How I Prepared For The CERN Fellowship Interview

Wish to talk to me?: topmate.io/anish_sachdeva
In this video I discuss How I prepared for the CERN Fellowship Interview which I gave in 2021. In this video I simply discuss my approach to interview preparation in a short time.
I covered:
1. Java Basics
2. Design Patterns
3. OOPs concepts
4. Data structures
5. Algorithms
6.Dynamic Programming and much much more

Kindly start uploading again. Very informative.

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Thanks for the compliment and feedback. I will see what I can do 🙂

[@SudhirKumar-cf7ep]

Did you got mail for ModernHire interview?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

When i applied, at that time CERN was using a different platform called SONRU, and now they have changed to ModernHire, but the principle is still the same. They are still using video interviews. It's the exact same thing, just a different company.

[@muneerahmed4799]

Hello Anish , try making a video on your expenses living in Switzerland

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Sure 😊 will try

[@arpitgupta6043]

Hi there! Can you give a hint when the interviews happen for the November end selection committee this year? I have applied for the Electrical Engineering departments and was wondering until how long should I be hopeful to get an interview call.

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Well first of all if your application is complete you will be invited for SONRU interview. after the SONRU interview there's no guarantee. You could be invited, you could not be maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it could even take upto a month to get an interview call.

[@amairivas6310]

Hi! Great video, I am planning to apply to the Technical Studentship. My question is, how did that preparation help you in the interview? Did they actually make you programm any design pattern, for example?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

well this video is how I prepared for fellowship and not technical student, but I was not asked a deign patter question :) but I was asked several programming questions.

[@amairivas6310]

@@AnishLearnsToCode Thank you! Actually your videos made my applying process easier! 👌👌

[@tanzeelurrehman2802]

Hi there, is JavaScript good enough to apply for technical student program at CERN?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Well there are no specific language requirements for the Technical Student program. You can have experience with any language. Also, each team has it's own needs, they will have different tech stack and also knowing core DS + Algo is much more important than knowing the syntax of any language. If you are good at problem solving/ Algo + DS, you can learn any language you want.

[@Naeem_Shehzad4u]

hi, Anish! hope you are fine and doing well. I received a mail from CERN for an interview, could you please guide me on what type of things they discuss in their initial interview? My interview's last date is 17 Oct. thanks in advance

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Is this the SONRU interview in which case many people have already asked what kind of questions come in SONRU and you can go through the comments and have a look at that.

[@oneaboveall93]

@@AnishLearnsToCode Is there 2 different interviews?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

@@oneaboveall93 Every department has their own policy, I was interviewed only once. Maybe some departments dont interview at all and just hire on the basis of resume. Maybe some take online coding test + interview. There is no standard CERN interview. Is your interview with a person or SONRU ?

[@user-qi2vh7ye4w]

​@@AnishLearnsToCode is this only for exclusively for technical students programm, or does it also cater to other roles such as full-stack developers?

[@naveenhv635]

Hi! Thank you for your video. I got a mail from CERN for the SONRU interview. I had applied for a Technical Internship. Could you please tell me how can I prepare for this interview?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

There is an option in SONRU for a trial run just to check your microphone and video camera. I highly suggest that you take the trial run once and then you will also get some sample questions. Those sample questions will give you an idea of what are the type of questions that can be expected.

[@naveenhv635]

​@@AnishLearnsToCode That's great! Thank you.

[@hanan2996]

Bro.. Can i have your insta?

[@sarthaktrivedi8180]

Hi bhaiya. I’m going to start my college this fall for ug in mechanical engineering (from some NIT probably), so can you please give me some tips which would boost my profile. ( also doing BSc data science and programming from IIT Madras- online )

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

well, just be a strong programmer with good fundamentals, so focus on basic things like data structures and algorithms and core concepts of dbms, os etc. and I can't gaurantee cern but overall you should be fine, you'll get something or the other and it will be good.

[@sarthaktrivedi8180]

@@AnishLearnsToCode Thanks. I’ll definitely try to keep these points in mind. Also from all the interview experience videos I’ve seen it can be deduced that even CERN can’t guarantee you a place at CERN lol( unique selection process ).

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

yup, its a team at CERN that will select you, not CERN in its entirety.

[@ankurgiri7589]

Hello how much time did it take for you to get long stay visa? I am upcoming tech student

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

It took me about 3 weeks to get my French visa.

[@exception_72]

Heyy in one video you said you got an internship at Auckland university...How did you applies for the internship..Was it was sponsored...how was your experience

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

I applied for the university of Auckland summer research fellowship internship. It was a fully funded research internship and it lasted approximately 6 weeks in Auckland. The internship was very mathematically oriented and I really enjoyed it.

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

I applied for the internship on university of Auckland website

[@atharvapawar6344]

Hey Anish, How do I prepare for the SONRU interview

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

They ask very generic questions for the CERN Fellowship program so you just need to practice generic questions like Why do you want to work here ? What kind of environment you like working in etc. ?

[@rishikagupta1874]

Hi, can you share what questions were asked in the interview for Technical Student?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

I have 2 videos on Technical student, I have answered that there.

[@user-qi2vh7ye4w]

Could you kindly share the questions that were asked during your fellowship interview?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

It was a long interview, almost 1 hour. They asked me basic DSA questions related to binary tree structure. They also asked behavioural questions like how I would respond in different situations etc. Having said that, there is no standard interview process at CERN. All teams have there own style/process etc. so it can't be generalised.

[@roadtofinland]

Have you got selection for this?

[@AnishLearnsToCode]

Yes. I am currently a fellow at CERN.
