Mastering the Technical Interview
February 4, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Vector Institute is collaborating with Phase AI, a company dedicated to supporting data professionals in connecting, learning, and advancing their careers to run a two-part webinar series to accelerate your career in AI.
Technical interviews, take-home tests, and whiteboarding exercises are a common area of concern for data-focused job applicants. Phase AI will walk through the most common approaches to structuring technical interviews for data and AI roles. We will pay special attention to what a typical technical interview looks like – how it’s structured, what to expect, and how you can show up prepared for your next interview. We will role play key aspects of the technical interview.
This webinar will explore:
- Overview of the technical interview process and typical steps in different types of technical interviews
- Principles for success such as diagramming and how to leverage your portfolio
- Preview a role play of a mock interview for different AI/data job types
In addition to the webinars, Phase AI will also be doing one-on-one sessions with students to conduct mock technical interviews and to do a resume, Linkedin, and portfolio review. If you are interested in taking part in one of these sessions, please indicate your interest on the event registration form. Space is limited and Vector will reach out to the students that have been selected to participate in these one-on-one sessions later in January. Note that attendance at the webinars is required for students who wish to participate in a one-on-one session.
