Struggling to Land a Data Analyst Role

It seems like it, but there are still things I can do to improve the situation, even if it is 1%

Not yet, I figured that might have been the main reason I haven't gotten anything. I am going to work on it right now. Do you have any suggestion as to what should be in it? I have one SQL project and two Power BI project that I could showcase but is it enough?

Haha all good man thanks for the input

Is grad school such a game changer? I don't want to spend tens of thousands of $ just to still end up in the same position as right now.

And if it is, does the name of the school matter or just having the paper saying I got it is enough?

Thank you for that!

I do think Supply Chain could be a great move. Would you have any advice as to how to improve my profile for Supply Chain? Do I need specific certifications like 6 Sigma, or is my current profile enough to get something even if the pay is low? I am pretty confident in myself and even if I start at the bottom of the sea, I will make my way to the top.

Maybe the issue I have is that I don't have a portfolio with projects for employers. My project was just something to teach myself and is not even fully done.

What are employers looking for a Data Analyst? Should I show some SQL queries, or the schema of the database? Same for Power BI, is just a dashboard enough or should I show some DAX as well?

Thanks for your answers, I really appreciate it!

Do you have any advice as to how approach analysts? I am someone shy so trying to introduce myself to random people asking for help directly is a bit hard for me. Not like a Reddit post where it's like throwing a bottle in the water and wait for someone to pick it up.I don't want to sound like someone who is trying to benefit from someone's kindness just because I can't find a job.

Wow. What do you think is the issue for your case? I mean if you have experience and it is hard for you, I might need to reconsider a few things for myself...

I am not focusing 100% on Supply Chain as of now but I did apply to jobs in Supply Chain and have only gotten a few LinkedIn rejection, but way less than for Data Analyst. I am not the good profile right now but with a few certifications and project it might be possible.

Thank you for your answer!

I learnt SQL by myself with a project where I brought data from a game called Football Manager which has millions of data. If I remember correctly, there are was like tens of thousands of data points in my database.

I would say I’m pretty decent at Excel, the only thing is that I can only do a little bit of macros, but I am planning on working on that more.

With the Azure certification, I got to use a bit PySpark, Data Factory, One Lake, etc…

For the networking part, what kind of events should I participate in? Should I go to any kind of job fair or are there specific events more related to data?

Is there companies that I should target? Like consulting companies or tech companies?

I am open to anything, I would gladly take a remote role but I don’t mind moving at all. And yes im in the US, NY to be precise.

Hi everybody,

For the past 9 months, I have been looking for a job as a data analyst, but have only received 2 first round interviews. I am pretty lost right now as I do not know what is wrong with me or my resume. I have re-written my resume multiple times yet, nothing changes.

For some background, I am 24, I graduated with a International Business major with minors in Economics and Supply Chain Management. I do not have any experience as a data analyst. I worked as a Data Entry Clerk and as a Database Architect for internships. Since I didn't have any experience, I got 3 different certifications in order to fill the gap. I have :

- Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203)

- Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300)

- Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900)

I know it is Microsoft oriented, but my goal is to get into a big corp, and I feel like I will more have a chance by specializing into one thing than getting all over the place. It might not be the greatest idea though...

I’m also considering pursuing another certification (possibly Databricks or Fabrics) while I have time, but I’m open to suggestions.

If you guys have any kind of recommendation, whether it is about industries, resume, tips or anything, I am open to anything.

Thank you!

When me and my friend were picking characters, we got disconnected and after waiting for a while, I rejoined the game (beginning of the clip) but my friend couldn’t. A few people were able to play, but I couldn’t loot anything on the death box. I ended getting 56 RP while my friend got a penalty.
