We prefer to hire employees with an education in computer science or another related field. Walk me through your post-secondary education and training.
The interviewer will likely have an idea of your educational background from your resume. They are asking you to take a few minutes to bring the experience to life for them! Tell the interviewer about your major and any special academic recognition you received. Discuss the strengths gained during your post-secondary training and how those skills will help in your new position with Netflix.
"I completed my Bachelor of Applied Technology from Carnegie Mellon University in 2004. During that time, I specialized in Data Management and Analysis. I graduated with a 3.99 GPA, one of the top students in my class."
"I recently completed my Diploma in Information Technology. I also have a great deal of on-the-job training and certifications, all listed on my resume. One of the biggest takeaways from my post-secondary experience was learning how to manage my time while working on multiple projects successfully. I perfected my multi-tasking skills and look forward to bringing those to work for Netflix."
"As you can see from my resume, I don't have a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, but my work experience over the last three years has prepared me well for this role at Netflix. I'm also very trainable and can easily pick up on new technical concepts."

I received my Bachelor's Degree in business administration, majoring in Marketing with a second class honor. My Master's Degree was in Creative Advertising. And during my time here, I had won 2 advertising awards for students, one in the UK and one in Thailand. Therefore, I think I prove myself to be a strategic thinker, while also be able to translate strategies into something creative.
