Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  2. What NLP problem have you worked on, and how did you measure whether it actually worked?
  3. Tell me about a project where contact center was part of your work. What did you do?
  4. Tell me about a project where architecture was part of your work. What did you do?
  5. Tell me about a project where scripting was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume
