What are some ways to show your enthusiasm for computer vision in an interview?

Showcase your projects

Don't just learn; see it come to life! Build real-world projects with image and video processing and go beyond theoretical knowledge. Showcase your practical skills. But where do you begin? Here are quick tips:

1. Project Ideas:

- Build a face recognition system for security purposes.

- Develop an object-tracking app for fitness analysis and feedback.

- Design an image segmentation tool for creative filters.

2. Choosing the Right Challenge:

Start small with beginner projects, match your interests, consider real-world impact, and collaborate with open-source communities to build your network.

3. Build a Portfolio:

- Document your project's development process.

- Create an impressive portfolio website.

- Improve your project regularly.


Explain your approach

Let's face it: anyone can throw code at a problem. But can you explain why you chose that approach, how you overcame hurdles, & where it might lead in the future? Now, that's how you stand out in the crowd.

Start with the "Why": Briefly explain what motivates you to solve this specific task. Are you fascinated by the technical challenge, its potential impact, or its connection to a larger interest?

Map the Journey: Outline the key steps you would take to tackle the problem. This demonstrates your understanding of the different approaches and methodologies available.

Highlight Your Expertise: Emphasize your specific skills & knowledge relevant to the task. Mention your experience with relevant programming languages, libraries, or algorithms.


Share your learning resources

As Leonardo da Vinci quotes, "Learning never exhausts the mind."

Here's how you can excel at it:

  1.  Highlight specific resources that helped you grasp complex concepts or explore new areas.

  2. Mention online forums, communities, or events you participate in and discussions or collaborations that sparked your interest or helped you learn.

  3. Briefly explain why you find a particular resource valuable. Did it offer a unique perspective or spark new ideas?

  4. Briefly discuss resources that challenged your understanding, how you evaluated their credibility, and how you incorporated them into your knowledge base.

  5. Share your computer vision projects or learning goals to showcase your proactive approach toward staying updated with the latest advancements.

Ask relevant questions

Remember, confidence is key! Ask your questions with clarity, genuine curiosity, and a smile.

Ready to impress? Note down these examples:

  • "Can you share your thoughts on the ethical implications of using computer vision technology in the Y scenario, given the company's recent project on X?" (Replace X & Y with specific details.)

  • "What are the biggest challenges your team faces in achieving high accuracy in object detection for the Z industry?" (Replace Z with the specific industry mentioned in the job description.)

  • "During my research on W (mention a specific challenge related to the position), I encountered the X approach. Have you explored this approach at all, and what were your findings?" (Replace W and X with relevant details.)

Express your passion

Expressing your passion and motivation for computer vision is crucial to showcasing your genuine interest and drive. Here are some ways you can effectively do that:

  • Share what initially drew you to computer vision. Was it a specific project, technological advancement, or potential application?

  • Share your contributions that showcase your passion in action. Did you participate in hackathons, build your applications, or contribute to open-source projects?

  • Use enthusiastic language and genuine excitement when talking about the field. Your energy 

  • and passion will be contagious and leave a lasting impression.

  • Don't be afraid to be vulnerable! Share your learning journey, the challenges you've encountered, and how you overcame them.
