In this workshop, we will be practicing open-ended interview questions about data visualization. We’ve identified 3 questions below which are commonly asked in interviews where data visualization is a requirement for the role. In breakout sessions with your peers, you’ll perform mock interviews in which each participant has the opportunity to practice their response to these questions. Gain practice, get feedback and learn from others by hearing their responses.

Interviews are conversations, and the aim of this practice is to improve how you deliver your answer. Come practice with fellow Nanodegree students and alumni, and get interviewing tips from Career Coach Angela.
