Taking courses in Excel, Tableau, Python, R, and SQL is a solid start.
But learning doesn’t happen there.
Let me explain.
Job seekers often face rejection even after getting these skills because they simply don't put them into practice.
But if you:
1. Start a Personal Project: Analyze public datasets and publish your findings; 2. Volunteer for a Non-Profit: Offer to analyze data for local charities; 3. Freelance Small Tasks: Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr offer small tasks that can make you have great testimonials and some work;
An example from Financial Services:
1. Analyze your government open-source data to identify trends in consumer spending; 2. Share your insights on LinkedIn or a personal blog. This could be done in a day and highlights your analytical skills.
Remember, employers value critical thinking and problem-solving over memorization.
Skills are proven through action, not certificates.
