The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) contains many sections and components which report on and assess the nation's health status. A team of IT specialists and computer systems analysts handle data processing, quality control, and quality assurance for the survey. The most complex section of NHANES is dietary supplements, from which five publicly released data sets are are derived.

SAS Job Searching and Interviewing Tips – Strategies in the Post-Pandemic Era
Searching for work in the data analytics market is more competitive than ever before. Part of this is due
to the nature of the work environment, which has shifted from in office, on-site to remote and hybrid

I'll also discuss the interview process in detail, from initial HR interviews to final interviews with a hiring manager.
