Tell me about a time you used predictive analytics or an AI-enabled tool to deliver an insight. How did you check it was right?

Tell me about a time you had several deadlines in the same week. How did you manage it?

What would you do
Write an executive summary in two sentences, out loud, for a finding that on-time delivery dropped 3 percent in one region.
What they are checking: Whether they can lead with the point and impact, which is what executive memos need.
An operations manager disagrees with your conclusion and says the data doesn't match what they see on the floor. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they treat frontline knowledge as data and investigate rather than defending their analysis by default.
What would you want to understand first about a freight network that ships millions of packages?

About the work
How would you evaluate whether a carrier's rate increase and new surcharges are worth accepting?

What SQL would you write to find average transit time by carrier and region for the last 90 days?
What they are checking: Whether they can pull and aggregate shipment data on their own, since SQL is preferred for the role.
How would you forecast the cost impact of shifting some volume from one carrier to another?
What they are checking: Whether they can build a sensible model with clear assumptions to support a strategic decision.
How do you decide which chart or diagram best explains a finding?
What they are checking: Whether they pick visuals that make the answer obvious to busy leaders instead of decorating slides.
