Data Analyst resume example
A data analyst resume proves you can turn a question into a decision. Show the question, the method and what changed because of your answer.
Skills to list
- SQL
- Excel
- Python (pandas)
- Tableau or Power BI
- A/B testing
- Data cleaning
- Dashboards
- Statistics
- Stakeholder reporting
List only the skills you have. Use the same words as the job post so applicant tracking systems can match them.
Example bullet points
- Built a weekly retention dashboard used by 12 managers; it replaced three manual spreadsheets.
- Found a 14% drop in sign-up conversion on mobile and traced it to a form error; the fix recovered the loss.
- Wrote SQL that joined five source tables and cut month-end reporting from two days to two hours.
- Ran an A/B test on pricing copy with 30,000 visitors and recommended the winning variant.
- Standardised metric definitions across sales and finance, ending recurring number disputes.
These are sample lines. Replace the numbers and tools with your own. Never claim a result you did not deliver.
Tips
- State the business result, not only the chart you made.
- List tools in a short skills block, and prove the key ones in bullets.
- Add a link to a public dashboard or notebook if you can share one.
