct the interview. I was asked 5 questions in total. The whole interview took about 5-6 minutes, so if you are applying to CERN, be prepared to be very concise in your answers to the interview questions.

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.
