"it is an amazing opportunity in life without any doubt!": meet Ester, RF technician at CERN.

Hi Ester, Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN? 

I found out about CERN when I was a student and I was only 20 years old, living in Valladolid, Spain.
I did not know the Organization: it was all completely new for me, and a friend told me about the Technician Training Experience (TTE) fellowship program.
I thought: this sounds really impossible and difficult for me ... but ok let’s try!

"it is a very varied job, and I like that": meet Håvard, electromechanical technician from Norway

Hello Håvard, Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you to CERN?

My name is Håvard Hålien and I’m 36 years old. I come from a mountain valley in Norway called Valdres. Most of my life I have been interested in mechanical stuff and loved fixing and repairing things. So it was natural that this should be my path in education as well. I worked many years for a company that produced various kinds of industrial tools and parts for auto and offshore/subsea industry, to mention a few.
