Since graduating with my Master of Business Analytics in July, I’ve been struggling to find a job, and I’m concerned that this might continue for a while. I’m looking for advice on how I can make the most of this time to improve my skills or boost my employability (e.g., online projects, certifications, etc.).

My studies focused on statistical analysis, such as GLM, using tools like Python, R, and SAS.

Any advice, suggestions, or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Don’t focus on your technical skills, focus on your business understanding skills.
What did you study as an undergrad or have work experience in? Were there any interesting business problems you could have solved with analytics? Perhaps you can leverage your non analytics experience as inspiration for a portfolio of work / research to showcase your understanding of an area.

I’ve been published for some thoughts on cybersecurity, but it’s was in a smaller IT Magazine. I’m trying to find the best way to take it to the next step for a freelance writing side opportunity. The writing is very separate from anything I’ve worked on in the Big4 or other consulting firms.. more about cybersecurity overall and the future, regulation, etc.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Ok NOW I can finally say I passed all four parts of the CPA exam. I can’t even begin to tell you all how hard of a journey this has been for me and how much sleep I’ve lost throughout these past few months. It was all worth it though. I see people are announcing they passed on LinkedIn so just practicing again until I finally do.

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
