Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This interview was for Data analyst role at Reliance Retail. First , I had online aptitude test-50 questions 12 minutes. You need to at least solve 20 correctly. Post this I had online technical interview which lasted for about 40minutes. Initially the interviewer asked me about few accomplishments from my previous employment which had impacted business. I took him through few major projects that I worked and how these impacted business. I made sure to keep everything aligned to data analyst role. I spoke about what Data visualization tools (Domo/tableau) and languages(SQL) I had used previously to analyze data. He had follow up questions and I again made sure to explain clearly by highlighting my role. Next , there was one scenario based question asked.
Q: There are a couple of reliance stores that are bleeding(doing really bad) in one region. You have all the necessary data related to these stores. What would be those factors that you will consider first ? What will you do to ensure these stores do well.
Since I had retail background it was easier for me to understand the scenario based question. The interviewer wanted to understand how I would approach the problem.
Last, I had few questions to the interviewer based on the role.
On the same day I received call from HR saying that I have cleared the interview and offered the role.
