In this workshop, we’ll practice interview questions related to Python, such as: describe a benefit that Python has over other programming languages. We’ve identified 3 fundamental Python questions which are commonly asked in interviews where Python is a job requirement. In breakout sessions with your peers, you’ll have the opportunity to practice the specificity and intelligiblity of your response. Gain practice, get feedback, and learn from others by hearing their responses.

Interviews are conversations, and the aim of this practice is to improve how you deliver your answer. Come practice with fellow Nanodegree students and alumni, and get interviewing tips from Career Coach Angela.
