Application Advice For The Future Summer Students

Because I got a number of emails asking for some advice regarding the application for the CERN Summer Student and openlab programs, I concluded it would be nice to put a summary here.

So I asked my dear friends from openlab for advice and we came up with these key points:

1 - Find what you would like to work on at CERN, google what technologies they use and emphasize your knowledge of them in your CV. It might be good to be interested in some of the Oracle technologies, since it is one of the companies that fund the project.

2 - Include the right keywords: javascript, Hadoop, python, what you know and want to use.

3 - Have publicly available code on github. As much as possible. It's a great way to link your skills to experience and work you've done.

You can also find some information in Czech on Peter's blog.

If you have a more specific question, shoot me an email. Now you go and apply :)

Good luck!
