If you can't find a data role, follow this path (that I tried and tested):

📍 1. Get skills (Excel, SQL, Power BI)
📍 2. Build projects
📍 3. Get a semi-data role (any role that only needs basic data skills e.g. Excel)

Heres what you should use your data skills for in this role:

📍 1. Help your team (eg. automate reports, build dashboards)
📍 2. Add this experience to your resume
📍 3. Share this experience online

This allows you to gain real world experience while practicing your skills
