Every year, thousands of students and job seekers study hard for data analytics roles —
yet still fail at interviews.
Why?
Because they unknowingly fall into common traps:
- Random, unfocused learning ("learning everything" instead of the right things).
- Memorizing without understanding, so they crumble when faced with case questions.
- Weak application skills — knowing formulas but not how to use them in real-world scenarios.
- Unstructured answers that confuse interviewers instead of impressing them.
- Poor mock preparation, leading to panic and blanking out during real interviews.
- Crippling stress and self-doubt even after knowing the material.
It’s not a knowledge problem. It’s a preparation system problem.
