Interviewing, Negotiating a Job Offer, and Career Planning

Welcome to Module 1, Develop and Refine Your Interviewing Skills. After deciding on a position, updating your materials, and applying for jobs in the first two courses, now it’s time to prepare for interviews. In this module, we will discuss what research and preparation need to happen before an interview, what to do and say during an interview, and what actions need to be taken soon after an interview. We’ll conclude this module with a reflection on past interviews that might have included some sour notes and what can be done differently in the future.

Welcome to Module 2, Preparing for Technical Interviews. Technical interviews are an opportunity to show your interviewers how well you can perform the skills associated with your desired role. In this module, we will cover common technical interview questions, places you can practice various data science interview problems, red flags to avoid, and other ways to prepare for your technical interview. We will wrap up the module with a discussion on how to improve your interview performance.

Welcome to Module 3, Negotiating a Job Offer. Congratulations! All your hard work has paid off and you’ve got a job offer. As exciting as this is, the work is not over. Now you need to decide if the offer meets your expectations. In this module, we will discuss best practices related to accepting or declining a job offer. We will also explore strategies for negotiating your salary and other benefits. We will close the module with a discussion about personal experiences with job offer negotiation and what strategies we plan to implement in our next negotiation.
