Trying to do a career pivot into People/Data Analytics. But having issues making the transition. My MS was stats heavy (SPSS/R) and had work exp early on that was analytics focused. But since then, I’ve been in Change Management focused roles, where I still utilize data collection/analysis/visualization to provide recs to clients. But with nothing recent, I get passed over those who have.
Any recs on certs that I can show that I am current? Or any other advice for making the jump?
