At Centene Corporation, we have large patient data sets to analyze. Tell me about a large data set you had to analyze and how you added value through your analysis.

"I was looking at year-over-year data and noticed a huge increase in claims for heart-related incidents in March and April. I did a bit of research on the demographics of the patients in the 45 and under category, and it was an unusually high number of women. I pulled in our community relations team, and they started asking more questions at community engagement events. The stress and anxiety levels of women in that age bracket were very high. After showing my leader this data, she worked with the leader of the community relations to provide more outreach and education to women in this group. Our efforts resulted in a smaller number of claims the following year."

"I currently watch our department budget like a hawk. I have to analyze financial data to make sure everything aligns. I enjoy this work- it is like putting puzzle pieces together so that all of our needs are met."

Openly discuss your experience analyzing and organizing large sets of information and describe how that positively impacted the business. If you don't have direct experience before your interview with Centene Corporation, make it clear to your interviewer that you are ready to train and take on this challenge if hired.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
