Resume not working? This might be the problem


I've seen hundreds of data analysts struggle to get a single interview, and I've also seen the resumes that some of my mentees made.

They all say the same thing (and that is the exact reason why they come up to me and say that they're not getting calls):

"I've learned Python.
I've got my SQL certification.
I've built dashboards in Tableau."

Most of you are focusing on the tools rather than the results.

Employers aren't looking for people who can build dashboards—they want to know what that dashboard does for the company. Does it save time? Boost efficiency? Cut costs? Improve sales?

No:
"Built a sales dashboard that improved efficiency."

Yes:
"Created a sales dashboard that reduced reporting time by 30%, using XYZ."

It's not enough to just say you did something.
Explain how you approached the problem, the decisions you made, and the outcomes you achieved. You also get extra points if you identify flaws in your work and how you solved them. That's a story.

And, in resumes, you must Tell your story, not show your grocery list.

Most people focus on what they did.
Most companies focus on what you can do.
