Your interviewer is looking to get a sense of the analytical and problem-solving skills you've developed in past roles and how you would apply these skills to a new role at Standard Bank. In your answer, focus on describing your attention to detail and your sharp focus on data and statistics. Include an example that demonstrates your thought process when drawing conclusions from information. Give as much insight into your process as you can to show you can take an analytical approach to problem-solving.
Ensure that the skills you point to are in line with the position description. If the PD calls for software or program-specific knowledge to perform analyses, be sure to include your experience with those specific resources in your answer. If not, emphasize how you've developed analytical soft skills that allow you to solve problems effectively.

"I worked for a financial advisory firm last year and had a client who was looking for investment recommendations. I gathered data on the stocks they were interested in, sorting through trends and historical data to determine the most promising returns. Using in-house software, I plugged in variables related to the client's age, target retirement, and risk tolerance, among others. I shared the various possible outcomes with my client, which allowed me to make a well-informed recommendation about the best stock options to meet his financial goals."
