Question 1 · Role-specific

Tell me about a time your analysis changed what a team decided to do.

A real example with a clear decision, but the analysis has a gap an interviewer will probe, and the ending is vague.

How it scored

  • Structure (STAR)70
  • Communication72
  • Technical accuracy58
  • Confidence64
  • Clarity74
  • Grammar85

  • Filler words60

What worked

  • Specific situation with a real decision at stake
  • You did the analysis yourself, in SQL

What to improve

  • Comparing openers with non-openers mixes in who opens emails — say how you accounted for that, or say it was a first look
  • End with the result: what happened after they kept the email
  • Drop the filler (“Um”, “so that was good”)

Missing details

  • How many people or weeks the comparison covered
  • What “bought more” meant (orders, revenue)
  • What happened afterwards

Your answer, tightened. Parts in [brackets] are prompts for missing points — fill them in only if they’re true for you.

At Lumen Retail, the marketing team planned to cut a weekly email they believed wasn’t driving sales. I wrote SQL comparing purchases from people who opened it with those who didn’t, over [time period]. Openers placed [more orders / more revenue], though I flagged that frequent buyers are also more likely to open emails. I presented the results in a dashboard, and the team kept the email and [what happened next]. Next time I’d suggest a holdout test to measure the email’s effect directly.

From your resume you could mention

  • Cut monthly report preparation from 3 days to 1 day by automating data pulls in SQL
  • Built a churn model in Python on a public subscription dataset

They might follow up with

  • How did you know the email caused the purchases?
  • How would you set up an A/B test for this?
  • What would have changed your recommendation?
