I have the first phone call for Data and Applied Scientist position at Microsoft AI Development Acceleration Program. I applied for internship and filled out the schedule form accordingly. What should I expect in the phone call?

Thanks

    Just finished up a graduate D&AS internship this summer. For the phone screen, I would expect to be asked about your resume, mostly. Some people got one or two technical questions but I didn’t.

      OP
      Thank you for the detailed answer. Yes your interview was very heavy on stats and unfortunately don't have that much of understanding of stats but don't think it'll be an issue for vision group.

      By technical do you mean leetcode or probability or stats or SQL?

  • Every question is a veiled version of 2 questions:
    Does your past show that you would be effective in this role?
    Can you communicate this to someone who is unfamiliar with your background?
    Do you want this role? (Can you express this with your passion or hobbies?)

    Later interviews will basically be asking:
    Are you qualified?
    Are you passionate?
    Are you competent?
