I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at CERN in May 2018
Interview
1) Submitted an online form, the online form had many question but if you have applied previously all the data is saved except the job specific details.
2) Was invited for a Web Interview, hosted by SONRU. Really easy process and general questions.

Interview questions [1]
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.
