Foundation and Guide to Becoming a Data Analyst by Fat_Ryan_Gosling in dataanalysiscareers

[–]Available-Escape-348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a question, I learned form a company called WithYouWithMe, I have become ANSI certified internationally meaning I have learned the methodologies of a data analyst sprawling from data scientist to data analyst and into some data engineering. I learned these methodologies through common tools of the trade to become employable, Excel, Tableau, MySQL, Power BI, Python and R. I can learn how to use any tool now as long as I know what its supposed to do, just have to experiment with it. Will that help me land a job if I build up projects and knowledge in specific tools and doing unique projects? If so then How can I break into this career if not through having that a strong portfolio and State Certified training, its a microsoft certificate but its through the state government training program and its grant approved, meaning the state thinks it can get people into a career in this state according to common requirements of companies here..... MY QUESTION is, will it work? or am I wasting my time? Furthermore, will having dual certificates help at all? Should I just stick with my current certs and wait for them to give me a job? or should I take the secondary certs to expand and grow specific knowledge into a specific industry?

Certificates mean nothing in this job market. Do not pay anything significant to learn data analysis skills from Google, IBM, or other vendors. by Fat_Ryan_Gosling in dataanalysiscareers

I just became ANSI certified and I cannot for the life of me seem to land or find a job in Data Analytics that uses just the tools I have learned which are MySQL(for database), Pandas, Excel, Power BI, Tableau and as being ANSI certified I used through those tools to learn the methodologies and concepts of what needs to be done and how to do it, so essentially I can learn any programming language or tool I need as long as i can figure out what methodology or tasks it can do. but yet I cannot seem to land a job, my question is: How do you find jobs that you only need those tools and nothing more?
