To anyone getting started. Took me 7 months from no knowing anything about the field, to having my first Data Analyst role, from a hospitality background.

I’ve watched a lot of Alex’s videos, so you’re at the right place. Good luck!

It has been 5 months ago since I've started learning to become a data analyst from scratch ( yes ) and today is my first job interview 😀 , I'd say english isn't my primary language 😢 but that never has stopped me 🧐

I started teaching myself data analytics fundamentals in April 2023. I was rejected for a uni course as I couldn't pass the math test. But I persevered. I did the Google data analytics certificate and put my whole heart into it and went off on tangents with it, learning beyond what was in the course. I've just got a job offer from my first interview, and it's for a data analyst for the government at mid-management level. I have no idea how the heck this happened but I guess I gotta say THANK YOU. I thought, no way will I get it this quickly. But there you go! I had zero knowledge or professional experience when I started and here we are, only 5 months later!

I have made the decision to change my story and become a data analyst. I am watching the 2nd video with tears in my eyes because I have such high expectations. Help me Lord and wish me luck guys. Thanks Alex for the opportunity.

As a data analyst something else I recommend learning is the context behind the data you’ll be analyzing. For example, if you’re applying to be one at a manufacturing facility, understand the manufacturing process (at least to some degree). If you’re applying at the corporate office of some retail chain or medical office, understand how those companies generally work etc etc…The technical skills are certainly important, but knowing the actual business pays in dividends.

Bro, massive respect to you Alex. You literally helping out tons of people for free, and you did all of these things with smile and energy in your face. I could not thanks you enough for all you have done in your channel. I represent everyone who has been helped by you thousands of thanks.

👏👏👏

Alex, I want to chip in my experience here. I was a Finance graduate, and just like you, have 0 background in data, but I do have a little bit of statistical knowledge coming from an Economics minor. I did all the things you and Luke taught on becoming a data analyst from scratch, all the projects, the portfolio, the courses, the recruiters, EVERYTHING. 3 months of intensive learning and another 3 months of job hunting afterwards, I got myself a job in an islamic finance company, collecting data of unit trust funds around the world and consolidating them into a database, constantly updating them, making analysis on them, finding pattern and trends.

So Alex, I want to thank you, Luke, and many other teachers on Youtube and all over the internet helping me on this journey, and I'm very lucky, grateful and thrilled that I made it.

I got here because of the Spotify podcast called Data Career Podcast #56. The host interviewed Teshawn Black and Teshawn gave a shoutout to Alex the Analyst on youtube. I thought that this must be a pretty good channel if someone seemed to be so grateful to Alex the Analyst. And now, it looks like it is a channel with excellent content, good vibes, and does not make Data Analyst career feel overwhelming. The introduction alone is a good roadmap. Thank you!

You are a well grounded person in this glossy world of "online gurus" and "classy life coaches" this cant get more to the point, that`s what every video in your channel brings out. 🙏

Here I am sharing my story. I have to retire from my profession in gastronomy due to osteoarthritis and now have to start up new career. I chose Data analysis and starting from zero today and watching these videos for initial support before starting with some actual courses. Thank you, Alex, your videos are great and I hope I will able to learn and start my new career in the future.
