|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Hack a what?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are a team of hackers running the [Data Center
|
||||||
|
Light](https://datacenterlight.ch) at ungleich 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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 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

||||||

|
||||||
|
Unfortunately we cannot offer anyone from

|
impossible constraints for hiring attached.
|
