Process
I gave my resume at the career fair and got an interview directly, which was on the second day. It was a face-to-face interview, and the interviewer asked me almost entirely non-technical questions. Most were based on my resume.
Questions
A lot about my personal experience and several questions about Python. Explain the difference between map and something else.
