I have an interview for business intelligence engineer. From the recruiter I was informed the interview cover topics; LP, sql, use cases and visualization.
I am preparing for LP and sql as I found lot of references and sources online. But for questions on visualization and use case , I need help from this community.
Thanks in advance.

I was asked in my interview what's my strongest of the leadership principles and my weakest of the leadership principles. So have an answer ready for that too

This ^! Great tips, ultimately put in your time prepping and make sure you practice your answers out loud not just in your mind or on paper. Look up sample behavior questions online and align them with the LPs, have 2-3 questions/answers prepped for each LP with generally 5-8 projects at the ready. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
I cannot stress this enough - give data driven examples. They want to hear cost / time saving, quality improvement and/or risk mitigation examples! Say what your goal was vs what you delivered and why it's important. "My goal was X. I delivered X and Y wich resulted in Z% improvement"
Also, be prepared to discuss lessons learned for each of your examples. The common follow up questions you'll get is "what was your greatest lessons learned from this experience?" And "if you had to do it over again, what would you do differently next time?" Do not say "I wouldn't change anything." Do say what you would have improved on and, if you have it, tell how you used that lesson learned in future projects
Have examples ready for the leadership principles and use data for all your answers. Don’t just say you did something, say what it drove. It can be made up, not going to be fact check. But have data and an analysis of that data ready for your examples that’s a huge part of it.
