1 Know the basics

Before you go to any BI interview, make sure you have a solid grasp of the basic concepts and tools of BI. This includes data warehousing, data modeling, data quality, data visualization, and BI software such as Tableau, Power BI, or Qlik. You should also be familiar with SQL and other programming languages that are relevant to BI, such as Python or R. Review your resume and portfolio and be ready to explain the projects and tasks you have done or contributed to in BI.

In a BI interview, if your critical thinking skills are tested, it's important to stay calm and analytical. Demonstrate your thought process clearly and logically. Break down the problem into smaller parts, assess the data available, consider different perspectives, and discuss potential solutions. Use examples from past experiences to illustrate how you've applied critical thinking in real-world scenarios. Remember, the interviewer is interested in your approach to problem-solving as much as the solution itself.

In this situation, it's important to approach the situation calmly and methodically. Make sure you understand the problem or question being posed to you. Ask for any clarification if needed. Break down the problem into its component parts and analyze each part individually. Think about the problem from multiple angles. Consider how different stakeholders might view the issue and what their priorities or concerns might be. Finally, make sure you communicate your thoughts and ideas clearly and concisely.

Além da quest?o técnica ainda mais importante é saber para o que estamos trabalhando e com qual objetivo, simplesmente levar qualquer dado ao Bi n?o traz resultado. E a pergunta é justamente essa, qual resultado queremos? O que queremos identificar? Para que? E simular respostas e se temos a??o em cima do possível numero que possa aparecer. “Se o resultado for bom, faremos o que? E se for ruim, faremos o que?” Muitas vezes levantamos e criamos Dashboards que nao tem real motivo e nem a??o com o output.

2 Understand the scenario

Many BI interview questions are based on hypothetical or real-world scenarios that require you to apply your critical thinking skills to a specific problem or situation. For example, you might be asked to design a dashboard for a sales team, analyze customer behavior data, or optimize a marketing campaign. To answer these questions effectively, you need to understand the scenario and the goal of the question. Ask clarifying questions if you are not sure about the context, the data sources, the assumptions, or the expectations of the interviewer.

3 Show your process

One of the most important aspects of critical thinking is the ability to follow a logical and systematic process to solve problems and generate insights. When you are faced with a BI interview question, don't just jump to the answer or the solution. Instead, show your process and explain how you would approach the problem, what steps you would take, what tools and methods you would use, and what challenges or risks you would anticipate. This will demonstrate your analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as your attention to detail and quality.

In the BI world, it's not just about having the right answer, it's about how you got there. The journey matters as much as the destination. The process you follow to solve a problem or generate insights is a testament to your analytical prowess and critical thinking skills. It's like a chef explaining their recipe - it's not just about the final dish, but the ingredients, the method, and the love put into it. So, when faced with a BI interview question, take your time and walk them through your thought process. It's your secret sauce! ??????

Dont be in a rush to prove yourself especially in BI interviews. Take your time and understand the problem statement. Most of the time the questions are tricky with no visibility. Look for similar cases or talk to experts before structuring the solutions. Explain the process to the interviewer. Experts who are interviewing are not looking for another expert who has a ready answer, but they are looking for resources who can think, who can implement, and who can effectively use the information to convert them into actionable insights.

4 Use examples and evidence

Another key element of critical thinking is the ability to use examples and evidence to support your claims and conclusions. When you are presenting your findings or recommendations in a BI interview, don't just state your opinion or assumption. Instead, use data, facts, figures, charts, or graphs to back up your statements and show how you arrived at them. This will demonstrate your data literacy and communication skills, as well as your ability to provide actionable and relevant insights.

5 Be honest and humble

Finally, remember that critical thinking also involves being honest and humble about your limitations and gaps in your knowledge or skills. If you don't know the answer to a question, don't try to bluff or guess. Instead, admit that you don't know and explain how you would find out or learn more. If you make a mistake or encounter a difficulty, don't try to hide or ignore it. Instead, acknowledge it and explain how you would correct it or overcome it. This will demonstrate your integrity and willingness to learn and improve.

Muitas vezes nossas intui??es também devem ser consideradas e é muito importante termos a maturidade de conseguirmos expressar las através de exemplos concretos ou metáforas. Além de que muitas vezes o Bi também pode nos induzir por um caminho na qual algum aspecto pode n?o ter sido considerado e é importante ser honesto e admitir possíveis mudan?as de rota inesperadas.
