1 Understand the role

The first step is to research the role and the company you are applying for. What are the main tasks, goals, and challenges of the position? What kind of data and tools do they use? How do they measure success? This will help you identify the key analytical skills that are relevant and expected for the role. For example, if you are applying for a marketing analyst role, you might need to demonstrate your ability to analyze customer behavior, market trends, and campaign performance using various metrics and software.

Understanding what the key areas of need are. Some organizations will have a pressing need for management reporting insights, while others may have a need for cash flow reporting. Ensuring you are a fit on paper should allow you to speak to the needs based on your experience.

2 Review your resume

The second step is to review your resume and think of specific examples that showcase your analytical skills. These examples should be relevant to the role and the company, and should highlight your achievements and impact. For example, if you are applying for a financial analyst role, you might mention how you used Excel to create financial models, forecast revenue, and evaluate risks for a previous project. You should also prepare to explain your methods, assumptions, and results using the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

3 Practice common questions

The third step is to practice answering common analytical questions that are likely to come up in any job interview. These questions can test your logical thinking, numerical reasoning, data interpretation, and problem-solving skills. For example, you might be asked to estimate the market size of a product, analyze a graph or a table, or solve a brainteaser or a case study. You should practice these questions using online resources, books, or mock interviews, and try to explain your thought process clearly and concisely.

Also, make sure you ask well thought out questions that pertain to the role. Make the interviewer know you have really put thought into and know about the company and role. Never walk away from the "table" without asking at least 1-2 questions at the very least.

4 Learn from feedback

The fourth step is to learn from the feedback you receive after each interview. Whether you get the job offer or not, you should always ask for feedback from the interviewer or the recruiter on your performance. This will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and improve your analytical skills for future opportunities. For example, you might learn that you need to work on your speed, accuracy, or communication skills when answering analytical questions.

Become a feedback fiend and never be afraid to share your feedback about the interview when you send your thank you make it personal every time. It goes a long way than something generic.

The fifth step is to keep learning and developing your analytical skills. You can do this by taking online courses, reading books or blogs, watching videos, or joining communities related to your field of interest. You can also apply your skills to real-world problems or projects that interest you, and share your insights and solutions with others. This will help you stay updated, curious, and confident in your analytical abilities.

The sixth and final step is to show enthusiasm and interest in the role and the company. You can do this by asking relevant and insightful questions at the end of the interview, expressing your appreciation and excitement for the opportunity, and following up with a thank-you note. This will show the interviewer that you are not only skilled, but also passionate and motivated to join their team.

Always remember you too are actually interviewing the company to see if there is a fit. Understand and as questions about the culture, and how the company strives to create connection within the team. Do they offer retreats, morning huddles? Also, make sure what the company stands for is something that aligns with your personal and professional integrity. You can make a lot of money but if you are not fulfilled you will not put your all into the position. Make sure it is what you want to do.
