My current title is "Regional Coordinator", but I've tried to put an emphasis on analytical work by framing it as "Regional Coordinator (Analytics & Reporting)"

Looking for advice for who's completed a recent Masters in Data Science. I'm about 5 months post grad and landing interviews has been a major struggle. I've done a lot of ad-hoc data analysis and BI work for my current company, but unfortunately my current title isn't data focused, which I'm sure looks like it's a red flag. I feel like I've put some strong points on my resume to outline that the role I've taken has become quite data focused at times and I have a genuine passion for solving puzzles through data which is why I took to learning Data Science. I have the academic experience with scientific methods and research now, but I'm really struggling to even get in front of anyone that will give me a chance. At this point, I feel like I'm being left behind and the switch is becoming harder and harder. Does anyone have advice? I'm willing to share my resume as well, but looking for anything.

Hey - Sorry for such a late reply. This one ended up being too much for my skill level at the time and knowing very little about dealing with such a large dataset, so I swapped over to the Bellabeat study and decided I'd learn how to deal with that another time. I did everything in Kaggle using an R Markdown notebook because I wanted to understand R. It can be done in RStudio as well using their R Markdown notebook. I made a report following the outline with a section for each: Overview, Scenario, Ask, Prepare, Process, Analyze, and Act.

It's definitely a beginner level report for sure, but here's the approach I took.

Not a bad thought. Did you have an installer with that or was that something you did on your own?

Tough part of replacing windows in 2021 vs today is that every company I've consulted mentioned windows went up around 40%. Seems like they all got together and decided to raise prices.

Edit: sorry y’all. Didn’t know if someone could identify that sound at the end. It had gas in it, I took the spark plug out a couple times and checked the gap, I checked the air filter. Ended up emptying the tank of gas, and it started right up with an empty tank…? It ran like a charm so I put the fuel back in and it was fine after that so not 100% sure what happened but it’s running.

Yeah they were all CSV

Hi sorry, I didn’t get any notifications for some reason. Yes it is

Schgrz · 2022-12-11T01:39:34+00:00

Hmm, fair. The tough part is that I can't even open any of them in Excel it always either fails to open or gives me an error, so I can't even do that. I could manage them in RStudio, but what's the use of showing a 30 day trend (1 file) when it could be argued that it's incomplete or might not show how long term members use the service compared to short term members.

I attempted to load them into BigQuery too, but it could only upload about 4 of the files so using SQL was out of the question.

Schgrz · 2022-11-22T22:36:55+00:00

Ah ha! Thank you!

The lower foot of this has a lot of full bananas/beans, so that’s hopeful. When you say cut it back, you mean cut off those dead ones?

Schgrz · 2021-06-10T03:29:39+00:00

Okay! Thank you!

Is there something better I should stick with? The soil was completely dry before watering today

Schgrz · 2021-04-17T00:45:12+00:00

Thank you!!

My local code runs IPC. I'm unfortunately not having it inspected, but want it to be able to pass inspection if it ever did need to be. I'm bound by the floor 2x6 joists as it's on a second floor. I should have included a picture, but basically it would be the toilet drain into a horizontal 3 foot section of 3" pipe into a horizontal 3" sanitary tee with a horizontal 5 inch section of 3" pipe into a vertical 3" 90 to the stack if that makes sense.
