Have you worked in an industry similar to ours?

This is a pretty straightforward question, aiming to assess if you have industry-specific skills and experience. Even if you don’t, make sure you’ve prepared an answer in advance where you explain how you can apply your background skills from a different field to the benefit of the company.

Example
“As a data analyst with financial background, I can say there are a few similarities between this industry and healthcare. I think the most prominent one is data security. Both industries utilize highly sensitive personal data that must be kept secure and confidential. This leads to 2 things: more restricted access to data, and, consequently, more time to complete its analysis. This has taught me to be more time efficient when it comes to passing through all the security. Moreover, I learned how important it is to clearly state the reasons behind requiring certain data for my analysis.”
