Let's learn! If you are still on entry level data analyst like me then you need to hear this why you SHOULD avoid guided projects in your CV/Resume. "What are guided projects ? Guided projects are projects that are structured learning experiences that combine hands-on work with expert guidance". The common things nowadays is "coffee sales analysis" and "pizza sale analysis". The truth is that the hiring team no longer see this as PROJECTS. Instead they tend to see it as Red flag why because it shows how good you are in copying other people's work. We are trying to show our skills through projects, right ? Then what is wrong with this project's that we mention ? don't think from your side, Think from the hiring team's side Most of this project are from the YouTube and they have alot of viewers. even if we consider 50% percent of there number then just imagine how many aspiring data analysis would have created this same project. Remember hiring team sees hundreds of resumes and portfolios daily basis Just imagine how many times they have would have seen the same Tittles of projects again and again they would know that these projects are publicly available for everyone Meaning you have simply copied pasted the entire project from YouTube So now if i want to hire a data analyst the how would i judge you or your technical skills? What is the use of pizza or coffee sales analysis project for my company? By doing such guided projects you are involving yourself in a big circle of competition Remember guided projects are good for your personal practice and linkedin content only but try not to involve them in your portfolio or resume. #dataanalysis #dataanalysts #hiring #portfolio #freelancers
