QUESTION 19 OF 30

Walk me through how you prepare technical and research reports and communicate the results to individuals in industry, government, or the general public.

The interviewer is asking you to walk them through your process of preparing research to present it to a crowd. The interviewer is asking you this question to evaluate your organization and presentation skills.

"When preparing reports I put together an outline of my research. An outline allows me to fill in the blanks as I research and determine what the outcomes are. I use this outline to help me stay on track. I also use this same outline to give my presentation."

Anonymous Answer

I first outline the research report and find resources to support the report. The outline also helps me stay on track. I then set up deadlines to make sure the report is reviewed by my leads before it's presented to the public. In the end, I make sure the report is reviewed and put together in an easy-to-read and understandable format.

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! It sounds like you have a good process in place for preparing and presenting this type of report. Just make sure to be detailed as you explain this process to the interviewer. For example, what kinds of formats might you publish the report in? What program do you use to outline the report? What kinds of resources do you utilize to support your research? Why is it important that you have others review the report before it's presented to the public? The more details, the better!
