I'm wondering if you already had a college degree (doesn't matter what) going into Analytics that gave you a bit of an advantage over someone with no degree. I do see some job post that don't emphasize a degree, but most do seem to prefer one.
@IanKlosowicz4 күн бұрын
I did not have a degree. Still don’t. I would actually still apply to jobs that mention one as there is still a chance! As long as you try to contact someone outside of just applying as well
@eringoriginal87144 күн бұрын
@IanKlosowicz Thank you! That is reassuring. I had planned on applying anyway because, as you said it is a numbers game! Your resume advice was VERY helpful. I'm much older than you are and have been a job hopper most of my life trying new things always looking for a career that clicked but didn't require college. I'm not the kind of person that can work full time and go to school full time (certainly tried), and was never able to get enough financing to go without working. I've always been a gypsy wanderer type and have done tons of research over the last 20 years. It wasn't until a few months ago that I saw a video on Data Analytics, and looked more into it that I realized this would be a really good fit for me. Your video definitely helped put things in perspective (I have started on the Google Analytics course) but realized during one session; rabbit hole (SQL link) that perhaps I should focus on more specifics.

Thank you for these insights, Ian! May I ask what you consider to be a good way to reach out to recruiters? I've tried a few times, but their responses (if any) are usually along the lines of: 'We will review your profile, and if there is a fit, we will get in touch. Thank you, have a good day.' Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@IanKlosowiczАй бұрын
So getting a reply is the toughest part but when it's a reply at all, I would follow up on it. Give it a couple of days and ask if they reviewed it yet. I'm sure you can come up with a better response haha but keep track of them in a spreadsheet to regularly follow up. Other than that, reach out to EVERY recruiter within the company and ask if they are the correct one for that particular job listing. Your goal should be to get into contact with the right one at first and then you can ask if they have seen your resume come through

Hey! I’m no resume expert and not the biggest fan on GitHub for portfolios. I’d suggest building a great looking portfolio on Maven Analytics (it’s free). At least that would be my suggestion and then for resume, try to replicate formatting with what you find in google. Use ChatGPT to help with words and put it in your own words

Because most entry level positions do not require it. Sure some do but majority do not. It’s going to take you just as long to learn Python as it does to use Excel, SQL, and a big tool.

And this link shows up when I use laptop, but I don't see it on a smartphone. Is it right? 2. I can see a project we added first, it will be shown up first. Wondering we can custom the order of projects I want to be shown up first, second, ..? Thanks
