9 Lessons About Learning How to Learn

Recently I’ve been spending a lot of time reading Medium articles. I came across this one named “8 Timeless Skills to Learn Now in Under 8 Hours to Change your Life Forever”. The very first skill is learning how to learn, and it struck me that I never learn that anywhere.

  • Preface: Reinvent a retailer’s data & analytics interviewing process (this post)
  • Data science interviews: What we screen for? What we will not?
  • Data science interviews: Grading rubrics (coming soon)

My curiosity got the better of me (and I have some time to kill on the planes), so I set out to answer the following questions to get to know Victoria better.
