QUESTION 14 OF 25

Have you ever been in a data disaster recovery situation? If so, describe the situation and your role.

Beyond the completion of daily assignments, hiring managers are looking for Data Engineers who can quickly contribute to the remediation of emergency situations. When a data infrastructure fails and/or data becomes inaccessible, lost or destroyed, it can have damaging effects on the company's operations. Companies want to ensure that they are ready with the right resources to deal with these unfortunate events if they occur. In many cases, it becomes an 'all hands on deck' circumstance.

"In my most recent position, I was part of the group charged with developing a Disaster Recovery Plan. Therefore, I was familiar with what needed to take place when a data disaster recovery situation actually occurred. A corrupt file was somehow loaded into our system and caused databases to lock up and much of the data to become corrupted as well. I was responsible for working with our IT team to ensure that our data backups were ready to be loaded and that users throughout the company continued to have connectivity to the data they needed."
