Advice from candidates

11 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

• This is the most critical part of the entire hiring process. If your presentation is weak, you will be rejected ultimately even if you make it to the interview stage.

• You can use LLMs to learn the concepts required for your solution, but if you don’t have a fair understanding of them and just copy-paste the content directly without a second thought, you will get rejected. Make the PPT as visual as possible. Make diagrams (avoid AI-generated pictures, though I did use one pic in my presentation), include block diagrams, etc., and don't make the entire slide just text.

• Never submit an AI generated PPT, it can be easily recognised and they won’t even care to have a look at your solution.

• you may take help from AI to study the topics, but frame the solution in your own words, and also make the ppt yourself. It doesn’t matter how presentable your presentation is, as long as you have a solid solution. It doesn’t need to be beautiful, just make sure to have flowcharts and diagrams so that your idea is clearly conveyed. Also, know everything that you are writing in your ppt, and put some thought behind it so that if you are cross questioned about something you can talk about what was your reasoning to make that particular choice.
