Web Scraping with Python - Data Analysis Portfolio Project (Part 1)

A portfolio project is supposed to help you get hired. But I promise if you just go on Kaggle and do some boring data viz on the Titanic or iris data sets, you're not going to be getting many interviews, much less any job offers.

Hiring managers want to see unique projects! They want to see that you're passionate about something, that you went and gathered the data yourself and did something cool with it! You’ve got to make yourself stand out. Which is why I, an avid old school Runescape player (and self admitted nerd), am going to show you how to use Python to create a truly unique portfolio project.

This is the first installment of 3 that I will be releasing over the next couple of months to help you think of a unique project that will help you get hired!

Part 1 (this part): Gathering the data by web scraping
Part 2: Cleaning the data
Part 3: Creating a simple website to take user input and provide output

Interesting video! I'm starting my own data project - wondering how HasData's web scraping API fits into this process?

Hey Aaron I just found your channel and have really enjoyed your last few videos. As a newbie, I have a lot of questions to ask and the overwhelming desire to learn everything is killing me. I'm trying to build a strong portfolio but don't know to how to start with it.
