Data Analyst Resume Example

A data analyst resume that connects your SQL and dashboards to business decisions - because companies hire analysts for insight, not just queries.

Show the decision your analysis changed

The strongest analyst bullets end with a business outcome: 'Built a churn dashboard in Power BI that helped the retention team cut monthly churn from 6% to 4.5%'. Mention the tool, but lead with the problem you solved.

Breaking into data analytics

If you're switching careers, add a Projects section with two or three analyses on public datasets - with a link to your notebook or dashboard. Certifications such as the Google Data Analytics or Microsoft PL-300 help your resume pass keyword filters.

Frequently asked questions

Should a data analyst resume include a portfolio link?

Yes, if you have one. A link to a Tableau Public, GitHub or Kaggle profile lets hiring managers see your work immediately.

How do I describe dashboards on my resume?

Say who used it, what it tracked and what changed because of it - for example how often leaders used it or a decision it informed.
