How do I prepare for a data science interview?

Answer»

Some of the preparation tips for data SCIENCE interviews are as follows:

  • Resume Building: Firstly, prepare your resume well. It is preferable if the resume is only a 1-page resume, especially for a fresher. You should give great thought to the format of the resume as it matters a lot. The data science interviews can be based more on the topics like linear and logistic regression, SVM, root cause analysis, random forest, etc. So, prepare well for the data science-specific questions like those discussed in this article, make sure your resume has a mention of such important topics and you have a good knowledge of them. Also, please make sure that your resume contains some Data Science-based Projects as well. It is always better to have a group project or internship experience in the field that you are interested to go for. However, personal projects will also have a good impact on the resume. So, your resume should contain at least 2-3 data science-based projects that show your skill and knowledge LEVEL in data science. Please do not write any such skill in your resume that you do not possess. If you are just familiar with some technology and have not STUDIED it at an advanced level, you can mention a beginner tag for those skills.
  • Prepare Well: APART from the specific questions on data science, questions on Core subjects like Database Management systems (DBMS), OPERATING Systems (OS), Computer Networks(CN), and Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS) can be asked from the freshers especially. So, prepare well for that as well.
  • Data structures and Algorithms are the basic building blocks of programming. So, you should be well versed with that as well.
  • Research the Company: This is the tip that most people miss and it is very important. If you are going for an interview with any company, read about the company before and especially in the case of data science, learn which libraries the company uses, what kind of models are they building, and so on. This gives you an edge over most other people.
