Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am a highly organized, diligent and professional Research Analyst who can be relied upon to produce consistently outstanding results for my employer. Whilst I enjoy working as part of a team, I am just as comfortable working alone, researching information, analysing data and producing results that help my employer achieve their commercial and financial objectives. Over the years, I have been careful to focus on my own professional development, and I now have a diverse set of skills and qualities that ensure I always achieve my goals and objectives. I have strong communication and interpersonal skills; I am highly competent with numbers and I have experience in using various data modelling techniques that can be used to achieve specific outcomes. If you hire me as your Research Analyst, I feel fully confident I will get up and running in the position quickly, and I will always ensure I work with both you and my team to produce consistently positive results.”
Q2. Why do you want to be a Research Analyst?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to be a Research Analyst because the role is a match for my own natural skills and qualities, and the work is something I am very passionate about. As a Research Analyst, there is a requirement to work under pressure, and the results you produce must be accurate if your employer is to achieve their goals. I find the requirement to work under pressure as a Research Analyst exciting. It feels good to be continually moving forward in your role and to be achieving great things whilst working with other like-minded professionals. Finally, as a Research Analyst you are always working on different projects and tasks. It is important to use effective communication and interpersonal skills to persuade others to see your point of view, and to also explain how the information you have extrapolated can be used to great effect within the company.”

RESEARCH ANALYST JOB INTERVIEW TIPS – HOW TO PASS A RESEARCH ANALYST INTERVIEW!
If you are applying to become a Research Analyst with any organization from across the globe, the following job interview tips will help you to be successful.
RESEARCH ANALYST INTERVIEW TIP #1
One of the most important things to do when preparing for a research analyst job interview is to prepare for basic interview questions such as tell me about yourself, why do you want to become a research analyst, where do you see yourself in five year, and what are your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure your answers to these guaranteed interview questions are positive, confident and decisive.
RESEARCH ANALYST INTERVIEW TIP #2
The second important thing to do is carry out some research into the organization you are hoping to work for as a research analyst. Be prepared for the interview question: Why do you want to work for us? We recommend you study their website, their history of achievement and any latest news stories, which can usually be found on their LinkedIn page.
RESEARCH ANALYST INTERVIEW TIP #3
There will be a number of behavioural interview questions asked during your Research Analyst interview. When answering these questions, use the STAR technique to structure your responses. Using the STAR method involves talking about the situation you were in, the task that needed to be done, the action that you took, and the results of your actions.
RESEARCH ANALYST INTERVIEW TIP #4
At the end of your Research Analyst, you will have the opportunity to ask a number of questions of your own. Here’s three clever questions to ask the interviewer/hiring manager to create the right impression:
- If I am successful, what would be the first thing you would want me to focus on as your Research Analyst?
- What are your plans for the company over the next five to ten years and how can I help you to achieve these?
- What has been your biggest frustration with previous Research Analysts who have previously worked within your organization?
