I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at CERN in July 2012
Interview
There was almost no process. I have applied for a job via online application web and besides resume, needed to justify why I want to work for the organization. After a month or so I got a phone call which was in fact only a request for confirmation of my starting date, which I did and next time I spoke with my supervisor was already at place on the first day.

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.
