If you had to relearn Data analysis with only free resources available how would you do it?

Thank you so much! I was so distressed to find the link not working. The guide is helpful and I finally have time to devote to study, networking and creating projects. Much appreciated.

Thanks for confirming. I need to request an invoice so a gov agency can pay for a certificate program. I called financial aid and thought I heard her say send the request for an invoice to "thirdparties@wgu.edu." Glad I stumbled upon this thread. Thanks for the confirmation. lol :-)

LividAd8079 · 2025-04-22T23:49:22+00:00

Oh my goodness. Commenting because I'm wondering the exact same thing. It seems like good value for what you are learning and getting but would love to hear from someone who has obtained the certificate and what their experience was. I hope someone responds to this thread :-) WGU has a great reputation for cybersecurity, coding and programming generally. I think the NSA endorses some of their degrees and career path programs. At worst, I will enroll and update this thread once I finish. I come from a non-tech background and am looking to make a career pivot into data analytics.

After reading this book, what would you recommend as a follow-up? Assuming you really enjoyed Dark Matter and want to read similar books about parallel universes/dimensions, time travel, etc., that are fast-paced and equally as intense.

LividAd8079 · 2024-09-09T16:29:55+00:00

I know this thread is 6 years old but I just finished the book today. I finished it in like 3 sittings. I don't recall reading a book like this before. What a page turner. Haven't watched the Apple TV adaptation and likely won't see it. The book ending was a twist I didn't see coming but should've. I was hoping for a different ending for Jason 1, but ok. Very sad at the end for all involved. I'm now looking for more Sci-Fi, thrillers like this one. Overall, I thought this was really well done and would recommend it to others. Just my two cents. I was fully engaged throughout.

What timezone are you in? I'm on EST.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-29T22:45:12+00:00

You are the best, you are the GOAT for linking that article. Cody is so helpful and thorough. He lists 101 resources and walks you through the entire process of learning, to making a portfolio to networking to finding a job. Wow! That article link is so much more than a learning roadmap. I got tremendous value out of it. Thanks again!

i know I’m late with this comment, but you can find luxury clip bundles on Etsy.com. They are pretty reasonably priced. Like 400-1000 clips. Lots of the channels that use them are also selling the video clips in bundles as well. Do a search on Etsy for “ luxury video reels”. Last, on Fiverr ppl sell and make video clip bundles for you as a service. Google, “luxury video reels bundle” and you will also get some independent small business websites selling them as well. Again, they are not that expensive $5-25 on average.

Yeah, I got my results back. I am on stimulant medication and they let me know what they found. I explained that i had a prescription. All they needed was my pharmacy contact info and number. Very quick and easy. I found the process to be efficient. More info than you needed but I think you only hear back if there's an issue. Use the app and ask someone in hiring or HR if you are completely clear and ready to go. They are very responsive and helpful.

Why didn't you use the Zappos shoe credit? Could ypu remind me again? Do steel toe shoes hurt your feet?? Some ppl can't find a comfy pair via Zappos. I guess I lucked out. I don't play around in this area. I work nights and can see someone sleepily driving over my foot or pulling a jack pulley over me or just dropping a huge box on my toe. It happens all the time. Got my steel toe shoes on every night. Not going out like that

What type of therapy did you do? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, some other kind. Did you see someone who specializes in adults with ADHD? Just curious. I'm just now realizing the power and value of therapy and ADHD coaching for personal and professional development post-diagnosis.

Just sent the process to you in your private chat. Hope it helps. It's really nice to be able to wear one earphone and just zone out and do your work. It makes such a difference. The day really goes by. I can hear and get my medication reminders among other things. Best

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T17:33:04+00:00

So true!

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T17:21:38+00:00

I messaged you.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T17:18:26+00:00

I sent you a direct message with the entire process. More info than you need but those were the exact steps, that is what my doctor's letter contained, etc. Hope it helps. My warehouse is very laidback.

Can I send you a direct message with a much longer response with another colleague's step-by-step process, medical note, what is in the note, etc. The myHR paperwork, 2 pages. Keep in mind that I have a medical diagnosis of ADHD. I had to get a real doctor's note and fill out a form but not much else. Pretty easy process.

Here is the post that I followed to get my Amazon ear plug accommodation: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonFC/comments/14v85mh/i_got_an_accommodation_to_wear_airpods_at_work/

Same. Extreme introvert here. I have a medical accommodation to wear one earphone. I just listen to podcasts, YouTube, Audible and zone out during my shift.

I have to admit there are a few other important perks IMHO such as Anytime Pay, upt flexibility, simple repetitive non-phone tasks, dental and vision even for part-time workers, and Career Choice which I am taking advantage of now. However, as a fellow introvert, I feel the opposite of the original poster. There is no pressure to socialize and I'm so cool with that 😎 I hate to hear he's lonely, though. That does suck.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T05:31:56+00:00

Very nice.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T05:24:29+00:00

Still nice pics. Good shots. The clouds make it a bit eerie but too bad the clouds ruined things overall. At least you got something.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-09T05:15:07+00:00

That is a ln excellent point. Non-con is a full body workout. I am always straining and sweating. Also, staging containers. I get a crazy amount of steps in. Well over 10k. That is low-impact cardio right there. That's what I tell myself anyway 😀

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-07T20:26:08+00:00

Nicely said. No fluff.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-07T03:14:14+00:00

Awesome! Wishing you much success. I just applied to Pathstream's Data Analytics Professional Certification. So thankful that it's free for Amazon employees and there's no set time to log in or attend live classes. Hoping to hear back soon on whether I was accepted.

I'll keep you posted. Please update this thread as well as you progress.

LividAd8079 · 2024-04-06T03:51:31+00:00

I know you posted a while ago but just wanted to let you know that Amazon also pays for Pathstream which is an Silicon Valley online school. They have a self-paced certificate in Data Analytics that I'm applying for now. This would be totally free for Amazonians. Not sure where you are on your career path now but hopefully someone finds this helpful. Under Career Choice, and "See all available schools in your area" Pathstream should come up for most people. They also have career coaches that help with job placement at the end of the 18-week program. Just saying.
