I’m an Analytics Consultant looking for industry roles as a data analyst/BI Developer. I’ve had a few recruiters and job postings ask directly for a dashboard sample. I obviously can’t give them anything I’ve worked on because of client’s proprietary data and NDAs. Has anyone run into this problem before? Did you end up making a dashboard with public data solely for industry interviews?

I was in my interview with Deloitte. I said that I did not have any samples as most of my work was client work and I was forbidden to take samples. I then told them that I would be more than happy to walk them through the visuals I had built out and the logic behind them by utilizing a wireframe.

They were entirely content with the answer and the interview went quite well. Good thing too, as I had never built a dashboard in my life. I was a front end developer.

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
