Questions you could be asked

Walk me through fine-tuning a model: what data did you use, and how did you check the result?
Walk me through a computer vision problem you solved, from raw data to a deployed model.
What are the limits of PyTorch that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
What's a project where you used TensorFlow hands-on?
How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?

Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: Fine-tuning, Computer vision, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
