Explain When You Had to Present Complicated Information

This is believed to be one of the behavioral interview queries: Describe a time you had to present complicated information in a simplified way.

Behavioral interview queries don’t always have exciting answers. Sometimes you generally require telling a story that demonstrates you’ve some idea what the employer is talking about. The aim is to impress the interviewer, but when you draw upon specific experiences, sometimes there are no interesting experiences to share. How you presented complicated information is often one of these stories.

Tips to Answer:

The story itself is not essentially the way interviewers will learn about your simplification skills. The way you describe the story is. Initiate by sharing the complex information – and try to make it sound complex. Then, begin explaining how you simplified it or presented it, and make it sound simple.

Bad Answer:

“I presented a presentation once to a bunch of business professionals on our products, and they all appeared to understand the content of what I was sharing.”

Good Answer:

“My company put me in charge of detailing the version 1.65 interface improvements and changes to the ICSMBSE server to a group of visiting project managers with little experience dealing with IMTU databases. I gave packets with charts and graphs to complement my presentation, and focus mostly on the how the product would be a beneficial solution to their requirements while breaking down how the components worked at their more basic level rather than the intricate changes in technology”

You initiate by concentrating on what was difficult, and end with the basics of how you simplified and presented the information. This indicates the employer that you understand when something is technical, and you’ve an idea of how to simplify information for non-technical audiences.
