Editor’s note: This article was first published in June 2011. The contest details are from that month: 20 problems, and 10 finalists spending a working day at Tuenti’s Madrid and Barcelona offices with the chance of being hired.

Tuenti has made an excellent decision by launching a contest to find new programming talent. It doesn’t matter whether you have a degree or what you studied, and you won’t be judged on what you have, but on what you can do with it.

The Tuenti programming contest starts on 13 June and lasts a week, so from today you can sign up until 12 June. The contest consists of solving 20 programming problems, and 10 candidates will be selected to visit Tuenti’s offices and spend a working day alongside one of the network’s engineers, seeing what an ordinary day at its Madrid and Barcelona offices is like.

Once you’ve shown what you’re worth, you’ll have the chance to be hired by the network. So go for it, tell any friends who might be interested, and good luck in the contest.
