Interview Prep

Practise the questions you may be asked.

Example

  1. Tell us about a time you found errors in a dataset. What did you do?

    Why they ask
    They want to see that you check data carefully and act on problems.
    How to prepare
    Pick one real example. Say what the error was, how you found it and what changed after.
  2. How would you explain a dashboard to someone who doesn't like numbers?

    Why they ask
    Researchers share results with managers and communities, not only analysts.
    How to prepare
    Show you can keep it simple: one key message, one chart, one action.
  3. Why do you want to work in research?

    Why they ask
    They're checking motivation and whether you'll stay.
    How to prepare
    Connect your answer to something real in your community and to this institute's work.
