Intensive Technical Interview Prep
Overview
This program includes a weekly study plan for technical interview preparation. Each week concludes with a mock interview centered on that week's topic. You will receive two mock interview scripts so you and a partner can alternate between interviewer and interviewee roles.
You should also leverage your career advisor for behavioral interview practice, resume feedback, and introductions to hiring partners and Erdős alumni at companies you are targeting.
