It depends a lot on the hiring manager's approach and leadership philosophy. For me, advanced Excel skills are the only hard prerequisite; the only thing I wouldn't have time for you to learn on the job. Aside from that, I care about two things more than anything else: that you're really smart, and that you're insanely curious. I could care less whether you already have a background in digital media, social, direct marketing, etc. If you have those two fundamental qualities, you can learn anything. Conversely, another candidate might have relevant experience, but if smarts & curiosity aren't evident, they can't be learned.
a solid background in Excel. good stats/math background and general quantitative aptitude. I’ve seen candidates with a little Tableau (there are videos online) and their resumes rise to the top.
Thank you Director & VP 🙏🏼 time to brush up on excel
I agree with VP - I could care less where you came from. My best hire was straight out of undergrad and was a Snr analyst within 6 months. My second best hire came from legal research.
general recruiters struggle in this area (and not their fault) because they don’t know the attributes of what makes a good analyst.
