To describe your technical skills in an interview, provide detailed examples of times you’ve used them to achieve results and solve problems. For instance:
‘When I was working at a financial firm, we started experiencing issues with our reporting system. The reports were taking a long time to run and were often filled with errors that had to be manually resolved, causing delays for our clients.
I analysed the code for the reporting system and found that there were a number of inefficiencies and outdated functions being used. I then worked with the team to update the code, including optimising queries and introducing new libraries that could handle large datasets more efficiently.
After implementing these changes, we significantly improved the system’s speed and reliability, saving time for our clients and increasing our overall efficiency as a company.’
