Common questions
Data Analysts — asked before hiring
Is this a data engineering role?
No. This is business reporting and analysis support for dashboards, spreadsheets, KPI packs, and trend summaries, not database architecture or pipeline development.
Can they work with messy data?
Yes, if the data is accessible and the cleanup rules can be defined. They can standardise fields, reconcile spreadsheets, flag gaps, and document assumptions so reports are easier to trust.
Will they tell us what the numbers mean?
Yes, within the limits of the data and business context you provide. A good analyst explains movement in plain language, calls out uncertainty, and avoids pretending a dashboard can answer every strategic question.
