We will ask questions about your coursework and some of the projects you have worked on. Be prepared to explain your contributions to those projects with an emphasis on the technical aspects.
Q&A
This is the get-to-know-us part of the interview. Use this as an opportunity to learn more about working as a developer at CapTech. Think about what you find interesting or the qualities that you value most in a company.
What We Are Looking For
We like to see specific examples of when someone has used data analysis or data visualization to solve a problem and how they have worked with datasets to do so.
Data skills: You should be familiar with the data analysis process and have some high -level knowledge of concepts like dataset cleansing and merging. While you aren’t expected to have a coding languate mastered, it’s helpful to have exposure to a language like SQL or Python. Think back on your experience working with data as part of a class or internship project, and some of the tasks you may have undertaken in your analysis.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: As consultants, it’s important for us to clearly articlutate our experiences and skills. Be prepared to talk through past projects and be honest abou t what you know – it’s alright to admit if you don’t have experience with something.
Tips on Preparation
Practice, practice, practice!
- Take advantage of performing mock interviews with friends or classmates and practice explaining your answers out loud.
