How to demonstrate it
SQL, Power BI and reporting-platform capability Describe the scale and complexity of data you worked with, the SQL logic and transformation approach you used, how you structured data for reporting, and how you checked accuracy and performance.
Complex ICT process and service analysis Use an example from a large service organisation where you reviewed current workflows, information needs and system constraints, then helped improve business performance.
Requirements detailed enough for design and build Show how you elicited, documented and validated business and technical requirements, including workflow,



data collection, application functionality and acceptance expectations.
Testing, delivery quality and project-risk management Explain how you tested or maintained a service-management system, tracked risks and dependencies, and delivered an outcome on time without lowering data or reporting quality.

The vacancy also asks for at least two years of Developer / Business Analyst experience, with health‐sector experience preferred. Make the duration, setting and technical scope visible in your resume instead of leaving the panel to infer them.

Responses to target questions
Each answer needs a specific example with enough detail to show your own technical decisions. Use the question as the heading, explain the context briefly, then spend most of the space on your method, judgement, problem solving and result.
Target Question
What a strong response would include
Can you provide a past example of when you had to develop a complex SQL data extraction program, what transformation techniques did you use, and how was the data collection structured to work best with Power BI Reports. Can you explain the challenges you encountered and how you solved them. Explain the business need, data sources and scale before describing the SQL extraction logic. Name the transformation techniques, data model or structure used for Power BI, validation checks, performance issues and the specific steps you took to solve technical challenges. Finish with the reporting or service outcome.
Can you provide a past example of when you had to prepare detailed specification documentation which describes business workflow, data collection, and application functionality to facilitate the development of performance reports. Describe how you elicited information, mapped the workflow and documented data collection and application behaviour. Show how you validated the specification with business and technical stakeholders, managed ambiguity or change, and enabled the reporting team to design, build or test the right product.
What the panel will want to see in your examples
Enough SQL and data-transformation detail to prove you completed the technical work
A transparent explanation of how the data structure supported usable Power BI reporting
Specification documents that connected workflow, data and application functionality
