Resume gap analysis for Data Analyst

SQL depth is stated, never evidenced

Most Data Analyst resumes list SQL as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach SQL to one project, its scope, and the result.

No numbers against dashboard adoption

Hiring managers for this role scan for dashboard adoption and reporting turnaround time. A resume without those figures reads as a data analyst who was present, not one who moved anything.

Tableau listed, Power BI missing

JDs for this role usually pair Tableau with Power BI. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.

Excel modelling and Data visualisation buried under duties

Excel modelling and Data visualisation are core screening keywords for Data Analyst openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.

Scope of ownership is unclear

"turn business questions into SQL and analysis" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Statistical analysis experience.

Certifications and qualifications not surfaced

Google Data Analytics Certificate, Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst appear in the preferred section of most Data Analyst JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
