how to get your first Data Analyst role?

Dec 2, 2019 7 Comments

Hey guys!

Recently, ive been interested in the DA career path so I took up courses to learn the basics,like SQL, Python, and Data Analysis. My question is how can i get my foot in the door in this field within the Bay Area.

It is internship? Reaching out to smaller companies to volunteer?

Thank you so much!

    As a Business Analyst switching to DA shouldn't be too hard. You will need to tailor your resume according and make SQL your best friend. DM if you have any questions, happy to help!

    Personally, I cannot tell the difference between business analyst and data analyst... there are many roles sharing similar skill sets. I would recommend to get more connections on LinkedIn, say professionals and recruiters— getting into the circle.

    I would also learn a BI reporting tool. Like Tableau, Datastudio, and/or Looker
