Hello everyone!
I would like to ask for help/mentorship. I’ve been having a hard year to land a job and data analytics or something related to analysis but I’ve had a hard time. I’ve tried to reach out to people in Linkedin, who are data analyst or recruiters in various industries to ask for help I have not received any responses. I’ve also trieto apply to entry level positions, but keep getting rejected. I feel like I’m getting nowhere and really want to speak to someone that can help guide me.

I think your chances will increase once you get the industry cert. it’s a pretty tough job market at the moment. Would recommend trying to get on board with Gen AI.

There’s a few out there. Microsoft has a good one that isn’t too difficult

What do you guys think, do recruiters share the real salary/range or are they sharing the low-end range for leverage? Or both?

And does being an internal or external recruiter influence how they approach salary transparency in the early screening/interview phase?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
