Clarify status, education, and multi-role strategy
Overview
This question evaluates a candidate's ability to document and communicate U.S. work authorization details, resolve resume inconsistencies, articulate multi-level role positioning, and demonstrate minicase availability and preparation—assessing attention to detail, clarity of communication, stakeholder coordination, and practical readiness for data-science interviews. Commonly asked in Behavioral & Leadership screens for Data Scientist roles to verify eligibility, alignment with role expectations, and logistical readiness, it tests both conceptual understanding of career-leveling and contingency planning and practical application of documentation, messaging, and time-management.
HR Screen: Candidate Information and Minicase Readiness (Data Scientist)
1) U.S. Work Authorization
Provide your current employment/visa status and work authorization in the U.S. Include:
- Exact status (e.g., F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, H‑1B cap-subject or cap-exempt, EAD category, green card, citizen).
- Key dates: current authorization end date, grace periods, any pending petitions (receipt/approval dates).
- Portability/transfer limits (e.g., H‑1B portability, employer-specific limits, cap season dependencies).
- Any start-date constraints and a clear contingency plan if start must move up by 30 days.
2) Education and Resume Consistency
- Highest completed degree, granting institution, and month/year awarded.
- Your resume appears to list your undergraduate major under your master’s entry—explain the discrepancy, state the correct entries for each degree, and how you will rectify this across ATS, LinkedIn, and resume versions.
3) Multiple Levels Applied (Same Job Family)
You applied to Manager, Senior Manager, and Senior Business Analyst in the same job family. Given a shared scoring rubric with post‑interview leveling:
- Explain how you will tailor impact narratives for each level (scope, decision rights, team size, and $ impact).
- State your minimum acceptable level if your performance is borderline.
- Describe how you will avoid conflicts across requisitions (e.g., consistent data, tailored emphasis, recruiter coordination).
4) Minicase Availability and Prep Plan
- Provide three 60‑minute windows you can attend a minicase this month (include time zone).
- State your required prep time.
- Explain how you would prepare in 48 hours (materials, frameworks, data you’d request).
