Data Analyst interview questions: the 8 to ask

A data analyst answers business questions with data: dashboards, analyses and recommendations.

  1. 1.How do you check a number is right before presenting it?
  2. 2.A KPI drops 20%: how do you investigate?
  3. 3.Write a query that computes monthly retention.
  4. 4.How do you choose a chart type?
  5. 5.How do you handle a vague request from a manager?
  6. 6.Correlation vs causation: a concrete example?
  7. 7.How do you document a dashboard?
  8. 8.Tell me about an analysis that changed a decision.

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
