Hi, I’m struggling to land an entry-level data analytics role despite having skills in Tableau, Power BI, Excel, SQL, Python, and R, along with project experience and an Information Systems degree. Many roles ask for experience I don’t have, and I’m finding it hard to stand out. Any advice on breaking into the field, networking, or certifications that helped you would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Entry level roles are so hard to find right now because this job market sucks. People are having to take entry level roles when they have years of experience. I would definitely suggest trying to get a referral to help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

it is so crazy that firms want senior level skillsets at an entry level pay. they don't want to pay a senior rate. are you looking on indeed or flexjobs? can you customize your resume to show where/how you've used those tools? ensure those keywords and tools are in your resume. many now use automated tools to scan resumes searching on keywords, so a human isn't even seeing the resume.
