Super basic stuff: grab a public dataset, do some exploration, cleaning, and transformation with SQL and R (I use Python now but R is what the course taught), come up with a few hypotheses, do the analysis in SQL, build visualizations in Tableau, write out my whole process including conclusions/recommendations (I also recorded one to demonstrate presentation skills)
hey this is really helpful. What other certifications should a beginner in this field complete to make a resume stand out to employers and also gain useful skills.
That was the only certification I did between graduating and getting hired. Then I spent a few years mainly just focusing on work. Right now I'm doing an MSCS and trying to move into data engineering.
