Facebook has 41 job openings on its data and analytics team. That's a large chunk of its 240-some tech positions to fill.
If you toss your resume into the bucket and get called for an interview, know this: The skill your potential future boss really wants is "understanding people," explained Ken Rudin, head of analytics at Facebook.
So he said last night at "Big Data Date Night," a one-evening event held in Mountain View, Calif.
"We're looking for people who are interested in understanding human nature and social behavior and who find it really appealing to be able to work with the largest data set ever amassed of a slice of human life on a daily basis," he said. "So the people who make good analysts are the ones who are really passionate about understanding people."
