Mistake #3: Talking only about tools, not insights. It's not about how many tools you know. If you can't explain how your work impacted the business, you'll lose points. Focus on how your analysis helped decision-making or solved a real problem.

Mistake #2: Saying "I'm not good with Excel". Even if you're stronger in Python or SQL, Excel is still a daily tool in many analyst roles. Instead: Mention your level and willingness to improve if needed.
