What programming languages do you have experience using? Of these, which do you have the most experience with? Which do you have the least experience with?
"While Python is my favorite programing language to work with, I'm also skilled in R, Java, SQL, C, Tableau and most of the other popular languages. While each of these has its merits, Python offers the most flexibility, is easy to learn and understand, and is popular among the data science community. Another language that is becoming ubiquitous in the field is RapidMiner. I've recently learned this and I'm starting to use it more due to its robust features."
This is another technical question geared toward determining your hard skills and qualifications for the data scientist position. This is relatively easy to answer since you need these skills and experience to work in this industry. Your answer should be honest, straightforward, and brief. This 'Tick the Box' question is required, but likely won't differentiate you from other candidates.
"I'm experienced in the majority of the major programming languages including Python, R, Java SQL, C, and Scala. Of these, I prefer Python due to its applicability to a wide variety of tasks and its general acceptance in the data science community. I also like the fact that it is an open-source language and the syntax is easy to understand."
