Tips for data and analytics resumes

  • Name your tools (SQL, Python, Excel, Power BI, Tableau) and the size of the data you worked with.
  • Give one or two results in numbers: a report that saved time, a model's accuracy, a decision it changed.
  • Link a portfolio, Kaggle or GitHub with real analyses.
  • Before you apply, paste the job advert into Dossier4u's ATS check: it lists the skills, years and qualifications the advert asks for that your resume does not show yet.
