Data analyst resume questions
What do I put first on a data analyst resume?
Put your tools right under your objective, like Excel, SQL and Power BI. Then list your work or project lines.
Which skills should I pick for a data analyst resume?
Pick the tools the post names, like Excel or SQL. Add one skill about explaining results in plain English. Only list what you can do in a small test.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Patrick-Yuchengco-Resume.pdf.
