QUESTION 21 OF 25
Do you have any experience working with data?
With advances in computing technology, accountants can now take large amounts of data and analyze it. Speak to a specific example where you utilized big data to solve a problem or complete a task.
"At my internship last summer, I helped the staff accountant responsible for inventory estimate obsolescence for several months. To do this, we exported over 10,000 lines of data each month, sorted and created pivot tables so that we could break down sales by type. This allowed us to book a more precise estimate than if we didn't have access to the data. I was also exposed to data visualization software in college, and I would love to continue to hone my skills in that space."
