In this podcast episode John David breaks down a tactic to improve your analytics interview skills. Almost all analytics interview questions start with an open ended question like "Tell me about yourself". In this podcast episode John David breaks down a cohesive and succinct way to approach this question and get your interview off to a great start.


Podcast notes:


Most aspiring data analysts aren't great at INTERVIEWING


They tend to struggle with open ended questions


Here's a strategy to answer those types of questions...


CREATE a professional "why statement" as it relates to your analytics journey


One sentence about your PAST


One sentence about your PRESENT


One sentence about your FUTURE


This may feel like too short of an answer but you should think of an interview as a conversation and not a monologue


Allow your interviewer to ask follow up questions to guide the conversation instead of trying to guess what they want to hear
