Q2. What are the most important skills needed to become a Risk Analyst and why?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“There are 7 very important skills and qualities needed in Risk Analysis in order to be effective. You must possess STRONG ANALYTICAL AND PATIENCE SKILLS. These are needed because, in order to think strategically, and meet the objectives of your employer, you must dive deep and take the time to look at trends and data over a prolonged period of time. You need to be an exceptional PLANNER AND ORGANIZER. These skills are imperative because if you fail to plan ahead and stay on top of your work, you will fall behind, you will make mistakes and you will provide incorrect reports and assessments of risk, which is unacceptable. You need to be a good PROBLEM-SOLVER. This can only be achieved by remaining calm, taking a holistic approach to problems and always remembering the importance of thinking strategically. Other skills and qualities include being able to INTERPRET DATA AND INFORMATION and then presenting it in an EASY TO UNDERSTAND MANNER to team members and senior managers or directors. Risk Analysts must communicate clearly, concisely and effectively which will in turn enable the organization to make effective decisions. Finally, you must be a STRONG TEAMWORKER and also be FINANCIALLY AND COMMERCIALLY AWARE.”

- Work alongside other organizational team members to make effective decisions that are in the best interests of the client or the organization;
- Create and develop systems for effective storage and extrapolation of data and information;
- Have a deep understanding of the financial risk analysis process and how it can be used to minimize risk and assess emerging trends;

4 TIPS FOR PASSING A RISK ANALYST JOB INTERVIEW
The following important four tips will be useful in enabling you to not only prepare for your Risk Analyst interview, but to also pass it. Each of the tips have been carefully researched and are created with the hiring manager in mind, and in particular what they look for from prospective candidates.
INTERVIEW TIP #1 – There will be three different type of interview questions asked during your Risk Analyst job interview. Motivational, Research and Behavioral. Motivational interview questions include, introduce yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses, and where do you see yourself in five years?
Research-based questions will include, why do want to work for us, and finally, behavioural interview questions include, when have you worked on a difficult project and tell me a time when you had to adapt or change your approach to a project?
Make sure you prepare for all of the interview questions listed on this page as these are the ones that are more commonly asked during Risk Analyst interviews.
INTERVIEW TIP #2 – It is essential you conduct lots of research into the company you are applying for before you attend the interview. Take the time to look at the latest news stories on their LinkedIn page, and also find out what their values are, their mission statement is and what their likely future plans are. By carrying out lots of pre-interview research, you will have plenty of things to talk about during your Risk Analyst interview.
INTERVIEW TIP #3 – The most effective way to answer behavioural type Risk Analyst job interview questions is to format your responses using the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action and Result. By following this method, your answers will be concise, logically structured and based on specific evidence.
INTERVIEW TIP #4 – Have at least two or three questions to ask at the end of your Risk Analyst interview. Ask the interviewer what has frustrated them in particular about Risk Analyst’s that have worked their previously, and also talk about their future plans and where they see the organization progressing over the next five to ten years.
