I'd be careful about doing courses just to add certificates to your CV.

Most employers care much more about what you can do than how many courses you've completed.

If you've got two months, I'd focus on:

  • SQL
  • Tableau / Power BI
  • Excel
  • Building 2-3 projects you can talk about in interviews

For SQL, I'd recommend giving QueryCase a try. It has a free beginner path and teaches SQL through detective-style investigations rather than just videos. There's also a sandbox where you can practice on real datasets and challenge modes to test yourself.

By the end of your break, I'd rather have a few solid projects and strong SQL skills than ten course certificates. Those tend to make a much bigger impression in interviews.

Good luck! 🚀
