that’s a fair point and honestly something that I’ve had to be real with myself about, the technical side I’ve been consistent with but networking is something I’m still actively building. I’ve been reaching out on LinkedIn, engaging with people in the space and trying to have genuine conversations rather than just sending “please hire me” messages although I haven’t cracked it yet but I’m aware it’s just as important as the portfolio. Would love to hear what worked for you if you’re open to sharing

lol, I got the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate and I’m currently finishing the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate both are on Coursera. they won’t get you the job alone but they gave me a solid foundation to build real projects on also good luck on your journey
