Data Analyst Resume Examples | Data Analyst Resume Sample

Key Takeaways

having well-written to Zuma is extremely important to increase the chance of getting an interview call in this video I'm going to share some resume ratings tips for the position of data analyst I hope created a sample resume here using some fake data but it will give you an idea on the structure of the resume in the first thing is your name and your contact information you want to specify your phone number and email so that HR can communicate with you using those contact details then comes a link of a github account ideally won't you want to have some data analytic projects uploaded on your github account so that if the interviewer want to do a prior review of your project and code it kind of helps so it's important to have github account linked nowadays you can also have your LinkedIn account link so if your LinkedIn account is good it has some good reviews that will also be a little bit helpful then comes a section for your professional summary if you are fresher then you can include two or three lines about your education etc but if you're experienced you can specify your experience the industries that you have worked in and some of the major tools that you have used or some of the major accomplishments this should not be more than I would say four lines because you don't have a full paragraph in your professional summary then comes skills section this is an important section you want to categorize your skills into different categories so here I have programming visualization database and soft skills if you have some random skills then you can have other skills section as well where you can put whatever other skills you have programming nowadays is very important for data analyst or and if an employer sees things like python r SQL it will highly increase the chance of you getting an interview call in terms of visualization tableau power B FBI Sai sense any visualization tools that you have and then having database skills is always helpful then comes certification and our section so let's say if you have done any certification online or in the university you want to mention it if you have won any awards in your past companies or in college then mention them this is rare but sometimes people contribute to open source so contributing to open source having a good rank on stackoverflow all these things will matter so much so if you say okay I have this much Stack Overflow rank and I have contributed to open source and let's say Phi of my pull requests were accepted then it will give a solid impression on on the employer and it will highly increase the chance of getting an interview call then comes your experience in the experience you want to mention the time duration then the company that you work with your location and your role then comes few highlights about your work at that specific company now often at her notice that people write paragraphs and paragraphs and they do not have any concrete details you need to have concrete details in this section so all those highlighted words in the bold those are concrete details okay I'm saying that I classified documents using Python tesseract and regular expressions and it improved the SLA for classification from 50 minute to 2 minute this is showing my concrete achievement in that work okay I'm not writing a big paragraph describing a project I've seen so many resumes people describe the projects they do not write their own contribution to that project okay this is my own contribution my own ROI like company invested some money in me and what return I gave back to that company similarly highlight all the tools and technologies that you use right here I use Excel vlookup chi-square normal T distribution which shows that I have some statistics skills then I have some skills of removing outliers using Python and pandas so think from the perspective of your interviewer that person is always looking for these kind of key words in your resume okay so you need to highlight those key word and mention them I also walked with engineering team and business team using scrum and agile mythology methodology scrum and agile is a process of doing software development it applies to other areas of non software development as well but often time data analysts would be working with engineering team and business teams and they'll be using scrum so if you write something like this it shows that you know how to work in agile framework and you know how to do team work etc so not only you have technical skills such as visualization programming etcetera you know how to work on a big software project or big data analytics type of project using scrum then comes our next company it has a similar format but again here you see some concrete details when it says that I retrieved 2 million records and analyze them in Jupiter not book it shows that you know how to handle a humongous volume of data and you have those not book skills where you can clean data visualize etcetera then again here you are saying that the validations which was the result of my analytics work saved my company 1.5 million dollar having this kind of line makes a solid impression because you are showing the end impact of your work so if you have your resume as a data analyst please check your resume it do you have this kind of concrete details does it show the direct impact that you made by your work if not then you should rephrase those words and sentences here also another thing I did worked in web traffic data analytics which resulted in to 25% traffic in Greece and 10% selling sales increase so again this is showing a key metric of my work then comes education so in a and education you want to mention your university your degree and your GPA I've seen people mention education at the very beginning so mentioning education in the beginning is good for for a fresher resume a but if you have if you are already experienced I would suggest you put education towards the end because once you are experienced then interviewer is interested in your actual hands-on experience right he's not interested in your degree that much now couple of things to remember your resume should not go beyond to page once you have 3 page 4 page 5 page resume it it it makes a negative impression actually you should be able to highlight all your work in two pages only ok also do not add any personal details I have seen people adding their marital status gender home location hobbies etc especially in India people had all those details just imagine if I am interviewing some person I don't care about whether the person is having a cricket as a hobby or not right his home location gender marital status those things are irrelevant hence you should not mention them when other tip is you can customize your resume a as per the job application so sometimes if you are let's say I am applying in Amazon and I am applying in Google now both the positions have different slightly different requirements so then look at the Job Description and whatever skills that they need try to highlight those in your resume a so it is perfectly okay to customize or twit your resume a based on the position that you are applying to alright that's all I had for this video I am going to put a link of this sample resume a in the description below so that you can and download the resume a and feel free to use it if you want to just use this as a template then download it and just fill in your details and start using this resume
