body:
|
||||
|
||||
On the 1st of November to 3rd of November the 2019 edition of
|
||||
**Hack-a-job** will take place in the
|
||||
[Hacking Hotel Diesbach, Switzerland](https://hack.digitalglarus.ch/hacking-and-living-in-hotel-diesbach.html).
|
||||
|
||||
## Hack a what?
|
||||
|
||||
We are a team of hackers running the [Data Center
|
||||
Light](https://datacenterlight.ch) at [ungleich](https://ungleich.ch)
|
||||
and we think that hacking to get a job is the right way
|
||||
of finding someone fitting to us.
|
||||
|
||||
## How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
At Hack-a-job you have one weekend to show your skills. You will be
|
||||
given the choice of three different tasks and you choose one of them.
|
||||
You then have 42 hours to do your best to solve the task. During these
|
||||
42 hours, we will coach you and direct you into the right direction.
|
||||
|
||||
During that time, food and drinks will be provided.
|
||||
|
||||
After 42h you present your work and in the afternoon of the
|
||||
Sunday, everyone will get direct feedback from the jury.
|
||||
|
||||
## Who can apply?
|
||||
|
||||
At this Hack-a-job edition anybody can apply, who can start working in
|
||||
Switzerland without special work permits. This usually includes
|
||||
|
||||
* citizens of EU/EFTA countries
|
||||
* Swiss citizens
|
||||
|
||||
Checkout

||||

|
||||
* https://www.sem.admin.ch/dam/data/sem/eu/fza/broschueren/blau-europaeer-in-ch-e.pdf
|
||||
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
Unfortunately we cannot offer anyone from
|
||||
"third states" to participate, as this has complicated and partially
|
||||
impossible constraints for hiring attached. If you are a creative mind
|
||||
and can convice us that you can be hired nonetheless - this might be a
|
||||
good chance for earning first points.
|
||||
|
||||
You should be at least 18 years old to participate.
|
||||
|
||||
Go [to the application page for registering!](https://survey.ungleich.ch/2/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Who gets the job?
|
||||
|
||||
**Up to two people** can stay and to join our team.
|
||||
The criteria for evaluation can be seen below.
|
||||
|
||||
We promise to be fair, however joining Hack-a-job does not mean
|
||||
you get the job.
|
||||
|
||||
### Degree of success
|
||||
|
||||
How much of the task did you get done?
|
||||
Is it solved
|
||||
|
||||
* not at all
|
||||
* partially
|
||||
* mostly
|
||||
* fully
|
||||
|
||||
?
|
||||
|
||||
### Cleanliness of the solution
|
||||
|
||||
Is your solution
|
||||
|
||||
* documented?
|
||||
* easy to understand?
|
||||
* using best practice?
|
||||
|
||||
### Creativity of the solution
|
||||
|
||||
Did you think out-of-the-box? Are you employing smart solutions?
|
||||
|
||||
### Sustainability / Unix Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
How much did you think about running your application for longer?
|
||||
Did you follow the unix philosophy?
|
||||
|
||||
### Communication
|
||||
|
||||
Work is only worth something, if other team members can work with
|
||||
you. How do you communicate with the mentors?
|
||||
How do you present your solution?
|
||||
|
||||
## What if I win?
|
||||
|
||||
The winner(s) of Hack-a-job are getting offered the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* A 1 year contract with ungleich, likely to be extended
|
||||
* A monthly pre-tax salary of 2'500 CHF
|
||||
* A paid stay in the Hacking Hotel with native IPv6 10 Gbit/s network
|
||||
* A halb tax (half fare) card for Swiss trains
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally you can request to be reimbursed for the travel expenses
|
||||
to Hack-a-Job.
|
||||
|
||||
## What if I don't win?
|
||||
|
||||
Then you probably will take home a lot of new knowledge and you will
|
||||
get a certificate for participation. Also you get a good feeling for
|
||||
being one of the 6 people that were invited in the first place.
|
||||

||||
