I have watched a lot of videos and folks are so long winded and don’t say a thing at all! Thank you for getting to the point!

New subscriber here! Anyhow, I’m also a Data Analyst in the healthcare industry, and I agree with Alex over his summary on what most data analyst do. For starters, learning a database language (like SQL) is vital as well as being familiar on basic programming languages (like XML, JavaScript, Python, etc.) and reporting and analytics tools like Power BI, Tableau, Zoho, etc. It’s also important to have basic understanding over best practices to implement data quality and security, especially when you’re dealing with sensitive data like peoples’ financial and health information.

Keep in mind not all companies have programmers to do the ETL work. I'm a Sr. Data Analyst and I'm responsible for the entire process from start to finish. Sometimes Data Analyst also perform the workloads of Data Engineers, Data Scientists, etc.

Funny story - I have a bachelor degree in Computer Engineering and I am specializing myself in Big Data. I went on an interview for a traineeship related to something completely different (more of the programming type). The interview went very well but they noticed a passion and predisposition to data in the way I talked. So now they want another interview with me next week directly for a data analyst junior position. That's why I am here. I didn't request the interview, it was offered. So, now I am trying to understand a little bit better the job and requirements.

Masha Allah! Thanks a lot for a superb and brief style to express the topic in an easy and effective way!!!!

[banjoomotola]

Thanks a lot for this Alex. It will be also helpful to add programming languages and tools needed in each job description. For example for data setups and visualization one could learn Tableau, I am not sure I know what to learn for other descriptions. This video is very useful.

i am at a point where I am no longer paying for more college... between this and coding, I should be able to pull it off without. Udemy seems amazing... I have been doin that for about 2 weeks... LOVE IT... seriously see myself being a lifetime member.

[antonyglenngomez]

Alex, you should definitely consider making a course related to data analytics in Udemy. I would be happy to join 😀

[jidefijabi]

About to attend a job interview for a project manager of a data analytics project. This has been very useful. Thank you.

4 minutes and 18 seconds straight brain spasms! 😂 😂 😂

[MrLionfox]

Maths and statistics!!!! What level of competency is required. What area should a none maths savvy person focus on in maths and statistics.. this will save me a lot of time

[maddiermah]

Thank you so much for the Data Analysis job description. I'm currently taking Data Analysis course through Coursera. There are 8 courses total, and I'm currently on course 4.

Hi Alex. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. It's super helpful to us aspiring Data Analysts. And like your random jokes, comments, intro of your dog, etc. These all keep things light and interesting 👊🏽

[aumarivero]

Thank you for getting to the point. Just all the intro i need.

[music_is_good]

Love the videos Alex! I have my first interview for a Data Analyst position tomorrow, I've been utilising your videos to help prepare myself and they've moved me from a position of terror to relative ease. Thanks again!
