Common mistakes on resumes for this role
- "Advanced Excel" listed with no SQL — most analyst roles now expect SQL as the baseline skill, not a bonus.
- Bullets list reports produced, not decisions they changed — "built a weekly dashboard" says nothing about what it was used for.
- No mention of data cleaning or quality work, which is most of the actual job and a strong signal of rigor.
- Statistics vocabulary missing (significance, confidence interval, cohort) even when the underlying work clearly involved it.
Weak vs. strong
Weak Created dashboards to track sales performance.
Strong Built a Looker dashboard that surfaced a 15% regional churn spike, prompting a retention campaign that recovered $180K in ARR.
