Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Tell me about a project where product design was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where ux design was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where saas was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume

- 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.
