Questions you could be asked

How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
Walk me through a computer vision problem you solved, from raw data to a deployed model.
What NLP problem have you worked on, and how did you measure whether it actually worked?
How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?

Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt Engineering, Ml Ops, Computer Vision, and Nlp. 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.
