The hardest interview question a top Amazon recruiter asks—and how to answer it. (via CNBCMakeIt)
It's nearly impossible to anticipate all the questions you will be asked in a job interview. Though some questions typically remain the same across the board, such as "Tell me about yourself" and "Why do you want to work here?" employers will often throw in trickier prompts, designed to better assess your work style as well as your problem-solving skills, to narrow their candidate pool.
Even if you're applying for a job that isn't data-driven on the surface, having metrics that back up your skills, such as revenue numbers, manager feedback and customer traffic, will help you stand out in an interview. Before any interview you should reflect on your previous work experience and find moments throughout your career where you have leveraged data to achieve a goal, Cabeen recommends. "Find those numbers, write them down and make sure you come prepared to the meeting with that information if you really want to impress the interviewer," he says.
