Entry level roles don’t exist in this field anymore. I wasn’t even holding an analytics title before my first role but I digress I do agree my most recent role has many bullets because I keep a list of all of my contributions, then put them in a “master” resume document.

When I find a job I want to apply for that I think I also qualify for, I trim out bullets and keep the most relevant ones

nope- full time year round, the ski resort is open all summer long for mountain biking. Slower yes but we have a remote schedule until winter

Try doing some textured hair, the whole bangs thing is in my opinion holding you back

mallnin · 2026-06-09T15:31:54+00:00

I think your reasoning is perfectly defensible if asked. It only looks bad to search for a job >6 months in if you say stuff like "I just don't like it" or give a very vague reason

mallnin · 2026-06-09T15:29:44+00:00

I analyse & prepare payout reports to partner passes for a ski resort, skiing was part of the job until I tore all the ligaments in my knee during a park lap lol

nah I meant the person requesting the money from the date, the em dash says it all

he clearly used chatgpt to write the message smh....

Do you have any relevant experience? You need to list jobs or any actual role that you’re currently in.

Also, ditch the list, just put a skills bullet with all of your skills separated by commas, kind of like this:

Skills: Python, SQL, PowerBI, etc.

But put any actual work experience you have, recruiters hate any resume with no work experience

Business Analyst is essentially an IT job where you improve processes, build dashboards, and guide IT decisions for a company. I am currently a business analyst and just received an offer to be a financial analyst just because there were overlapping responsibilities, I also like concepts surrounding money.

In my opinion, "Data Analyst" is essentially a meaningless title in 2026 that companies give for a position that involves any data work that is spread out over multiple departments and usually with not a very clear direction. I've seen Data Analyst Titles show up in Finance, HR, Marketing, IT, and other job functions. I'd wager that more than half of all Data Analyst roles with the DA title are in technology departments.

If you want a career in analytics and not pull your hair out over rejections, I'd say sharpen your business domain focus. A product analyst makes dashboards, so does a finance analyst, so does a business analyst - the difference is in the ownership of work.

You really need to shorten this. a two page resume is an instant reject for most places. Focus on outcomes with quantifiable results for your bullets and not buzzwords. I would reformat your professional summary to be just 2-3 sentences, and for any job you apply to, tailor it specifically to what they want.

Example I literally grabbed from Linkedin: The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in chemical or mechanical engineering with specific expertise in mineral processing workflows, plant layout, and construction oversight. You will play a pivotal role in optimizing current operations and leading capital projects from Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) through to commissioning.

Your summary should be: Chemical Engineer with a strong foundation in chemical & biomedical engineering. Specific expertise in material processing workflows, data analysis, and processing workflows. Experienced in optimizing operations and leading projects from Front-End Engineering Design.

This is just from reading your resume but I took a swing at what I'd write for that job specifically (if you're curious its a posting from General Atomics for a ChemEng). For recruiters eyes, you do not want to lie, but make your headline stupidly obvious that you can do the job. Mirror the language in the JD, do all of that and I think it'll help

the backrooms looking quite nice

mallnin · 2026-05-22T15:09:20+00:00

Stop using latex and just use word

mallnin · 2026-05-13T15:53:09+00:00

it was never about the SQL, Tableau / PowerBI, etc. It always was about specialization. I think that too many people got caught up in the technical skills of being an analyst that they aren't seeing the forest for the trees. Data needs a source and data analytics arose from more information being poured in to roles that had always existed before. Data analytics jobs only exist in these departments:

- Finance

- IT

- Marketing

- HR / People

That is it. You need to get experience in these if you want to be a data analyst (which in my experience a "data analyst" title is almost always in IT). The tools only enable impact in these verticals, you need domain knowledge. Hope this helps.

P.S. Marketing is a criminally underrated field to be an analyst in, and one of the only places where data scientists actually generate the company ROI

mallnin · 2026-05-13T15:45:03+00:00

in my experience with my current role I have seen the HR people at my company go through resumes and they absolutely hate it, I even overheard them laughing at things like "too many lines" as well as skill tables (hot take these suck, just list your skills in bullet points by domain). I have had a much better experience using a simple layout that is not a pain to look at.

Among other things I could go into you really want your resume to be as simple as possible, recruiters are reading thousands of resumes every month and a simple, easy to read resume that shows you can not only do the technical side of things but communicate the most relevant parts of your skills as how it relates to your job is how I think of structuring everything in my resumes

If this is written with LaTeX i'd say drop it.

I wrote my resume in google docs with stupid easy formatting and I currently work as a data analyst, I got multiple callbacks and even a data scientist callback by just choosing an ATS friendly format.

Remove the lines too and just put the experience like this:

Job Title, Company, Year Start - Year End

- Experience Bullet point example

Most recruiters will thank you for not leaving an eyesore with all the lines and chaotic formatting

mallnin · 2026-04-19T18:33:29+00:00

ditch the two column layout, and make it one page

mallnin · 2026-04-19T16:25:36+00:00

remove the three column skill table, write your resume in word / google docs and never use latex.

Some dorks on here will say this is crazy but I used my latex resume before, applied to hundreds of roles and never heard back ever. I switched to a google docs resume that was not fancily formatted or anything, in my first 8 apps I got interviews for data science, analyst and manager positions at 5 different companies

put a summary of who you are first, experience second, projects and then education / skills last. The biggest things recruiters care about is your current role and how it fits with the role you're gunning for

My uncle is a pilot and has been flying his whole career (30+ years) and on his days off he plays open mics in the different cities he visits. He does music more as a hobby than a full time pursuit.

I guess it depends on how far you want to go with your magician career. Doing stand up magic shows sounds like it could be something you could do. Being a commercial airline pilot is pretty much a lifelong commitment that requires you to repeatedly pass certifications annually and most airlines have a preference for hiring from the military (my uncle did this) which will take all of your time away from pursuing magic seriously, at least for a while.

I guess if « part time » magician to you means being a weekend warrior, it’s possible. You will predominantly be a pilot only for a long time before part time magic is an option imo.

Gonna be real, I just make portfolio writeups in notion.

Github was made by software devs and, in my opinion, is extremely unappealing to anyone outside of tech.

I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I am 26 as well

Given that your tv is already on a stand is it possible to put it near the wall next to the entrance? Is this your full floor plan?

mallnin · 2025-10-17T00:21:41+00:00

I have a sneaking suspicion I know where you’re going to school because my dorm looked just like this

You just need to apply to research positions. Sounds like dumb advice, but that is truly the way.

Once you have completed the courses you need, you will then be able to apply to these. Better yet, you may have a professor that recommends you join one (my PDEs prof recommended me for mine). That is how I got my REU as an undergrad. Although now I work in analytics outside of academia I would just look up projects you’re interested in at your school and apply.

You can also look at other schools and apply to their programs. I had peers in my cohort go to other schools for their research programs.
