Invisible disability in the workplace 

Individuals with a disability may have the perception that few people around them are experiencing similar challenges. This is often due to the nature of invisible disabilities, which are not immediately apparent. 

Data suggests, however, that this perception may not be entirely accurate. Surveys show that as many as one-third of white-collar workers identify as having some kind of disability, while only about 21% of workers with a disability have made an official disclosure. This gap can contribute to the feeling that disability is uncommon in professional settings, when in reality it is more widespread than many people realize. 

By normalizing the prevalence of disabilities in the workforce, it can become easier for individuals to disclose and receive appropriate accommodations that help them navigate the job search process more effectively. 

Whether to disclose 

Importantly, disclosure is not mandatory during the career search process. The decision largely comes down to an individual’s comfort level and personal preferences. Some people choose not to disclose if they feel the potential downsides outweigh the benefits. 

Others may believe they are able to manage their disability independently and do not need formal accommodations to succeed in the workplace. Both approaches are valid, and there is no single right choice. 

Barriers to disclosure 

Even though disability is more common than many expect, discomfort around disclosure is also common. Several factors contribute to this hesitation. 

One major concern is the fear that disclosing a disability will affect how someone is perceived by members of a hiring committee. Worries about bias are real and can lead individuals to pursue paths they believe are safer or that allow them to conceal their disability. 

Another challenge is uncertainty around timing. Many people are unsure when the “right” moment is to disclose. Some hesitate to raise the topic too early due to bias concerns, while others worry about waiting too long. In reality, there are multiple points in the process when disclosure can make sense, depending on an individual’s needs. 

When to disclose 

The timing of disclosure often depends on a person’s goals. Disclosing during the application or interview stage can allow for accommodations to be put in place in advance. 

Accommodations during interviews can take many forms. For example, a video interview may allow someone who is hard of hearing to better read lips, while an in-person interview may require confirming that the space is physically accessible for someone with a mobility-related disability. 

Some individuals also choose to disclose because it helps them feel more comfortable and authentic during the interview process. Having mutual understanding between interviewers and interviewees can reduce stress and make it easier to focus on the conversation. 

Disclosure can also happen after receiving a job offer or once employment has begun. At that point, individuals may have a clearer understanding of job expectations and what accommodations would be most helpful. 

For others, disclosure may increase discomfort, and they may prefer to keep that information private. Ultimately, this is a highly personal decision that should be guided by individual preferences and circumstances. 

How to disclose 

When deciding to disclose, there are several considerations that can help make the process feel more manageable. 

Simplify the explanation 

When talking about a disability, it often helps to keep the explanation fairly simple and focused on what actually matters in the moment. Disclosure does not require sharing a diagnosis or going into any medical details. Instead, many people find it more comfortable to explain how their disability shows up in interviews or work settings. 

Framing this around both limitations and strengths can help others understand your experience without shifting the focus away from your ability to do the job. For example, you might note that something like eye contact, processing speed, or sensory input looks a little different for you, while also emphasizing your engagement, preparation, or problem-solving skills. Keeping things straightforward can make the conversation feel less intimidating. 

Base the conversation on your needs 

Basing the disclosure conversation on your needs can help keep it practical rather than personal. Instead of focusing on the disability itself, it can be more effective to describe what helps you do your best work. This gives interviewers or employers something concrete to respond to and keeps the conversation moving forward. 

It can help to think about this ahead of time. Reflect on what has been useful for you in classes, research, internships, or past jobs. Those experiences can give you clues about what might be helpful in a new role, even if the setting is different. 

Approach the conversation with solutions 

When possible, going into a disclosure conversation with a few ideas in mind can make it feel more collaborative. Sharing accommodations or adjustments that have worked for you before can help clarify what you are asking for and why it matters. 

You do not need to have everything figured out, and it is okay if some problem-solving happens later. Even small suggestions can be helpful, and framing them as tools that support your ability to do strong work can reinforce that accommodations are about performance, not special treatment. 

Conclusion 

Disclosing a disability during a career search is not about following a prescribed formula, but about making an informed choice that aligns with your needs, goals, and comfort level. Whether you choose to disclose early, later, or not at all, the most important thing is that the decision is yours. When disclosure does make sense, approaching the conversation thoughtfully and focusing on what helps you succeed can turn it into a tool for advocacy rather than a source of stress. With the right preparation and support, disclosure can be one of many ways to create a career search process that works for you, not against you.

What is a technical interview? 

A data science technical interview assesses your ability to work with data and solve problems effectively.  

You’ll likely need to write code in Python or SQL for data cleaning, exploration, or querying databases. Expect to discuss machine learning concepts, explain when to use certain algorithms, or even implement a model.  

You may also be asked to interpret data, critique visualizations, or walk through a case study, demonstrating how you’d approach solving a real-world problem using data analysis and modeling.  

The focus is on showcasing your coding skills, statistical understanding, and analytical thinking. 

Preparation 

Connecting 

A great starting place, if you have not already, is to connect with someone in the field and ask them your own questions (we’ve drafted some example questions to help) to start to feel more comfortable and informed.  

There are several ways you can do this, the most effective being to utilize MIT’s Alumni Advisors Hub to connect with an alum working in the data science field and have a career conversation. Anyone on the Alumni Advisors Hub has explicitly agreed to be on there to connect and support MIT students, so they can answer any questions you have with a direct perspective from the field. Alumni on this platform can also offer mock interviews, technical or behavioral.  

In addition to Advisors Hub, you can utilize the MIT Alumni Directory to have helpful networking conversations, although that might feel more like cold calling.  

Studying 

Once you are ready to study for your interview, you will want to do the following.  

Practice code 

First and foremost, brush up on your coding languages that you might see, like Python and SQL. Another example is PySpark, a version of Python sometimes used in data science to analyze large sets of data.  

After brushing up on those skills, complete practice problems online. LeetCode is a commonly cited tool for practicing anything computer science related. Completing practice problems through LeetCode is an excellent way to brush up on the fundamentals and get your brain ready to complete technical coding questions in the technical interview.  

Another website specifically useful for data science students is DataLemur, which provides data science practice questions. You can find tailored questions on here that will prepare you to answer questions about analyzing data sets or creating queries to draw data out of a dataset.  

Mock technical interview 

Another great option is to try a mock technical interview, utilizing the aforementioned Alumni Advisors Hub.  

Consider having a career conversation with someone who also offers mock technical interviews, strengthening that relationship and reducing the need to search for others, lowering stress and barriers.  

While CAPD is unable to offer mock technical interviews, take advantage of Advisors Hub to find opportunities for this invaluable practice method. 

Be prepared for messy data! 

One common occurrence for candidates doing their first technical interviews is for them to not be prepared for data that is messy, incomplete, or difficult to use. Coursework often lacks opportunities to work with messy, incomplete data, while internships offer hands-on practice with these skills. Be mentally prepared to work through this, and don’t get frazzled! 

During the interview 

Once you’ve prepared thoroughly, it’s time to ace the interview! Here are some tips for how to best navigate that experience. 

Take a moment 

When you are shown a question during the interview, don’t feel that you need to immediately jump in. Rather, it is okay to ask for a moment to consider the problem and carefully decide how you want to approach it. Rushing can lead to a less effective, if not wholly incorrect, solution.  

Vocalize your thought process 

Once you have your plan of attack, vocalize your thought process at the start. This provides the interviewer the opportunity to gently correct you if you are headed in the wrong direction. Contrary to popular belief, interviewers can provide hints if you let them know your thought process!  

Continue to vocalize your thought process as you are working through the interview question. Even if you do not ultimately end up at the right answer, if you vocalize your thought process out, and those ideas make logical sense and are based in strong foundations, your interviewer might still be happy with your answer.   

After the interview 

Once you have finished with your interview, take a breather and pat yourself on the back! Getting through an interview is no small feat, so make sure to provide yourself kudos. After you’re done with your victory lap, there are two follow-up steps that will be useful. 

Reflect on the interview 

An important step of the interview process that many forget is to reflect on how the interview went.  

During this time, you can focus on what parts of the interview went well and what could use improvement in the future. Consider which questions you felt well prepared for, and where you stumbled. Reflect back on your emotions throughout the interview, and if they affected your performance.  

These considerations will prepare you best for your future interviews, and help you grow as a candidate. 

Send a thank you note 

Sending a thank-you note after your interview is a thoughtful way to leave a strong impression. Aim to send it within 24 hours, expressing your appreciation for the interviewer’s time and highlighting a specific detail or insight from your conversation. For example, if they shared challenges the team is facing, mention how it resonated with you. 

Keep your message brief but genuine, and reaffirm your interest in the role. While email is typically best for its speed, a handwritten note can add a personal touch in more traditional settings. This small effort not only shows gratitude but also reinforces your enthusiasm for the position. 

Good luck!

I hope these tips help you with your upcoming data science technical interview! By practicing via the methods mentioned above, and following the tips provided, you should be able to approach the interview with confidence. Don’t hesitate to reach out to CAPD in the future and schedule a 1:1 with an advisor for further guidance!  

You have made it this far! From your effective job searching, through the resume and cover letter you wrote as part of your application, through the waiting and speculating on your chances, to finally the email or phone call inviting you to an interview; you made it. Now, you may wonder, what do I do now?

This resource will focus primarily on interview set-ups in general, and specifically behavioral-based interviewing. For technical, case, and coding interviews, I will direct you to additional guidance on those. It is also important for you to review your rights and responsibilities as a candidate.

Behavioral Interviews

With a behavioral interview, the key to remember is simple: you are the subject-matter expert. As a candidate still in school, you may not feel like an expert in anything, but that is not true. There is no one on this planet (or in this universe) who is as knowledgeable about you as you are—and being able to talk about yourself is a critical component of a behavioral interview.

A behavioral interview is designed to assess your abilities relative to the job description. The interview will focus on your past experiences that demonstrate competencies or behaviors that support the work of the employer. You may already have an idea of what you are skilled at, so what matters now is to match your background and abilities to their needs. When you developed your resume and cover letter, you made your content relevant to create a connection with your reader. For interviewing, you will want to use this same idea to connect with your interviewer.

Interview Preparation

Preparing for any interview requires planning, time, and effort. It may take you time to reflect on your past experiences so that you can recall aspects of your background that might be of interest to your listener.

Before

Since even before you applied, you have been preparing for the interview. Through realizing that your interview is another step in the application process, you can rely on the previous steps you have taken to further prepare for the interview.

Review the job description

If you can, save the text from each job you apply to as it can effectively support your interview process. Save the text of the job description in a separate document and not just the application URL, as they might remove the posting or close access to the job description after it closes and before they begin interviewing.

In addition to refreshing your memory about what the job requires, you can start to build prompts related to the role for your personal practice. For example:

“Candidates will be evaluated and selected on the basis of academic performance, demonstrated leadership potential, communication skills…”

By reflecting on how you demonstrate these attributes will make you feel better prepared to answer related questions and prompts. The job description is a good place to start and you can do similar preparation with information you received about the company as well.

Research the company

The job description can give you a lot of helpful information, but it may be helpful to look into the company as a whole. Review their website, see what they are recently in the news for, or talk with current/former employees. These may give you added ways to align yourself with their role.

You may also find interview tips and reviews on Handshake or sites like Glassdoor.  

Practice makes proficient

There are different ways you can practice interviewing. The most common is to participate in a mock interview where someone simulates an interview by asking you questions and then providing feedback. CAPD and MIT Alumni Advisor’s Hub both offer mock interviews for you to gain practice and seek feedback. You can also do some simple things like recording yourself answering common interview prompts using your phone or webcam. As you play back the recording try to listen to yourself with an outside perspective and determine what is the best way to adjust your answer or approach.

Prepare

Given that interviews may take a variety of forms these days (from phone and video conferencing, to in person) you may need to adjust your approach based on the type of interview. Leading into the day of the interview, you may find it helpful to take the following steps:

• Allocate time. Do you need to travel? Do you need to change clothes or situate your video call backdrop? Regardless of the type of interview, plan to allocate time both before and after your interview so that you can make certain you can adequately focus during the interview. Whether the interview is online or in-person, time will help you feel a bit more at ease throughout the process.
• Be ready, early. Is your interview attire clean and ready? Do you have a strong internet connection and a quiet place to conduct a video call? Do you need to bring physical copies of your resume, portfolio, or other materials? Set-up a to-do list for what you may need to have ready prior to the interview.
• Stay calm/professional/polite. The stress of an interview might come from multiple sources: not being able to find parking, a bad internet connection, getting lost on your way to the site, or maybe even an intrusive roommate. You may not be able to control all of the outside stressors, but you can control how you might express them to others. Regardless of whether your stress is directly or indirectly related to the interview, stay calm, stay professional, and stay polite.

During

You arrived at the site, or you are in the waiting room of the conference call—in a few brief moments you are going to be in the interview. The format of most interviews is a conversation where the interviewer will ask you some questions or provide prompts, and you will respond.  However, a lot of different things can happen during the interview, so keep flexible throughout the process.

Questions & Prompts

It may be tricky, but avoid feeling like your interview is an interrogation. This is an opportunity for you to share aspects of your background relative to the position. The interviewer has specific needs in mind when they are talking with you. So, you will always want to use your understanding of their needs to assess what is the right story to share, the right ability to showcase, or the right attribute to exhibit.

Introductory

Introductory questions and prompts are ways to get to know you a bit better in a concise, and relevant way. The most common one is “tell me about yourself” which allows you to provide a general overview of your background relative to the position in question; think of this as a truncated prompt: “tell me about yourself as it is of interest to me (the interviewer)”. So, do not feel that you have to provide a verbal summary of everything that you have done. Instead, focus on the relevant attributes. In some instances, this is like an elevator pitch.

Other introductory questions and prompts include:

• Walk me through your resume
• Why are you interested in (position/company/industry)?
• What do you know about (company/industry)?

Behavioral

Behavioral interview questions are fairly easy to identify during the interview. Many of them are prompted by phrases such as

• Tell me about a time when…
• Describe your experience with…
• How have you done ___________ in the past?

Online, you can find a variety of sample questions that you can use to test your interview answers, but remember that the goal of a behavioral interview is to assess your abilities relative to the job description. Remember to use the job description to help you think of specific prompts related to the job.

Be a STAR

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Think of it like a roadmap for a solid answer when it comes to behavioral questions/prompts. Since behavioral questions and prompts focus on past experience, STAR reminds you to:

S: describe the situation you were in

              (On my recent backpacking trip through Europe…)

T: describe the task you needed to accomplish

              (I wanted to climb to the top of this mountain…)

A: describe the action you took

              (I had to plan…; I sought out a guide to help with…; I solved problems in…)

R: describe the results of your experience

              (After 10 days, I successfully made it to the top; and I learned quite a lot from the experience…)

Provided that you have gone through each of the four components, you will have a solid foundation for your answer. The level of detail you provide is up to you, but find a balance between providing a clear illustration of your abilities without diving too deep into unrelated details.

Other questions and prompts

You may be asked a variety of additional questions and prompts throughout your interview. The nature of these questions and prompts will depend on different factors. They may include:

• Personal assessment: What are your strengths/weaknesses? Define success/define failure. What is your ideal job? What frustrates you at work?
• Ambitions/Plans: Where do you see yourself in five years? What qualities do you look for in a boss or manager? What are your ideas on salary?
• Company or “Culture” fit: What do you know about our work? How do you define success? Which section of the company do you have interest in working in? What type of environment are you most comfortable working in?

For more practice questions, check out this list of interview questions.

Closings

These questions are typically at the end of the interview.

• Is there anything else we should know about you?
• What questions do you have for us?

Here are some sample questions to ask during an interview. Given how much variance you may encounter in an interview, research additional questions associated with your specific organization through sites like Handshake and Glassdoor.  

Time Management

There is a limited amount of time you have to interview and you will want to manage that time effectively. Some initial phone screens might be 20-30 minutes, and some final rounds may extend for a full day or more. Budgeting your time is an important aspect of the interview to make certain you have adequate opportunity to share your fit for the position. Keep a watch, clock, or other time keeping device in easy view so that you can make certain to keep aware of how long you may take to answer a question or prompt, and the amount of time you have remaining.

Confidence

Prior to writing your resume or cover letter, chances are you reviewed the job description and told yourself “hey, I can do this!”  Now that you have received a request for an interview, continue to have this faith in your knowledge, skills, and abilities as it pertains to this job. It’s easy to let negative thoughts and self-doubt creep in, but to counter those thoughts and feelings try to keep the following in mind:

Become your SME

You are the subject matter expert (SME) in an interview. In many instances, the interview is about you and your fit for a specific position. No one in the interview is more knowledgeable about you, than you. Familiarizing yourself about your own background, and the experiences that you have had, can be quite beneficial to use during the interview.  

Reassess the power differential

It’s easy to feel inadequate when you approach the dynamic of an interview with “they have the job, and I want the job”—causing you to feel like you have to appeal to their authority. But remember, they are looking for someone with skills…and you have skills. They are looking for someone with new ideas…and you have ideas.  They are looking for some who brings in energy…and you have energy. Avoid going in with a deficit mindset. They chose you for an interview because there was something about you that they thought was good.

Keep it conversational

Part of the nervousness you may feel around an interview may be partially due to the idea that you are perceiving it to be an interrogation. Although it may not be the classic film portrayal of a dark, grey room with two people demanding answers from you, you may feel that it might be quite similar. Sure, the interviewers are going to ask you questions, but you also have the ability to assess them in turn. Try to avoid the idea that this is going to be one-sided. Use the interview as an opportunity to determine whether you can see yourself working there: alongside the people who are interviewing you and in the culture that they convey.

Re-acquaint yourself with your friend oxygen

Talking for thirty minutes to an hour straight can knock the wind out of you, literally. As a result, part of your overall nervousness during an interview may feel akin to suffocating: lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and shallow breathing. Before, during, and after the interview, remind yourself to breathe. In some cases, you may find it helpful to do techniques like box breathing to help you stay present in the moment. Regardless of the style, making a conscious effort to breathe will help you feel better throughout the interview.  

After

Although you may feel a bit a relief that you have just navigated your interview successfully, there are still things you should do to make the most of the interview:

Gratitude

Beyond being polite, a thank you note can be a great tool to use as part of your interview. You can send either a physical thank you note or an email. Through your note, you have the opportunity to express gratitude, revisit topics of conversation, and reaffirm your interest for the role.

You may not receive a response to your thank you note, but regardless it is a good way to move your candidacy forward.

Interview Timeline

Timelines will depend on a variety of factors. One question you may want to ask during your interview is “What is your timeline for hiring this position and when might I hear about next steps?” This way you have a good idea of what you may encounter and can plan ahead.

This is also a good reason to develop contacts within an organization (for example, through Alumni Advisors Hub). Having individuals who know what their timeline is, on the inside, can help you feel better about where you might be in the process.

Keep positive, keep up your search

An interview is a step, but it is not an offer. So, do not feel that you have something guaranteed until you have the official offer and keep up your search. By continuing to search until you have an offer, it will help distract you from wondering where you are in this search. Throughout the whole process, keep a positive outlook—the right position is out there and you might still need to do some searching for it.

Additional Resources

CAPD provides mock interviews for all students all year long. You can select “mock interview” as an appointment type in Handshake which usually takes about 50 minutes, or any career advising appointment if you just have questions. Please note that all mock interviews are behavioral, and unfortunately, CAPD is unable to simulate a technical or case interview, or rather you may want to access better resources for the other two…

Which you might be able to find support for through the Alumni Advisors Hub. Alumni can be a great resource for mock interviews as well as they might be able to give you specific feedback related to their specific company or industry. If you are looking for support with a coding or case interview, alumni are a valuable resource.

Before any interview, review our general advice on interviewing:

• Do your research.
• Practice, practice, practice.
• Plan ahead. Make sure your interview day is as stress-free as possible.

Psychologically prepare

• Consider light exercise, meditation or yoga the morning of your interview.
• Recognize and acknowledge that there might be awkward pauses or that you might speak over each other.
• Remind yourself of previous successes and accomplishments!

Prepare your virtual interview space and technology

• Have a light source behind or next to your camera.
• Position your camera to eye level.
• Select a neutral background.
• Test your audio and video.
• Find a quiet space with little to no possibility for interruptions. If you share a space, communicate in advance the time you’ll be conducting your interview.
• Consider finding a quiet space on campus or reserving an interview room in CAPD.
• Clear your screen and close extra browsers, especially if there is a chance you’ll be sharing your screen.
• If your industry uses portfolios, have that ready for sharing.
• Before the call, silence your phone and turn off other notifications (like email, or slack) and make sure your device is charged.

How to handle technical issues

• Prior to the interview, test out the video platform you will be using.
• Make sure that you have your phone available and the interviewer’s phone number as a backup option if needed.
• If there is a delay with your video, consider setting up a space closer to the Wi-Fi router.
• If technical issues arise during the interview, stay calm!
• Communicate through the chat feature to let your interviewer know what’s going on.
• Consider logging off and logging back on.
• If you are unable re-connect, consider emailing the recruiter and offering to finish the interview via phone call or consider using you phone to call into the video platform.

How to strengthen your virtual presence and non-verbal cues during the interview:

• Look into the camera to make eye contact, especially when answering questions.
• Smiling is helpful in establishing a positive virtual presence and connection with interviewers.
• Be sure to sit straight up, consider sitting near the front of your chair to help maintain posture.
• Create some space between you and the camera.
• If there is sometimes background noise in your location, mute your audio when not speaking.

Preparing for one-way interviews?

Sometimes an employer will have a one-way interview as part of the initial screening process for candidates. In this type of interview, candidates log into an online platform and respond to interview questions that have been pre-recorded rather than responding to a live person.

• Refer to each employer’s instructions for specifics. They will likely share important information like deadlines, login info, and special instructions.
• Unless otherwise stated, assume that you will only have one attempt to record your answers.
• Prepare lighting, background, and technology the way you would for a live virtual interview.
• Once you log into the system and begin recording, look to see if there is a timer. Most one-way interviews will set a time limit on your responses that you’ll want to be mindful of so your answers are not cut off.
• Don’t wait until the deadline to complete the interview in case questions or technical issues arise as you may need to contact the employer for assistance.

Need a Phone/Video Interview Room?

Rooms in CAPD E17-294 are available for students and postdocs to reserve for participating in virtual interviews. Our interview space is private, has a digital phone, WIFI, and is available Mon-Fri from 10am-4pm except on holidays and school closings.
