QUESTION 18 OF 33

When have you had to be extra thorough in completing tasks?

Many of the solutions Huron Consulting Group delivers rely on getting the details right and perhaps more importantly, instructing their clients on how to get the details right in the future. Your role in this is especially important in the event you will be working to develop solutions, analyze data, or resolve customer support requests. If possible, describe your ability to be thorough using an example that applies directly to a core requirement of the job you're interviewing for.

"I have to be extra thorough from time to time when I have clients that are especially detail-oriented. Often this will mean spending additional time on calls with them to highlight project changes. I am absolutely okay with being extra thorough when needed."

"As a data scientist, attention to detail is critical. When I think I notice a trend, I take the time to step through the data from several perspectives to make sure that the conclusions I'm drawing make sense holistically. It can take time to look at the details and apply various methods to weed out the unnecessary or rogue data points, but I know how critical it is to get that piece right.

I also make sure I allow extra time to explain my methods in this area when working with my clients. The solutions I develop are the most effective when the people who support them after I leave fully understand what they're working with and how it was constructed."
