About the test
The Prompt Engineering test evaluates candidates' practical skill in designing, refining, and applying prompts to get task-relevant outputs from AI tools and extract data from unstructured sources. This test requires writing prompts for LLMs that are tested using relevant data using automatic evaluation.
This test includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Writing instructions that follow a decision tree for a chatbot.
- Extracting structured data from free-form text.
- Classifying the intent of free-form text.
Roles such as AI Engineer and Machine Learning Specialist need a solid understanding of prompt engineering to use AI tools efficiently, consistently, and effectively in their work.
Sample public questions
An HR team uses LLMs to extract data from resumes and inserting it into their database.
Write a prompt for an LLM to extract the following from resumes using the output format provided in the example below:
- Full name - if it's not present, it should be just N/A.
- Years of experience - if it's not present, it should be -1.
- Skills - it should be None if not present.
Your prompt will be passed as the system prompt to the LLM, while the resume will be passed as the first user message.
For example, if this is the resume:
John Smith is a software engineer with 5 years of experience in backend development. He has worked with Python, Java, and SQL.
The output should be:
Full name: John Smith
Years of experience: 5
Skills: Python, Java, SQLA car rental company wants to categorize the intent of customer queries they get on email as shown in the image below:
The flowchart shows which categories take precedence.
Write an LLM prompt that will do that categorization. Your prompt will be passed as a system prompt to the LLM, while the customer query will be passed as the first user message.
For example, for the message "How much to rent an SUV between 1.5.2026. - 2.6.2026.?" the output should be "Category: Pricing query" since it's about the car rentals and the Pricing query category takes precedence over the Availability query category.
