How I Became a Data Analyst

[@zaidsada6841]

Fantastic stuff. I’m working in a similar position working as a data analyst within an investment division. Key tools I use are Excel, SQL Server, PowerPoint and PowerBI. Also good presentation skills along with design & creativity are important to ensure you get your message across.

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Oh yes presentation skills are so important ☝🏼

[@darthvader875]

what do you mean by that? Do we have to explain everything after doing all the mining, cleaning, and visualization?

[@tintegion488]

Great video, very nice to watch and amazing audio clarity. Also I will soon use the STAR layout for my cv!

Hey Junaid, Actually the video is excellent because of the stuff provided by you. Even the video Is like a professional view but what I felt like the bgm was dominating your voice even and u can increase the light in the video...

[@easycubing404]

Extremely informative; thanks for sharing the tips

[@nandiniduggal4865]

Hi Junaid, amazing video, I’ve always been interested in the data science field, and working full time as a data analyst. But I have a few questions about the same. It would mean so much to me if I could have 20 minutes of your time and discuss those questions. And again, thanks for the great content 😊

[@moojogaming7282]

Hi nandini

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Of course I can shoot me any questions via preferably LinkedIn or Instagram, happy to help!

[@irohaemmanuellawrence2520]

Clear and concise, you've got you a follow

[@addarzful]

Assalamo alaikum Thank you very much for sharing your experience and advice with us. I completed my Masters in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence from University of Liverpool back in 2021. Since that time I have been applying for Data Science jobs such as data scientist, data analyst but couldn't get yet, infact not even a single interview call. I already hold tech skills such as python, sql, power bi, excel, machine learning, little bit of deep learning and did projects in them but still have no idea what could be the reason for not getting a single call after applying to 600+ companies. After I completed my Masters, I shifted to London in 2021 with the hope of getting a job here but still waiting for it. I only manage to get odd jobs just to cover my expenses but none of the odd jobs provide any sponsorship in future. I am already in psw which would expire by early mid of 2024 so I am really tensed now.

[@junaid_ahmed_]

If you’ve genuinely applied to over 600+ roles I’d look at overhauling your application process using the WSO CV template. You really shouldn’t have trouble landing a role with an MSc in Data Science and AI

[@addarzful]

Yes I know despite having degree and skills, still I couldn't get a single interview call. I applied to some of them through LinkedIn, some through indeed and some through their own websites. I had been applying and applying since 3rd quarter of 2021 especially when I shifted to London. Can you again explain that what did you mean by "overhauling the application process"?

[@lahinahmed4921]

​@@addarzful hi, have got job in your field?

[@learningNexus23]

This video so inspiring. Thank you bro

[@MANANSHAYKH]

YOU DID NOT SUGGEST FOR POWER BI WHY THAT SO one more question I am average in mathematics hence can I still become good in data analyst.?

[@pannagap4241]

Hi which is the best video or course to learn Excel for data analyst

[@RajuKhan-qy5fr]

Hey, if we have any query, how we can connect with you? Please reply.

[@miluthakur5205]

Hi Junaid, first of you give me hope that I can be one of data analyst. But the thing is how to get into this field without having work experience. How to reach out people so that at least they interview us.

[@Aryan-07]

Hey could you tell me what topics of statistics you think very important for this role and where you analyze the data?

[@C_E_0]

Any opinion on Googles Data Analytics Cert Program? I’m still toward the beginnings of the Program, but I’ve already learned that it will only cover some of Excel and focus mainly on R. No Python, SQL, Tableau, or even Power BI.

[@Omar-Asim]

It does have Excel, SQL, Tableau & R but it's not in depth, you won't feel job ready at all by the end of the program. There's too much fluff and not enough focus on these skills and their practice.

[@bilalnizami3649]

Can I switch my job to data analytics learning skills?

[@historyhub845]

Hi hope you are doing great junaid. I want to know about something & I will appreciate if you provide me some right guidance as well as suggestions. I have completed my Bachelor's & my major was management. Now! I want to study Data Analyst but my cgpa is low it’s 2.70 from a national university. My bachelor degree was a professional degree which is mostly known as professional BBA. I heard from some random individuals that 2.70 cgpa is low to do Master’s in Data analyst & suggested me to do Post graduate diploma in Data analyst. Now I want to know is it possible to do PGD in Data analyst with low cgpa? and if possible can I do Master’s in Data Analyst with this cgpa. My heart will fill up with joy if you take some time to answer my doubts. Thank you in advance!

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Honestly I’d apply to both if possible, both postgrad dip and masters. Learn Python and SQL in your own time along the way.

[@Ali-bk1hr]

Hey Junaid, I come from a Business studies backgorund and I only have a GCSE math background but I have learned all the technical skills like sql etc. Do I need to learn more advanced maths for this?

[@ramiboy_y2049]

Cool video. Any helpful resource or actual projects that helps you with the necessaire experience in excel?, given the low % of internships available. Enterprises usually ask for a lot of experience but dont provide the opportunities to do so.

[@adwaitranjith5240]

Hey Junaid, i am university student majoring in Business Administration and aspiring to become a Business analyst. I am applying for internships this summer and i am clueless as to what kind of internships would give me greater practical knowledge and guide me a step closer to achieve my goal. could you please give me some intern job titles where i will be taught about these skills.

[@datasciencearabic]

Thank you for this wonderful video I am a math teacher and I want to change my career to data analysis and I am 35 years old. Is it still too early to take lessons in this field and how long will it take me? knowing that my level is good in programming and SQL.

[@michaeljohnmagistrado1166]

Hello, I'm a former web designer trying to get into data analytics. I've seen others recommend power bi or tableau. Do you use any of those tools?

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Power BI yes, tableau not as much. However the more bases you can cover will only increase your chances of landing a role. So my advice, learn both, it isn’t impossible🙂

I have done my graduation from B. A (economic+geography) , may I eligible for jobs in data science after learning. Skills likes sql, advance excel, power bi, paython etc. Or I have to struggle to get a job?

[@arhamshaikh973]

Hey Junaid, great video! I'm in uni at the moment looking to steer towards a career in Data/Financial Analysis and was wondering if it would be more useful to major in Economics or Finance as a major with Data as my minor? Again, thank you

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Both are equally as good, it would depend on what sector you want to work in. Again you’ll learn great transferable skills from both Economics or Finance.

what about power bi or tableau?

I don’t use tableau as much in my role, but Power BI yes after Excel, Python and SQL. Tools used are largely role-specific

[@rubigineux]

Thanks for the tips ! What do you think of people who have no background in science/finance/economy ? In my case, I have a master in law and I'm 31. The only link I have with science is my A level in science, but that's irrelevant and it was a long time ago. I'm currently studying data science and statistics through different courses and watching videos like yours on the internet. But to be fair, finding an internship at my age in France is quite impossible. So my question is, have you seen this kind of unconventional profile near you ? Thank you again

[@entertainingshorts24]

You will find such examples on some Indian KZbin channels like E-learning Bridge, Technical Suneja etc. I have 1 linkedin connection who become Machine learning engineer with Bachelor of Arts degree.

Thankyou in Advance!

[@junaid_ahmed_]

Yes, it’s possible, and can take anywhere from 8 months to a year. With no prior knowledge I’d recommend starting off with building Excel skills, and when comfortable add Python and SQL. Then I’d definitely recommend an online bootcamp to solidify your foundation in data.

Hello Junaid, you content is super amazing and informative. However, you seem to be inconsistent in the content posting and Video editing. I know you're swamped with work and must have busy days. So for these reasons, I want to be part of your journey and would like to help you in all aspects of social media work from editing to increasing views.
