I would like to change jobs. Almost every organisation needs an analyst, hence why I would like to learn more about data analysis.
Does anyone know about good free data analysis courses that can be done remotely? Or even something that is relatively cheap. I would like to avoid paying an university level fee for a course that might not guarantee me a job.

My favourite is:

you’ve built dashboards for finance, but ours are for marketing. How would you handle that transition?

Hi everyone! 👋

I've been working in IT for years, and I'm currently learning SQL with the goal of becoming a Data Analyst.

I'm still a beginner in SQL, but I'm excited to learn and build practical projects.

For those already working in data analytics, what would you recommend focusing on first to become job-ready?

I'd love to hear your experiences and advice. Thanks! 🙌

I have been working for 3 years and the project work been given is to make sure the new structure is creating new records for another department.
I am having great difficulty into finding a way to produce this work using Python pyspark because although I have the information on the schema and prototype structure of how it looks like.
I don’t have the actual data as it is in the pipeline of slowly transiting to the new structure.
With all the work learning data science at university and coding I feel that being at that organisation that I still feel I know nothing, it’s concerning for me and I understand change is always frequent but I feel that I am losing control hence feeling it’s a matter of time that i people see my anxiety and weakness.
Can anyone share there experiences and how did you overcome this?

They do require SQL and power bi knowledge which I have but to what extent will the technical assessment go? What kind of questions?

As for the domain knowledge, I almost have none in credit risk? That's the one which worries me the most?

What kind of questions are typical?

I'm about to go through the basics of financial statements and basics of the business but I would like some advice and general

Thanks

Hi everyone, I am looking for some tips on expanding my resume.

For background, I have a Bachelors in Finance and currently work a Finance job in the defense sector. However, I also have a Masters in Data Science. I have experience in RStudio, SQL, and Tableau from schooling. I am also working on improving my Python skills. I have also done some coding/data projects in my current job to provide process improvements for my team. However, I can’t do those super often as I have the everyday tasks that I need to complete and prevent me from working on side projects.

I am currently employed, but my fiancé is being relocated to another state with the military in the summer, and my company does not have an office in this state. I am currently trying to expand my resume outside of my “day job” and am looking for recommendations. Skills, projects, etc. I did not think just any project outside of work could be put on a resume since you typically want to provide results.

I want to learn data analytics. Where do I start? Any resources and recommendations that can help are most welcome.

I've been applying for Junior Analytics Engineer, Junior Data Engineer, and mid-level Data Analyst roles for quite some time, but I haven't had much luck getting interviews.

I know referrals are one of the most effective ways to get noticed, but I don't have a strong professional network to rely on, so most of my applications are through LinkedIn, email, and online job postings.

Anyway, getting to the point.

I'm aware that my experience might look a bit short on paper, but my roles were fixed-term contracts, and my internships were only 2–3 months long by design. They weren't intended to lead to full-time positions.

I'd appreciate some honest, constructive criticism of my resume. If you were a recruiter or hiring manager, what would make you reject my application or decide not to shortlist me for an interview?

I'm particularly interested in things I'm overlooking, whether that's how I've presented my experience, my technical skills, the projects I've included, the roles I'm targeting, or something else entirely.

Please don't focus on the short duration of my previous roles, as I've already addressed that. I'm looking for feedback on other potential red flags or weaknesses that might be holding me back.

I'd rather know what's actually wrong than hear generic advice about networking or tailoring my resume.

What should I put in my resume when I am in contract. I have an agency/vendor(staffing) but work for a well-known company should I put Company(Client) via (Agency)? I am confused about what the right format is.

I'm an electrical engineering intern at an electric utility company, and they've basically told me that there's a possibility of getting a job offer if I work hard, show initiative, and prove that I'm capable of adding value.

The department I'm working in has some serious problems when it comes to quality control, performance monitoring, and inefficient workflows. They seem to lack people with strong analytical and technical skills who can build systems to monitor performance, identify problems, and improve existing processes.

So far, I've been learning Power BI and Excel to tackle some of these issues. For example, I've built dashboards to identify duplicate accounts, missions that were closed prematurely, and other performance-related problems. They've seemed pretty impressed with what I've done so far.

However, lately, I find myself showing up to work with very little to do. I feel like I've reached the point where simply building more dashboards and Excel reports isn't going to be enough to make a genuinely significant impact.

I want to go beyond making things look better in a dashboard. I want to build actual systems, automate workflows, identify root causes, improve processes, and solve problems that save the company time and money.

I already have some basic Python knowledge, and I'm willing to put in the work to learn whatever is necessary.

My question is: What skills would you recommend I focus on if my goal is to become genuinely valuable as an engineer in this kind of environment?

What would you do in my position?
