Want to work at a consumer web company? There's no need to fear the big thing standing in your way: the interview. This class will help you to prepare and practice for the interview by reviewing common topics and questions so that you'll feel comfortable and confident about being able to answer any question that may be thrown your way.

The class focuses on computer science topics that frequently come up in programming interviews. It covers time complexity, hash tables, binary search trees, and some other things you might learn in 6.006. We'll also spend time talking about the interview process itself and how to present yourself and answers questions adroitly and fluidly.

We're also intending to bring in guest speakers: interviewers from local tech firms. You'll be able to ask them questions before you're on the spot.

If you want a job or internship at a computer science company, make sure you don't miss this class!
