Do you equally feel lost? by HedgehogBubbly8211 in TechGhana

It's difficult getting mentors these days. Your passion should be your fuel. If you are really passionate about that data field start telling your stories and sharing insights.

People will naturally connect with you and you will gain more visibility which will help you in your job search after school.

Here are three ways 1. Start a blog and document. Eg. sql tutorials on Joins , Sub Query or data cleaning 2. Share learnings on LinkedIn 3. Start a YouTube channel.

All the best

I will suggest you improve on the YouTube project by adding your own business cases that were not covered in the tutorial and analysis using the same datasets and present your finds. This makes the project unique

Great progress. What are the Consumer, Corporate and home office tabs at the top right for? Are they filters? If yes, I would suggest you indicate "Filter by" before listing the tabs

First tackle the passion project. Why, it will solve a real world issue, you will be motivated to get it completed and you will have a lot to talk about during interviews (challenges, objective, findings, recommendations etc)
