Mine was for the Data Analyst position, but I can share some details if it would be helpful! I’m new to this platform, but I think you can DM me 🤪

Just did it, still want to know?

It was a case where you had 100 rooms in a commercial building for rent for people. From there, you would get some information about the revenues and costs. Then you'd have to answer things like how to get a target return (i.e. break even but instead of 0 you would put the profit number as the dollar value of return) and that sort of thing. From there, some piece of information is changed and you're asked how it will affect profitability or something like that. There's also the qualitative aspect of the situation. Like, what could we do to reduce costs or bring in my people.

My mistake in the interview was trying to talk along the interviewer while solving the question and then being too fluid in my qualitative answers. I would recommend solving the problems in silence and then presenting your answers. You can, of course, ask questions, but I would lay out everything on paper and then concisely bring the writing to spoken word.

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
