  • Classification: Data Analyst
  • Topic(s): Data Analysis Role
Interview Question:

Can you describe your experience with SQL and provide an example of a query you have written?

Candidate's Answer:

Sql used

AI Evaluation:

Your response, "sql used," is not sufficient or appropriate for the interview question about your experience with SQL. It lacks detail and does not adequately demonstrate your proficiency or provide insight into your practical experience. A strong answer should highlight specific skills, tools, or projects you've worked on, and ideally, include a concrete example of a SQL query you've written.

To improve your answer, consider the following structure:

1. Experience Overview: Briefly state your experience level with SQL, including any relevant roles or projects.
2. Specific Skills or Tools: Mention databases you've worked with (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server) and any specific functionalities you are familiar with (e.g., joins, subqueries, data manipulation).
3. Example Query: Present a specific SQL query you have written, including its purpose and what it accomplished.

For instance: "I have over two years of experience using SQL primarily with MySQL and PostgreSQL. In my previous role as a data analyst, I often used SQL to extract, manipulate, and analyze data. One example of a query I wrote was:

```sql
SELECT customer_id, COUNT(order_id) as total_orders
FROM orders
WHERE order_date >= '2022-01-01'
GROUP BY customer_id
HAVING COUNT(order_id) > 5;
```

This query helped identify customers who placed more than five orders in the last year, allowing the marketing team to target them for a loyalty campaign."

By following this structure, you convey your experience more effectively and showcase your SQL skills.
