Interview process

There will be a 45 minute interview [schedule here] that will have a few questions about your work in T4SG as well as talking through a deliverable.

Deliverable:

• Historically, most Exploration team members successfully transition to SWE and UX teams the following semester. Keeping in mind that Exploration accounts for a large proportion of our diversity and upward mobility in T4SG, please create a one-pager about:

  1. Your strategic goals for the Director of Exploration role. While you may think about other goals, we would be particularly interested in the following:
  • Candidate selection
  • Curriculum improvement. Slides from S22 can be found here, and F22 here. Please feel free to talk about your teaching philosophy here!
  • One other concrete goal/improvement you would be passionate about pursuing

  2. How you plan to achieve them

  3. [IF APPLICABLE] The metrics you can use to track them on a near-weekly basis. A few pieces of advice:

  • Be cognizant of how easy it is to track the metric you’re referring to! (ex: hours per week can be hard because it varies by weekly task and person)
  • Focus on depth and not breadth! You should have a sense of where Exploration can improve and think about a few key strategies rather than going super wide and half-executing on many of them.

• Please submit the deliverable the night before the interview (email it to Alyssa, April, and Andrew)!

Interview structure:

• 45-min interview between 11/28 and 12/4
  • The reasoning behind the 45-min-long interview is that we can really talk in-depth through some of the ideas you bring. Additionally, it won't give as much pressure to answer questions very quickly and give you time to think through your answers (which should hopefully mean that you won't spend a ton of time preparing before the interview).
  • It very well may not take the whole block but it’s useful just to keep the time blocked off!
• Walk through of deliverable
• Behavioral questions about your past work
• Scenario questions about hypotheticals
