How do you explain technical concepts to a non-technical audience?
What they’re really asking : How are your communication skills?
While drawing insights from data is a critical skill for a data analyst, communicating those insights to stakeholders, management, and non-technical co-workers is just as important.
Your answer should include the types of audiences you’ve presented to in the past (size, background, context). If you don’t have a lot of experience presenting, you can still talk about how you’d present data findings differently depending on the audience.
An interviewer might also ask :
* What is your experience conducting presentations?
* Why are communication skills important to a data analyst?
* How do you present your findings to management?
