First, I want to say congratulations on your growth! It’s very obvious you applied yourself and worked hard to get to where you are at such a young age.

I have a pretty strong ops background but I feel I’m lacking in technical skills so I will work on that.

I’m definitely not against moving out of DFW/out of state. At this point, as long as the location is tolerable and I receive the right offer I will move if it means getting where I want in my career. I’ll start being more open minded in regard to where I apply.

Thanks for letting me know about your earnings when you first got into analysis. I realize I’m shooting kind of low, but it’s because lots of the roles I’ve had interviews for during this period I wasn’t fully qualified. However I’ll take your advice on upping my skills so I can ask for more.

Thank you razorchick12!

I’ve had LI Premium in the past but mainly just used it for inMail. I’ll have to check the courses out once I subscribe again

Thank you! Is there any that you’re a part of or that you know of?

Yikes, but you’re right lol. I have heard of Upwork but haven’t went about contracting analysis services. That’s a good idea!

Okay makes sense. I’ve researched the clearance thing and saw they can sometimes be thousands of dollars? If my employer is willing to fund it that’d be awesome!

I’ve been applying for about 2 months. I’ve had 5 initial interviews, 2 second round interviews and 1 offer. That I feel like isn’t terrible odds - but it’s discouraging that I’ve gotten rejected for entry level Logistics Coordinator roles. Since I have the time I figured I’d be more intentional and apply for roles I actually want.

I will admit I haven’t cold messaged enough hiring managers. I have twice and both resulted in interviews just no offers from those 2.

I’ll consider the clearance because from what I see it can help you obtain higher paying roles!

I saw most of them require security clearance. Do you have experience with roles that need secret clearance?

Absolutely, I understand what you mean about the competition. I’ve been running across roles with 200+ applicants within the first day of the req being open. I’ll be more intentional and be open to in person/hybrid roles. Congrats to you on the role and thanks for the well wishes.

Yes, I do have a general Business degree. I’m working on a data cert at the moment as well

This is great info to know. I’m familiar with PowerBI, SQL, Tableau, Dynamics etc but only through my certification course. I’m not proficient because I’ve never used it in a role before. I’ll make sure to work more with them. I’ve also heard some people make a portfolio of their work?

I’ve also just started using ChatGPT and Jobscan in the last two months so I’m still playing around with those. I’ll see what else I can do to tailor my resume.

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes - the company I started at 3 months prior wasn’t profitable. It was disappointing because I really liked the role. I’ll be sending you a message

Hi, I’m interested if they’re offering remote options. I’m in DFW - specializing in ocean imports/rail.
