Technical ‘CV Deep Dive’ Interview: Interviewers: N and Y “This Interview will be similar to the Technical Skype Call; however, it will be more in depth. The engineers who will interview you will be basing their questions on the information given in your CV as well as what was discussed in the Skype Call. As such many questions will be based upon the following: • The questions that were asked in the Skype Call: The engineers may wish to go over some of the same questions, just in further detail. • The answers you gave during the Skype interview: It will be an opportunity for the engineers to probe a bit further into these answers. • New Questions: The Engineers who will be interviewing you will be different to who you spoke with on the Skype Call. As such they will have their own questions they will wish to ask you based on what they have seen in your CV.” I was asked to talk about 2 complex problems I solved during my career. I was told they did not have to be a specific type of problem (e.g. multi-threading). I did choose one involving threading, finance related, and one other from my experience in defense, which was more an engineering one. During the interview we dived deeply into various aspects. In some cases I could not recall the exact solution from several years back and said that, trying instead to say what can be done instead. There was *nothing* about the Skype call, and honestly, I am not even sure the people that interviewed me knew there was one or anything about its contents... so first 2 bullets above are misleading – I was studying advanced multi-threading constructs the night before up to midnight... should have just read a good book and go to sleep. Even bullet 3 is misleading as none of the interviewers before or after asked me anything about what’s written in my CV in any depth whatsoever. I could have invented complex problems if I wanted to (which I would never do – but just saying).
