Dan, this is a lovely video. I am transitioning into data and so many “become a data analyst” videos are very overwhelming and make me feel as though I will never be able to get a job unless I have been coding in python for 5 years. Your demeanor and humility are very refreshing. Thank you.
I completed 1 of 8 Certificates with Google. I know that once I'm done. I would need to build portfolio. I wonder how is the applying and getting a real interview process is really like.
If you are taking the Google Data Analytics Course, the last section goes through the process of building a portfolio and applying for jobs. I found that section the most helpful for what you are looking for!
@@data_with_dan Thanks for the info! I'm taking step by step process and hoping to get my next certificate faster than the first. Also planned ahead taking few days off work so focus in and dedicate time I want.
Hey Dan thats an amazing video Wanted some advice from you Recently i finished learning Excel, Powebi, tableau and SQL Im not proficient in all of this what should be my next step? And further how should i approach
Thank you! I’d say do a a few projects that encompass each of these skills and then focus on developing one of these at a time. These are all great skills to have so you can’t go wrong really on which one you focus on first. I usually suggest Excel as the first, just because being efficient in this skills translates to a lot of data jobs and other similar fields since it’s a common tool. Best of luck to you in your journey!
Hey, I'm in final year of my college and i want to enter in the data analytics field. Currently I'm learning libraries and SQL. Can you please tell me what things should i learn to land a job.
That’s great to hear! I’d say focus on SQL for now since that’s what you are currently on and focus on completing a couple of projects. Start with the easy techniques and build off of it as you learn more. After that I’d say the best one to focus on is Excel since it is a skill that can be used in a wide range of data jobs. Best of luck to you!
I gained insight too, very inspiring. I am a beginner in the field of data analytics and I started off with excel. And just like Dan suggested in this video, cleaning, organizing and prepping data are what I am on currently.... and yet exploring the entire field of data analytics. I would love to connect to you Mr Dan, I know it will be of great good when I do so.
