| Generic reply: When I'm recruiting I ask two questions of a candidate: * What value do you add to my company? * What proof do you have that you add that value? I want to know that you will be of net benefit. To try to satisfy that you need to know what my company needs. Then you need to claim to be able to fill those needs, and finally, you need to back up those claims with evidence. So you think you want to work for me? I do soft real-time processing of image data, extracting features, compressing the data, transmitting it, displaying it for action by operators. Show me that you can learn about these things - you won't have the explicit domain knowledge, but I want to know that you can acquire the domain knowledge, and then have the skills to do the necessary processing. Have you already read about, understood, and implemented some algorithms? Have you made small improvements to them? Have you chosen the right language for the job? And so on. I'm unusual, so you need to remap everything I've said into the industry you're interested in. |
