My top tips to smash your next data science behavioural interview

As a data scientist, you most likely don’t enjoy behavioural interviews. Most of our job is coding and doing analysis, so you probably think, what’s the point. However, working well in a team is an important skill, and employers know this.
That’s why in this article, I want to breakdown my top tips for smashing your next behavioural!
Always Prepare
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
This is an ancient saying, but it is also very true. My main tip is to always prepare, and this goes for anything in the working world. Prepare for your day, meeting, and especially your interview.
The time you should take will vary per person, but I spend at least 4 to 5 hours on behavioural interviews. This may sound like a lot, but it’s always better to be over-prepared.
