"The Complete Power BI Interview Guide" by Sandielly Ortega Polanco, Gogula Aryalingam, and Abu Bakar Nisar Alvi is an essential resource for aspiring data analysts aiming to master Power BI and ace their job interviews. Published by Packt Publishing, the book offers a modern approach to navigating the competitive job market for data professionals.The guide is meticulously structured to cover all aspects of Power BI, from basic to advanced levels. It begins with tips on enhancing one's professional profile and preparing for interviews, emphasizing the importance of networking and maintaining a polished LinkedIn presence. This foundational advice sets the stage for the technical deep dive that follows.Chapters two through four comprehensively overview essential skills, including SQL, Python, and data visualization techniques. The author’s extensive experience in data analytics and business intelligence shines through in these sections, offering readers not just theoretical knowledge but practical insights and tips. Their backgrounds lend credibility, with each author bringing a wealth of real-world experience to the table, further enhancing the book's value.Much of the book is dedicated to the Power BI workflow, data modeling, and DAX programming. These sections are particularly valuable for building and optimizing Power BI reports. The step-by-step instructions, combined with real-world examples, make complex concepts accessible.The later chapters focus on the softer aspects of job preparation, including effective data storytelling, dashboard creation, and security implementation in Power BI. The authors also address the HR interview process, offering strategies for negotiating salaries and benefits—an often overlooked but crucial part of job hunting.Overall, "The Complete Power BI Interview Guide" is a must-read for data professionals. It balances technical depth with practical advice, ensuring readers are well-prepared for both the technical and interpersonal aspects of their job search.

While it definitely fulfills the intent in the title of being a great prep resource for a data analyst interview, it actually is far more than that. At 450+ pages, I would describe it as a complete roadmap for someone to enter/transition into a data career, who has chosen Power BI as one of the main tools in their stack.The book proceeds down two parallel tracks, which is both what makes it unique and valuable, and also a bit difficult to categorize. The first track is the broader picture career roadmap, where it discusses creating an effective online profile, resume, project portfolio, and building a strong professional network.The second track is a much more detailed exploration of the topics you will need to know in a data analyst or developer role in which Power BI is a major component.This book is not intended to make someone a Power BI expert, but does an excellent job introducing the reader to the range of topics they will need to develop a strong knowledge of in order to be a well-rounded and effective Power BI professional. Each section concludes with a list of questions (and answers) typical of those that would be asked in the technical portion of an interview.The book concludes back on the first track with a detailed discussion of HR/interview processes, tips for negotiating salary and benefits, best practices for accepting and rejecting job offers, onboarding, continual learning and professional development. As someone with 20+ years of experience as a Hiring Manager, I found this section to be very consistent with the advice that I often give to early-career data analysts.So, if you are in that phase of your career and have PowerBI as a central tool in your in your toolbox, I think you will find much of value in this book.

This book goes far beyond just the Interview itself, moving in to career success and a roadmap for growth.I think this is a great mix of technical skills you need to master, soft skills and career advice.There's some great content including leveraging LinkedIn, improving the CV, how to work with dummy data online to build out a report portfolio.Nice clear screenshots are used at key points and even though this is a long book (+400 pages) it's in bite-sized sections.For me the section I enjoyed the most were around Effective Data Storytelling (technical is one thing but telling a story is another) - I've already read "storytelling with data" by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic but this chapter is specifically Power BI focussed and has some really good examples of how to leverage key visuals effectively.The other sections I valued was the interview round itself (some good interview questions in here) and also the onboarding process section.This covers not just the first day but also a good roadmap for success in the first weeks and months and beyond.The book ends with some great suggestions and links to for websites to follow, books to read and YouTube channels.Overall I'm really impressed with this book - from both a technical and soft skills perspective for anyone considering moving role or considering moving into the BI space.
