A useful starting point
Show SQL, a dashboard someone used, and a decision it supported. Two pages for experienced analysts; one if you are converting from another field with little proof. Skip “passionate about data”. Skip this if the advert wants machine learning — that is the data-scientist page.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
