I did not have a degree. Still don’t. I would actually still apply to jobs that mention one as there is still a chance! As long as you try to contact someone outside of just applying as well

@IanKlosowicz Thank you! That is reassuring. I had planned on applying anyway because, as you said it is a numbers game! Your resume advice was VERY helpful. I'm much older than you are and have been a job hopper most of my life trying new things always looking for a career that clicked but didn't require college. I'm not the kind of person that can work full time and go to school full time (certainly tried), and was never able to get enough financing to go without working. I've always been a gypsy wanderer type and have done tons of research over the last 20 years. It wasn't until a few months ago that I saw a video on Data Analytics, and looked more into it that I realized this would be a really good fit for me. Your video definitely helped put things in perspective (I have started on the Google Analytics course) but realized during one session; rabbit hole (SQL link) that perhaps I should focus on more specifics.

You’re the first one! If you connect and shoot me a DM on LinkedIn, I’ll send you my ebook (if you don’t have it already)

Not much to tweak here besides leaning your projects towards your domain. Try to look for specific datasets that are relevant to that industry!

Thanks for replying! I've started with Excel! Amazing course

It's not easy doing the courses together at the same time lol I am struggling with time management... Or should I have done them one by one and only move to the next one when I've finished Excel 🥲

Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful as that's my main goal. Hope to see you around in the other videos :)

Best of luck! I too became a marketing analyst as my first data job. I really enjoyed it

This video is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 ​@@IanKlosowicz

Awesome! Hope it helps you get there.

My first data job was a salary at $60k. I understood this was under the average of what I could make but it was higher than my hourly job and I knew once I got my foot in the door, my salary would keep increasing

So getting a reply is the toughest part but when it's a reply at all, I would follow up on it. Give it a couple of days and ask if they reviewed it yet. I'm sure you can come up with a better response haha but keep track of them in a spreadsheet to regularly follow up. Other than that, reach out to EVERY recruiter within the company and ask if they are the correct one for that particular job listing. Your goal should be to get into contact with the right one at first and then you can ask if they have seen your resume come through

​@@IanKlosowicz Thank you, Ian, for taking the time to reply!

Glad you're enjoying them!

Thanks for watching friend! Any part you are struggling with specifically?

@@IanKlosowicz can I message you in LinkedIn?

Thanks man!

This is what I will teach the world!

Thanks for stopping by! Yea I ended up moving and FT job got busy… expect to see more videos!

Hey! I’m no resume expert and not the biggest fan on GitHub for portfolios. I’d suggest building a great looking portfolio on Maven Analytics (it’s free). At least that would be my suggestion and then for resume, try to replicate formatting with what you find in google. Use ChatGPT to help with words and put it in your own words

@@IanKlosowicz thank you Ian, i've been applying and can't even get a phone screen. Got to keep my head up, signed up to Maven and getting to work. Just feel discouraged sometimes because i've been putting in the time

@@jaredbisla8723​​⁠yea it definitely sucks sometimes. In reality it could be down to luck. I know people who took 2 months to land a job and others where it took 8 months. Chances are it’s not your fault

It doesn’t matter your background. Anyone can become a data analyst. I was a warehouse worker before my first data job (without a degree) :)

Hey sorry for the late reply! So yes it wasn’t always like this, but you can keep a list of who you connected with and when they accept, reach out to them. Not the most efficient way but it’s really the only way since LinkedIn did that..

My pleasure! 😊

Because most entry level positions do not require it. Sure some do but majority do not. It’s going to take you just as long to learn Python as it does to use Excel, SQL, and a big tool.

@@IanKlosowicz Thanks for the reassurance. That's good news for a beginner like me 😁

Hey! Well I can answer that yes it is possible to become a data analyst as I didn’t have any formal education. Now the answer to should you make the career change, that is completely up to you to find out since you know your life best

Thanks!

My pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yay! Thanks for that! Hope to help you more along the way

Of course!

Hey! The checklist is within the welcome email when you sign up for the newsletter. Check the spam folder in case you don't see it. You will also receive a free ebook in there as well!

It's such a great way to stand out if you are truly passionate about a certain industry. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Hmm I am only speaking from what I have personally seen, I have never seen a requirement include libreoffice sheets. I would definitely shift to Excel if I were you

@@IanKlosowicz thank you for the response! Have a great day

You’re welcome 😊

Nice! Always good to get validation that you are doing the right thing with so much info out there!

Adding it to the list! Thanks for the input!

So in the description you can sign up for the newsletter and it will be in the welcome email. Please check spam if you don't see it!

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching

Haha no worries! If you sign up for my newsletter it will be in the welcome email and you can make a copy of the sheet. Make sure to check spam!

1. It should show up on mobile too! I'm not too sure why that is happening... 2. Yes you can change the order. When you are logged in click your name at the top right and click "View Portfolio", after that you will see "Change Order" on the left side of your portfolio.

Glad you found value! Hopefully you have a nice and clean portfolio now
