When presenting to the client there are a few things that you should remember:
They may not all be familiar with data, so you need to make sure you talk to them in business-friendly language.
You want to show them that you’ve understood their business and requirements, so use their terminology and language relevant to the task.
This is your time to shine and to show them how great you are! Try to present your work with confidence and conviction, if you don’t feel confident talking about your results then it’s a good indication that you don’t understand them fully or may need to revisit the dataset! Speaking about your results should feel natural when you explain what you’ve done.
A good presentation always takes a lot of preparation. The more you practice presenting your content, the more confident you will be when the time comes. Practice with your housemates, friends, family, anyone that is free! Ask for feedback and keep improving until you’re happy with your presentation and you’re confident in presenting your content.
Accenture North America Data Analytics and Visualization Job Simulation on Forage - March 2024
- Completed a simulation focused on advising a hypothetical social media client as a Data Analyst at Accenture
- Cleaned, modelled and analyzed 7 datasets to uncover insights into content trends to inform strategic decisions
- Prepared a PowerPoint deck and video presentation to communicate key insights for the client and internal stakeholders
“Why are you interested in this role?”
I recently participated in Accenture’s Data Analytics & Visualization job simulation on the Forage platform, and it was incredibly useful to understand what it might be like to participate in a typical project team at Accenture, and to use Excel and data analytics and visualization skills in a realistic context. Through this program I realized that I really enjoy cleaning, modelling and analyzing client data, creating slides to communicate findings and presenting insights back to the client. I would love to apply what I've learned in a diverse project team at a company like Accenture.
