SAS for Job Interviews

Yeah. I hope someone wrote a book like that.

Basically,

Libname
Proc Datasets
Proc Import
Proc Contents
Proc Freq
Proc Means
Proc Univariate
Proc Reg
Proc Logistic
Proc Export (to excel where you do the graphs)
ODS
Proc Tabulate

(note – it would be interesting to do a proc freq on all procs say used say on SAS On Demand)

Any thing else is not needed for a entry level job for a fresh grad student or job for a veteran re-trained worker.

Just like society needs science and commerce as twin pillars, analytics needs SAS (great Marketing) and R (great research) for expanding the pie of analytics which is woefully underutilized and stupidly overcapitalized by jazzy-copy-paste-data-from-query- software disguised as “intelligent software”. R has no certification and no formal training for jobs (as yet) though this should change. SAS looks great (still) for getting jobs for grad students. R looks great (yup) for getting research jobs probably not corporate analytics jobs ?What do you think?
