Data analyst CV template and example

Analytics managers look for people who can get from a vague business question to a clear answer that someone acts on. They check your SQL and tooling, but they care more about the decisions your analysis drove and whether you can explain findings to non-technical teams. Show the data you worked with, the method you used and the result.

How to write a data analyst CV

1. Write bullets as question, method and outcome, for example 'built a churn model in Python that flags 70% of cancellations a month early'.
2. Give the size and type of data you handled, such as row counts, event volumes or number of sources, so the reader can gauge complexity.
3. Put SQL, Python or R and the BI tool you use most, such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker, at the start of your skills list.
4. Link a portfolio or public dashboard with one or two well-documented projects if your day-to-day work is confidential.
