PyData is excited to be hosting a mock interview evening for you to sharpen your communication skills. Bring your resumes, your personal pitches or mission statements, and come early to socialize with pizza before we start the main event!
We are using a "speed dating" style format and we'll keep to the clock. We have several interviewers that you can choose from, and you'll have 8 minutes to interview plus 4 for getting feedback.
The interviews are mostly behavioral and only broadly technical, but they will be reflective of at least first round interviews at tech companies. There won't be any whiteboard coding challenges :) You should think about your unique blend of talents and offerings, and pretend that you'll be applying for a job that is suitable for whatever level you currently are. You'll let the interviewers know whether you're beginner, junior, or above to help set the tone.
If you've got experience hiring in this field, we are still looking for 1-2 more interviewers, especially women or from other under-represented groups in data science.
Schedule 6:30 - drinks and social chat 7:00 - interviews begin, rotating every 12 minutes 7:45 - interviews stop, final announcements, networking
