In this blog posrt, we are covering another type of interview that an aspiring data scientist has to learn to crack: the statistics interview. A statistics interview is a technical interview that evaluates your ability to actually do your job as a data scientist. If you do not ace this interview, you will have a hard time convincing a company that you are a capable data scientist.

The first step to acing any interview is knowing what to expect. Statistics is a broad subject, so this post will break down what areas of statistics a data scientist is expected to know for interviews and what types of questions will be asked. We will also discuss tips and general advice throughout.

I also have a video on this subject if you would prefer to get the information that way!

Let’s start with what areas of statistical knowledge a statistics interview will cover.
