After learning about an opening, I connected with a professor and we set up an interview. It was pretty straightforward; I mainly discussed my limited resume and past work, but I made sure to show my interest in the project and ask thoughtful questions. There were a few basic technical questions, but overall, the whole experience was quite fair and went smoothly.
