If you haven't been working with Tableau and Power BI every day but have occasionally worked with them and done the training, how would you address that in an interview?

Say you have extensive experience. Not even kidding. Everyone bluffs. Fake it till you make it. You can figure it out when you get hired, google is your friend. These tools are really not that complicated at all.

Say you’re proficient and describe your experience. Ask if they’re looking for something specific. When someone says they’re an expert in a tech or tool, I’ll skip all the entry level questions and go deep immediately to not waste time and find the edge. It can go great, or not so much

Call yourself proficient then be ready to give example of a project - unless you get live test or something no one will know

Would it be helpful or harmful to focus ohe other technical work and experience not listed in the posting? E.g. SQL, Python, Azure

I’d say focus on what’s listed - people don’t always want to pay for extra features. They want plug and play. Having peripheral knowledge doesn’t hurt obviously but I’d brush up and sound confident in tableau if that’s what they want.

You'll say that you have extensive experience. Do not tell them the truth.
Reason: Everybody lies about proficiency that can't be tested in 10-15 minutes. So when hiring , someone says extensive experience. I hear knows how to open the tool and do basic shiz.
Someone says proficient I think knows what the icon looks like, has opened it a couple of times.
Someone says "have some experience" , I hear "once walked passed somone who was using it, seemed cool".
I think you get the flow.

So I had a coding interview recently and have decided that the format was actually pretty unfair for people with ADHD. Essentially you have to code the answer on a screen shared with the interviewer whilst explaining it and listening to the interviewer - all of this is anxiety provoking and distracting meaning I underperformed on quite a simple coding task. It felt a bit like asking a person who has dyslexia to compete in a spelling bee rather than a written test.
Thoughts?
