Building a Support System: How Priya from RV College of Engineering Reduced Anxiety by Leaning on Peers 

Early Setbacks: Priya’s Struggles with Understanding Business Impact

Despite being highly skilled in technical analysis, Priya faced significant challenges during her early job interviews. Her proficiency in coding, data modeling, and statistics impressed interviewers initially, but when asked to explain how her technical work could drive business decisions or improve operations, she faltered.

One notable setback occurred during an interview for a logistics company. Priya was asked how her predictive model could help optimize the company’s supply chain efficiency. While she was able to explain the technical aspects of her model in detail, she struggled to convey its business relevance—how it could actually reduce costs, improve delivery times, or enhance operational efficiency. This inability to link her technical analysis to real-world business outcomes led to missed opportunities.

The Solution: Learning the Business Context of Data Analysis

To overcome these setbacks, Priya realized she needed to focus not just on the technical side but also on the business implications of her work. She took a more holistic approach, learning how to frame her technical skills within the context of the business challenges companies face.

Here is the line graph showing Priya's improvements over time, highlighting her progress from struggling with business context in interviews to confidently connecting her technical analysis to business outcomes

Example: Building a Support System – How Priya Reduced Anxiety by Leaning on Peers

One of Priya’s key breakthroughs came when she began working closely with her peers. Together, they practiced explaining the business implications of their technical projects. Priya found that discussing these concepts with others helped her reduce anxiety and build confidence in interviews.

For example, in a practice session with a peer, Priya was able to explain how her predictive analysis could help a logistics company reduce delivery times by optimizing routes. This practice not only helped her improve her interview performance but also reduced her anxiety by leaning on the support of her peer network.

Focus Point: Building a support system allowed Priya to practice and gain confidence, enabling her to clearly explain the business relevance of her technical work in job interviews.
