QUESTION 13 OF 40

What scripting language have you used in your past projects as a data analyst? Which are you most confident using?

The interviewer will ask this question to determine if the scripting languages you use are similar to those used by Morningstar's data analytics organization. This will indicate that you can be onboarded quickly and come up to speed with their processes and procedures rapidly. The sooner you contribute to Morningstar's objectives, the more valuable you are as an employee. This will set you apart from other candidates.

"I have primarily used SQL in my projects as a data analyst and am the most comfortable with it. I have had experience executing some basic Python commands and have made it my goal to receive additional training for it. I have found that my extensive SQL experience has helped me learn Python more easily."

Companies like Morningstar work with multiple scripting languages, so knowing more than one is an asset. If you do not have extensive experience programming with the main language used by the company, highlight your eagerness to learn or strengthen your skills with new scripting languages. Many find that, at a general level, their experience with one scripting language helps them learn new ones.
