    Show Your Data Skills Before the Interview

    This is a competitive graduate program, and the screening will test your technical competencies. You need to prove you can handle real data work from day one.

    1. Build a portfolio: Put together 2-3 projects that show your data analytics skills. Use public datasets and present your findings clearly. This gives you concrete proof to talk about.

    2. Master the basics: Be ready to answer questions on SQL, Excel, and Python or R. Practice writing queries and cleaning messy data. Interviewers will probe your hands-on ability.

    3. Know the government context: Understand how data is used in public sector projects. Read up on Kenya's digital economy agenda and how data drives decisions. This shows you're not just technical but also aware of the mission.

    4. Prepare for competency questions: Expect questions about teamwork, problem-solving, and handling pressure. Use the STAR method to structure your answers with real examples from your studies or projects.

    5. Polish your CV: Highlight your degree classification, relevant coursework, and any data-related projects. Keep it to one page and tailor it to the role. Make sure your contact details are correct.

    6. Practice with tools: If you have access, practice with data visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI. Even basic dashboards can impress. Show you can communicate insights visually.

    7. Research the program: Learn about the ICT Authority's goals and past intern projects. Mentioning specific initiatives in the interview shows genuine interest. It also helps you ask smart questions.

    8. Be ready for a technical test: Some candidates may be asked to complete a task on the spot. Practice solving problems under time pressure. Stay calm and walk through your logic clearly.
