Questions about background and experience Flashcards
Why did you leave the internship?
There was downsizing due to covid.
Why did you study what you studied?
I originally wanted to go to law school, fell out of love with the idea. Found myself more interested in my math courses than politics courses.
Added the statistics minor when I realized I wanted to do data science.
Tell me about a time when you participated in a team. What was your role?
I worked on my own for the most part in my internship.
One instance was when I was a tutor. We each focused in one subject matter, but would commonly collaborate to fill in gaps. We were all capable students, so no matter who came in, they would leave with the help they needed.
If you want to really go back in time, I was the captain of my cross country and track teams. **Comedic refrain
Tell me about a time when you worked with interpreting and presenting data
During my internship, I was tasked with assisting in the determination of equipment, infrastructure and human capital needs for next year.
Tell me about a time when you had to convey technical information to a non-technical audience
I was required to distill some multivariate regression analysis I did to stakeholders.
