Portfolio projects that get interviews
Comes up in: Hiring manager, Take-home
This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.
What it covers
- 3 project specs: (1) RAG assistant with evals and citations
- (2) tool-using agent with human approval and tracing
- (3) an MCP server + client app, or a fine-tuned small model with an eval comparison
- what reviewers look for (evals, cost, failure analysis, clean README, demo video)
Words you will know
What you will practise
- build at least 2 of the 3 projects
Interview questions this answers
- Tell me about a time a model behaved unexpectedly in production.
