1st Interview in May

Wasn't sure if I had been too excited for this interview that I couldn't sleep last night. Heart was beating furiously and my stomach felt bloated. Seems like a bad sign before my interview. 

I scheduled at 1030am. Decided to stay home to get the call. And here goes the reflection time. 

At the start, I was asked to introduce myself, so I started off with my speech. 

Then, the interviewer asked me to give more details on my day to day work. I explained it by mentioning 3 main areas.

Improvement: I think I can do better on structuring my answer especially on the data analysis portion 
- e.g. Starting off with objective to reduce kpi, set strategies cancellation
- understand process and the different of cancellation (initiated) 
- general picture, drill down to areas that can work on (quick wins) 
- insights that help to in decision making, tests out some hypothesis. 
- estimate the impact of making the decision

Then, I was asked to provide an example of an achievement. I used the risk achievements. 

Improvement:  I should pick an example that are more related to product. 

Next, I was asked about my motivation of leaving the company and wanting to join wise. 

Improvement: on reason to why I wanna join

Lastly, on the questions, I forgot to ask whether the role is a new or replacement role. 

I think my chance of moving to next step is 50/50. Let's see in 1 or 2 days.

I should improve on the points above.
