I interviewed at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
The interview lasted around 30 minutes and was focused primarily on assessing my Python proficiency, as the role involved working extensively with parsing and analyzing data from Python files. The questions were straightforward and revolved around core Python concepts such as file handling, working with dictionaries and lists, string manipulation, and basic object-oriented programming. I was also asked about how I would approach extracting structured information from unstructured or semi-structured text within code files. Overall, the discussion was more conversational than technical, aimed at understanding my comfort level with Python and my thought process when working with real-world data extraction tasks.

Interview
The interview process is quite non-technical and mostly behavioural. It's quite informal. The interviews are very job specific, so your resume has already done half the interviewing for you. I was sent a link to a data science project and was asked to model blood pressure from other patient health records. Had a bout 2 days to submit. Was selected based on my submission.

Question 1
What projects have you done in this particular area relevant to our project? (For me it was modelling health indicators based on Patient data)
The interview process is not really too complicated. I would say it is pretty straightforward in terms of what kind of questions the interviewer is asking. Should not be longer than 30 minutes.

They asked about my interest and why I wanted to come and join the specific lab at the hospital. What my intentions were in the long run and if I was going to stay long or not.
