In this podcast episode John David breaks down a tactic to improve your analytics interview skills. Almost all analytics interview questions start with an open ended question like "Tell me about yourself". In this podcast episode John David breaks down a cohesive and succinct way to approach this question and get your interview off to a great start.

Podcast notes:

Most aspiring data analysts aren't great at INTERVIEWING

They tend to struggle with open ended questions

Here's a strategy to answer those types of questions...

CREATE a professional "why statement" as it relates to your analytics journey

One sentence about your PAST

One sentence about your PRESENT

One sentence about your FUTURE

This may feel like too short of an answer but you should think of an interview as a conversation and not a monologue

Allow your interviewer to ask follow up questions to guide the conversation instead of trying to guess what they want to hear

In this podcast episode John David breaks down how to approach building a following on LinkedIn. Last week one of his students made 7 highly engaging posts which lead to 3 recruiters reaching out to her for interviews. This is a great tactic to deploy if you are trying to break into the space or land a promotion at another company.

Podcast notes:

Last week one of my analytics students had 3 recruiters reach out to her

She made 7 engaging posts on here and grew her following by over 1,000 connections

Here’s how she did it…

COPYWRITING

LinkedIn can be a powerful tool for you to leverage to become a data analyst too

But you need to know how the game works…

What makes a post viral vs a bust is how much time on average people stop scrolling their LinkedIn feed to read what you wrote and engage with your content

This requires a solid hook, or attention grabber and enough of a call to action to drive a person to click “see more” on your post

Shout out to Ian Klosowicz who has done an amazing job in his role of helping our Silvertone Analytics students button up their brand and broadcast themselves into the analytics industry

In this podcast episode John David talks about how to approach networking in an effective manor. You want to build long term relationships that will have a big impact on your career long term.

Podcast notes:

NETWORKING is a great way to grow your analytics career

Aspiring data analysts often approach networking in the WRONG WAY

Here’s an approach to networking that you want to AVOID…

Don’t make your relationships transactional

It cheapens the overall depth of your network in the long run

If you can help some easily… do it!

Don’t only help someone out when it immediately benefits you

The best relationships I have don’t have a “score”

In this podcast episode John David talks about the pros and cons of leveraging applying or networking to land an analytics job.

Podcast notes:

Most analysts are not great at advocating for themselves.

We’ve helped analysts negotiate $30k, $40k and even a $50k raise.

Here’s a concept that you can use to ask for more money…

ANCHORING

If you are currently working a job that pays you well beneath market value then you’re at a steep disadvantage from a negotiation stand point. 

Your manager associates you with a low salary and potentially even low value to the company. 

This is where ANCHORING comes into play.

In terms of negotiation, your value in your manager's mind is anchored at a low point. Any negotiation will be in comparison to where you currently are. This means you need to pull off a MAJOR win to get even a small raise.

One way to get anchoring on your side is to quantify the impact of your work in your resume and apply for a new job.

Your new employer doesn’t need to know your old salary.

You can just highlight the economic impact that you’ve had in that previous role.

In this podcast episode John David talks about the pros and cons of leveraging applying or networking to land an analytics job.

Podcast notes:

Applying vs. Networking

Which tactic is more effective towards landing an analytics job?

Here are my thoughts…

If you are trying to break into analytics then you’ll have better luck APPLYING.

If you are already established in the industry then NETWORKING is much more powerful.

The difference between these two tactics is SCALE:

Applying is BROADCASTING.

With a little bit of grit you can apply for over 1000 jobs in a year. Good luck going on 1000 informational interviews in that same time frame. 

Networking is NARROWCASTING.

Building a solid network means building solid relationships. Relationships take time, effort and work. They also don’t manifest overnight. It’s a long term commitment.
