      Can you give me any advice on how to get into this field? I have an MBA and my most recent job was being a program administrator in a university. I'm taking some courses on UDemy to learn more about Cognos and I have a bit of coding experience. I'm going to learn Python soon for analytics. on Udemy. Any suggestions would be great.

      @@dec23 Sure... you can start with some statistics, which I'm sure you know about. There are other mathematical concepts you need to know how to apply, such as regression analysis, interpolation, extrapolation... etc. Those can come in handy when dealing with quantitative data.
      Dealing with qualitative data is different, it can be a lot simpler when using categorized data, but when the data you need is imbedded in a free text, or open questions, it can be more complicated.
      In Python, Pandas, Numpy and Matplotlib are the standard libraries for data analysis. You can also use geopandas if you like to work with geographic data.
      The hardest part of the job is explaining what you do to some managers who have absolutely no idea what data analysis is or its basics.

    One thing people fail to tell aspiring Data Analysts is that you might not even use the tools as much as you expect. Take my job for example. We primarily use SQL, Tableau and Excel. But the SQL codes we regularly use are already documented. All you need is the SQL knowledge to be able to tweek the already existing code. And with Tableau guess what? The tables have already been created by a guy on the DBA team so all i do is go to Data Tab - Extract - Refresh and then just convert the table to Excel sheet and submit. I don't create anything in tableau. I just need a working knowledge to update and print tables. Some jobs might be different from mine though. What i though I'd be doing is waaaaayyyyyy different from what i am doing. I was expecting to get raw data, clean it (with any tool i want) and visualize it in Tableau. Or use SSRS to create reports. But i do none of that. But on the flip side it's still essential to know the tools through and through because you never know when a shake up will occur that will require you to build the tableau reports/tables, SSRS reports/write you SQL codes from the ground up.

    as a data analyst, I think the hardest part is knowing the problem that you want to solve and how to solve it with data. Because sometimes, the business person doesn't know the problem, and then you'll be asked to search in the data to find those problems.

      Data analytics is focused on finding solutions. If by data acquisition you mean setting up the backend to source the data and get it structured into a system, this isn't something that's usually found in a data analyst job (though sometimes in data scientist roles - or at least skills expected). There are times you'll need to seek out the data you need to accomplish the task you have if it isn't already loaded into one of the systems you're using.

    I'd like to model some productivity and revenue numbers to actually see the Pereto Principle that is in effect, and from that find the optimum revenue and productivity.
    I also think it's an IT issue to move from manual productivity tracking to automated productivity tracking. I've seen administrative tasks increase to points where less field work is able to be performed because the field staff are not able to use the manual tracking applications such as where to look for information on a project, filling in their timesheet with work, travel time, mileage, and report prep, and finally their service orders with attached reports. The human-err factor is multiplied per interaction per iteration along with skill gap issues.
    Most of the time, admin staff are correcting errors in the tracking, but staff continue to make the same errors.
    I'd like to learn how to prepare data that can be presented to management to be able to address these kinds of issues and more.

    • @TheCareerForce
      @TheCareerForce  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You raise many good points here. There's a lot of benefit to tracking and adding data to many aspects of business. ("What gets measured gets managed" is a quote I've heard in many businesses). What many people don't acknowledge is that this can often lead to a temporary decrease in performance because there's so much time spent manually tracking activities. That's fine when management recognizes this as a step on the growth curve, but it's often treated as "do this on top of what you're already doing". This is a great place for apps and other intelligent technology to come in - for people that are traveling to job site - apps that automatically record their time / mileage based on geofencing, etc.
      Sampling may be a good approach here so that it gives the data needed to take action without overburdening everyone to collect it constantly. In parallel, work on identifying / creating the IT tools needed to automate these activities to provide a longer term solution.

      This might be a difficult transition for you to make, but it's possible. Without knowing more about your work experience, it seems like you'll need to build most of the analytics skills from scratch so the transition may take some time. One angle you could take is to look specifically for sales analytics positions so you can leverage your past sales knowledge and experience.

Even the less math-heavy positions (such as a reporting analyst) still rely on algebra and basic statistics since the base of any data-related position is going to involve a lot of numbers. If you want to try building up your math skills, one way to approach it would be to treat math as learning a foreign language written in shorthand. A lot of math really is a logical problem that has defined logic tied to each symbol. This isn't going to suddenly make math a breeze to learn, but the approach might make it more relatable and comfortable.

More important than that, which I do not think she touched on, is the ability to think logically and critically. Critical thinking and Logic formulation is often bypassed in schools and universities because it seems apparent but most people don’t know it’s salience or how to develop logic process flow.

    Hello,
    I am currently pursing my MBA, and I have to choose a specialisation in my final year. I have an option to choose “Information systems “ which includes the following subjects;
    1. Information systems challenges in Management
    2. Business System Analysis
    3.Business Process Management
    My concern is that I don’t have any IT background , and I am afraid I might not do well on this subject.
    I would be grateful if you could suggest or guide me.
    Thank you

    • @TheCareerForce
      @TheCareerForce  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This could be a good specialization if you want to go into Data Analysis or Business Analysis. In many cases, these types of specializations aren't very IT heavy. They are usually more focused on how the topics apply to management and business. Even if you could get better grades on another specialization, the skills for this area will help in Business or Data Analysis. These classes might be a little harder for you, but that doesn't mean they are a bad choice!

      Your background in math would be a good fit for analytics. With your teaching experience, I suspect you're good at explaining things which will suit you well in understanding analysis and explaining it to others. You might need to brush up on some stats (especially around regression analysis, etc) and also supplement with programming or analytics tools if you're not already familiar with them.

    Hello. Great video! I am looking at the Data Analyst/Science field but not sure if its a good fit for me. I have been a QA tester in the Logistics and Manufacturing Industry for the past 2 years. I don't have a technical background, but am pretty decent with SQL. I have a BA in Elementary Education. They offer an Intro to Data Science course at the local community college for around $900. I've also been looking at Full Stack Development bootcamps at UNC Charlotte that 3 or 6 months for $10,500. Big decisions. Any advice?

    • @TheCareerForce
      @TheCareerForce  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The intro to data science course could be a starting point to see how interested you are in the field. It's likely that's all it be good for though... Without knowing specifics, those courses rarely go into enough depth to learn what you need to learn. If you're in NC (assuming UNC Charlotte is local-ish for you), you're in a great hotspot for SAS jobs. Their headquarters are over in Cary. Your experience with SQL will make SAS fairly easy for you to learn and there are a lot of manufacturers that use SAS so that part of your background could be handy. If it's a transition you're seriously considering, I do analytics career coaching and could work with you to put together a detailed plan for building skills and experience.

    I'm not very good with Math. But as far as I can tell about SQL language and some ETL stuff, it usually goes around : SUM/AVG/COUNT.. lol.
    Don't worry too much about data cleaning, there are very good Extract/Transform/Load program nowadays, I like PENTAHO, it's free and very easy to use (regexp helps a lot). The hard part is to understand your Data and what you can tell (stories) with them. You didn't mention in the video that you have to master DBA knowledge : a star schema is useful ... and you will have to build one from scratch.

    • @TheCareerForce
      @TheCareerForce  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You're definitely right that understanding your data is critical. Data cleaning tools are helpful and knowing the data itself will make you much better at data cleaning.
      It's interesting that you mention DBA knowledge. My first reaction was to disagree (I think of this more for data scientist than data analyst), but then I realized I approach the same thing from a math instead of a programming perspective. The DBA knowledge that's important for analysts could also be referenced as set theory knowledge - how different sets of data connect and interact with each other. I'm glad you mentioned it!
