Questions you could be asked

  1. How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
  2. How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
  3. Tell me about a research question you investigated. What did you find?
  4. How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
  5. Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Rag, Ml Ops, and AI Research. 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.
