Just received the call to inform me that I've been hired as a Payroll Data Analyst. Your video provided me with the confidence I needed. I was determined and ready to answer all questions and followed thru with the answers you provided. I had not interviewed for a position in over 15 years. Thanks again!

[MichiUy]

I got the job! And it was the longest 30 minutes of my life! Whew! Thank you!

[kalmkrew]

Btw I just want to tell you thanks because I've used your videos to help with an interview and I'm now The Workforce & Projects Officer at my company! Data Analystics is really what I want to do though but it's still a level up

[rachelwu]

After I watched your videos (mainly to gain confidence), I further understood job descriptions, checked employer websites, downloaded factsheets/reports of projects and prepared for potential questions, I’m now at the stage of pre-employment check.
Thank you👍🏻

[blacknectar]

I just accepted a job offer. Thank you for the interview tips! Money and time well spent!

[katarinaoldakowski]

Excellent content, as always!

[jonathanbomb]

such a beautiful video i ever watched i believe that this video has helped me to attain my passionate job. Talking about me i am a beginner in data analyst field and lastly i worked in a banking industry as completely different field but i have a courage to switch the job to data analyst so that's the reason i quit my job and i stared to learn some new skills like python, sql, excel, tableau and power bi. Now its around 5 months i started applying some jobs and i getting some positive response from requites however i believe that i can place a company in after 2 months and finally thank you for your wonderful video.

[hafiznaim]

I have an interview for data analyst tomorrow, currently taking note on this

[georgefarah]

In any question it is preferable to give a practical example from your life
Like the question of working under pressure, it is a very famous question, and the answer you asked is not the correct one.
The correct thing is to give an example of work that he accomplished under pressure and to prove his work with the necessary numbers.
Thank you for your generosity

[anikaanjum]

How do you suggest breaking all of this down to make it sound good? Can I use one response or would I have to use all three?
