Select the area of the team that you like and you'll see some guidelines for the letter here.
Describe anything about your experience in computer repairs (desktop or laptops), or building computers, or soldering of electronic components.
If you don't know something, what do you do to learn it yourself, usually? You can give us some examples as well.
If you ever used Linux, feel free to talk about it: we install Linux on every computer that we repair.
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests other than repairing computers.
We don't provide a minimum nor a maximum length, but please do write a bit.
One of the goals of the team is to develop electronic tools for low-level hardware diagnostics and the reuse of recovered hardware.
What's your relationship with electronics? Are you more interested in digital or analog (especially power) electronics do you like both equally?
If you ever made any electronic circuit or project other than those for academic courses, tell us. Explain also the method you've used to build them (breadboard, prototype board, PCB, through-hole components or SMD, etc...)
Tell us if you have experience with any Electronic Design Automation software (project, simulation, test and verification, etc...).
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests other than designing circuits.
We don't provide a minimum nor a maximum length, but please do write a bit.
Our team mainly uses PHP, Javascript (Node and Vue.js) and Python to build our software project. What we build is directly used by other team members to ease their workflow and efficiently manage activities.
Our main projects are:
You can have a look so you know what you're going to work on.
Describe any prior experience you have in coding in any of the aforementioned languages, and don't hesitate sharing your Github account in your letter if you have one!
Even "for the exam of ... I created a program that does ..." or "I made the website for the bakery around the corner" are fine.
If you know other programming languages, don't hesitate to share your experience.
You can also mention whether you know other programming languages or have ever participated to other collaborative projects.
If you ever used Linux, feel free to talk about it: we install Linux on every computer that we repair.
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests other than typing code.
We don't provide a minimum nor a maximum length, but please do write a bit.
Our sysadmins ensure that IT tools - which are essential for the team - are operating at peak efficiency.
To do this, they manage our servers, collaborate with developers to deploy and update the software we made, monitor the health of our infrastructure and ensure that our data is safe from attacks and other disasters.
Sysadmins oversee the entire service life cycle, from server configuration through Ansible, to containerization and service management, to routine maintenance procedures.
The competences you will use are general knowledge of Ansible and containes, familiarity with managing and configuring common server software like Nginx, PHP and MariaDB/PostgreSQL, and familiarity with the Linux terminal.
If you have any experience with this stuff, it's time to talk about it.
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests other than managing servers.
We don't provide a minimum nor a maximum length, but please do write a bit.
Do you have good communication and organizational skills, you like our team and you want to help us improve our public image? This is the right place!
We are looking for someone to perform the following tasks:
- Write and publish posts/stories for our social media
- Organize temporal scheduling of contents
- Define the communication strategy in general
- Come up with new ideas for podcasts and videos
- Maintain relations with third parties, other associations and guests
You will work together with digital content creators, who will provide graphic and video resources (or you can make them yourself, if you have the skills).
Now tell us about yourself.
Describe any experience you have in managing pages or profiles (e.g. personal, business, of random memes, etc...) on social networks, in particular Facebook and Instagram.
Mention also the results you achieved with such promotional activities, if you can.
If you had to explain in a few lines what does the team do, what would you write?
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests.
We don't provide a minimum nor a maximum length, but please do write a bit.
Not all the computers that we get are repairable, but we'd still like to minimize the quantity of stuff that goes into the trash can.
If you have any DIY skills and/or experiences in creative reuse and/or "making" this is the moment to tell us.
You can also add some ideas (if you have any) on how we could reuse empty cases, particularly beautiful motherboards or shiny plates from broken hard disk drives.
Point out which method you'd follow to develop these projects, too.
Mention how much time you have for team activities, too, and if you have any other hobby or interests.
