Carefully interpreting financial data and ensuring its validity will be the heart of what you do as an analyst at Barclay's. Bad data in the financial industry can have a costly impact, and your job will be to ensure that doesn't happen. To answer this question, discuss the importance of data validation and your method for data screening and verification as part of the validation process. Include any programs that you have experience working with during the validation process.

"With any large analysis project that involves data validation, my first step is to create a detailed plan that defines the data to be validated and outlines the remaining steps. Next, I validate the information in the database and format the data. Finally, I'll take a small sample to make sure it meets the requirements of the project. I consider myself proficient in QuerySurge and Datameer but remain open to learning new programs here at Barclays. If given the opportunity, I'm excited to further hone my data validation skills by learning from the best in the LF industry."
