Not every data analyst needs a project portfolio to share with potential employers. Today I’m sharing 3 Reasons you DON’T need a data analyst project portfolio to demonstrate your skills.

I fully expect that not everyone is going to agree with my take on analytics project portfolios. After all, even I’ve said before that connecting your training to business problems is the key skill many new analysts lack. And I’ve given tips on the types of projects that get jobs.

Let’s be clear - I’m not saying that you don’t need to do projects that show you implementing the skills you’ve learned. The part that you may not need at all though, is a digital portfolio of work.

Does all of this mean you should skip the data analyst projects? Of course not! But be mindful of the projects that you pick. Show business connections. Be able to articulate how your work ties into actual business problems or questions you might encounter.

And if you need more specific guidance and want to work with me on finding good projects and sharing your work, reach out to me for 1-1 coaching: https://thecareerforce.com/coaching
