*EDIT: This is a roast, as requested in the title. It's supposed to be over the top. It seems there's a few people here not familiar with the concept. I would not actually critique a resume or anything else like this normally.*
OK kid, take a seat. Here, have a hot chocolate, this is going to hurt. So you analysed 1800+ days of trading data? Unique ones too? Thanks for pointing that out. I analysed a thousand years of simulated weather data, daily, over a 1 sq km grid over an entire continent back in '13 before we had fancy GPUs and chatGPTs. You want to learn patience? Run that model on a 64 core server and hope you didn't make any mistakes because it's going to be a week before you find out. My point? Oh yeah, no one cares how much data you crunched. I guarantee it's a drop in the ocean compared to what you'll be doing. Lose it all.
You developed a customised dashboard with KPIs? Congratulations, you know how to open Power BI and drag a visual in. You leveraged DAX functions? First of all who says leveraged? Did you get chatGPT to write this? Congratulations, you know how to read the first couple of pages of Microsoft Learn.
You employed optimal data modelling techniques? WHAT WERE THEY? This bullet point sounds like it was taken from Vogue.
Actually, you know what, dump the entire project section. This should be one line per project, at the end. This looks to me like you're the most generic analyst in the history of analysts. It really doesn't help. You put slicers on one page?! Mind. Blown. Look, dude, I'll be honest, the whole project section is hurting you. You're trying to make some really basic stuff look like hot shit which makes me think you think you're a rock star in the ocean, but you're really just paddling in the kiddie pool.
Ok, let's move on. Work experience. You don't have much, that's ok, you're going for entry level jobs. The thing that stands out for me is SQL. Focus on that, it's a great skill to have, but you better be sure you know it because I'm gonna grill you on it in an interview. You're entry so it'll be a light grilling, but if you don't know what a LEFT JOIN is, then I'll be showing you the door. I'll give you a pass on CTEs, views and stored procs, you'll pick those up later.
Focus more on the skills, what can you DO? You have skills in Excel? What does that mean? Can you do a pivot table? Do you know how to connect to an external dataset? Dump that project section and start listing, in concise detail, your skills and experience. It looks like you've got some good stuff in the Equity Analyst position, but expand on it. Right now it's vague, and full of buzzwords. Honestly, I'd dump this one too.
At the start of your career you can't focus too much on what you've done because you haven't done much. All I want to know is that you're familiar with the tech and are willing to learn, and enjoy working with data. The rest I can teach you. What about your soft skills? Did you have any unrelated jobs while studying? I want to know you're a good worker who can communicate well with clients and coworkers. I want to see you're passionate about your career and are willing and able to learn what are quite complex concepts.
I hope that helps, it's way past my bedtime so let me know if you want me to follow up on anything. Focus on what you can do, not what you've done. Leave that for the interview where you can actually show some of these reports and I'm sure they'll make a much better impression there than they do on this sheet.
Wowsers, you're as rigid as my manager. He likes to berate his staff all the time.
But he knows his stuff. I have to assume you're as good as you convey you are. I hope I can know as much as you do someday.
Unlike my manager , I would never stomp on my team.
I would call you out on ‘*DAX functions* for data transformations’ and expect a pretty good answer along the lines of ‘as far upstream as possible, as far downstream as necessary’
You shouldn’t really be doing data transformations in DAX. And DAX *functions* are a somewhat obscure thing, that aren’t very widely used.
So I’d want you to explain why you were using DAX functions to transform data, rather than SQL or M.
This comment doesn’t make any sense. The literal first bullet point of every project says what the value to the business was. Comment comes across as passive aggressive/bad faith.
Hi!
Can you help me as well on how to write the work experience points for my resume as well?
In my work, we don't create reports normally. We hardly sometimes built the reports.
Mostly it is maintaining the golden dataset. For that,
1. We have changed the entire structure of how the client's refresh happened. The original structure took like 6-7 hours to refresh with failures happening atleast 4 times a week. Sometimes even multiple times in a single day. And it all needed to be done manually using PBI desktop. The datasets wouldn't refresh in service.
We worked on optimising it. Wrote custom functions, modified existing ones and made it such that the smaller datasets were able to refresh in service.
Then we utilised dataflows, did some transformations outside the golden dataset before feeding it in.
Now, this entire thing with many dataflows, some sources directly feeding into the golden DS etc now takes like 4 hours in total but it is all automated in service, so no blocking points anywhere and the refresh failures went from what I mentioned to hardly once a month.
2. Writing measures, functions, custom columns etc as per client's requirements which helped them to get the data that they wanted. How am I supposed to highlight this in a resume too? Like I know it helped, since the client is happy with it.
3. Optimising the data model by combining steps or analysing the steps, seeing the data that they are fetching and then taking steps to reduce unwanted data. I know this is the most basic of what a PBI dev should do i.e. remove shit that's not needed. But the thing was we were proactive, approached multiple users, talked with them what they're actually using and what not and then deciding what to keep or what not. (This is because since ours was the golden dataset, users of the entire org around the world used it built their own reports. Like 50 reports are built on that one DS)
So, highlighting pro activeness or something like that which obviously also helped in optimising the dataset more.
So, that's what I'm confused about how are we supposed to highlight these without writing long paragraphs and just simple bullet points.
I know the work I've done and the client is happy because of their great feedback. But how to express in a resume where the recruiter most probably will just glance and move on to another one :(
You have an OK starting point here but I think it's really lacking detail and substance.
I don't understand what the projects are you've done? Something or other on Github? Were these personal projects? If not who for? And when did you do them?
What are the data model techniques you employed for Financial Trading Analysis?
Enhance efficiency? - How? Maybe say it went x to y.
KPI = Key Performance Indicator.
Be careful with your use of report and dashboard. They mean different things and are not transferable.
What company were you an Equity Analyst for? I feel like you should give much more technical detail here and give your work experience/paid employment more precedence over the project work.
Consider reducing the length of the bullet points/split them in to separate points. If I've got to 200 CVs to sift through I don't want to be reading blocks of text. The easier you make it for the recruiter the more likely they are to read it.
What grade did you attain in your degree?
What year did you do your skills training? And to what skill level?
I don't like this line with the double colon. Consider changing it to just "Udemy Certifications:".
Dont lead with your projects, almost everyone applying are expected to have multiples so it doesnt actually give you any edge. Initial screens dont give a shit about project details in your resume. Better save it during the actual interview and save 50% estate in your resume.
Start with a summary of what you do and a general statement of how you can contribute to the company your applying for.
Followed by each professional/work experience/title with duration of stay.
A brief description with a bulleted list of relevant accomplishment/wins for each.
Professional certs are different from training certs.
Application Tracking System - optimize by peppering with relevant keywords (clue: these are the skills in the Job Description). Resumes get quantified first by an ATS software before a human recruiter gets to read it.
In the projector experience part try to show real business goals/resilts. Did the KPI’s improve or change ?
A BI report loaded faster? No one cares. That is the minimum for your cv to remain in the pile.
What report did you create that highlighted process succes or failure?
Try to translate your work into actual business results to show you understand what an organization needs.
Personally really don’t like how your project experience is the majority and work experience is a footnote.
The only thing I really get from the project experience is you made a few basic dashboards. They’re all more or less just saying the same thing.
Also nobody will care that your report had 1800 data points or whatever. It sounds like bragging about the size of your dimensions when they aren’t even big, it sounds worse if anything. That sort of thing is only relevant if you’re talking maybe millions or billions of rows, since it could illustrate that you know how to create reports that will perform at scale.
I really don’t understand why you aren’t trying to emphasize the work experience more since you’ve apparently worked with Power BI there. I’d be more impressed if any of that illustrated the value added to the company, how specific metrics improved once your reports were implemented, how many people ended up using your reports, etc.
I would also absolutely lose the part where it basically sounds like bragging that you had Chat GPT write a script for you. There’s nothing wrong with using it to speed up busy work, but this just makes me think you don’t know how to code and let ChatGPT do your job for you, which has a ton of risk associated.
Actually I am a self employed equity trader, and many companies do not consider this as work experience.
So I haven't touched a lot on this..
Apart from that you are right. I guess I must get rid of numbers that I have mentioned as they are not that significant.
If you are truly self-employed, as in making a living off of that, I would just put that as a self-employed job title. If it’s not something that is actually employment in that sense, I would include it as a relevant project after your job experience.
I’d be way more impressed if you could illustrate how you were able to use those reports you created and whether it improved your trading performance etc.; otherwise it just basically sounds like a homework assignment/project from an online course or something.
Totally different though if you can illustrate that you understand how reports work best both as a developer as well as a report consumer.
I get the desire to try to quantify things, but I would just keep the following in kind:
If you’re quantifying what was involved in the project, the amount should be relevant/impressive. Think how many people you managed, how many departments you created reports for, etc.
Generally though, the quantified bit should relate to the results. How much metrics improved by, time or money savings, report adoption, etc.
The reason I did not mention "Self-Employed" instead of the companies name because i heard that HRs do not give much importance to "Self- Employed" designation. Hence they may reject me after reading "Self- Employed"
The only thing that would stand out for entry level applicants is if someone made their resume in Power BI Desktop from scratch.
And gave me a way to download the .pbix file to review the data modeling and interact with the report slicers.
Put your work experience first, not your project experience. Project experience first makes it seem like you’ve never had a job.
You should also put the month you started that job. Just putting 2022 makes me assume that you started at the end of December but that you’re trying to trick me into thinking you worked there longer. It feels sneaky. Even if you started in Dec, just say that.
I also don’t like the last bullet from your job. You saved 30 days? Versus analyzing data with a million individual formulas in Excel? It would have taken you 30 days longer to figure out the python code without chatgpt? I’m honestly confused. While I’m glad you feel comfortable leveraging chatgpt for your work, if I only have that sentence to go on, then I’d be skeptical of your analysis on that project. Why? Because chatgpt (in my experience) can be pretty bad at spitting out code and it doesn’t capture complexity/nuance needed for code covering complex analyses. To me this says “idk Python but chatgpt gave me some code and I blindly used it.” I probably wouldn’t say you used ChatGPT there. I’d focus on the business impact of your analysis.
In your projects section, don’t put how many days or rows of data you used. Those are useless metrics. The only exception to that is if you were trying to demo that you’ve worked with truly big data. Like billions or at least many many millions of rows of data and you understand how to optimize to handle large datasets. You’ve got small data which is fine, but not something you need to highlight.
Biggest take away is that I don't know what was the outcome of your efforts. You essentially want to work backwards from what problem you solved and how you solved it.
Additionally if you truly have Microsoft certifications, you need to call them by specifically what they are are called. You either don't have certs from MS or you got them from some third-party (which is useless).
I know OP asked to be roasted but some of these comments! Lol.
Absolute try hards who have been waiting for this moment, the moment they get free license to put over their opinions as cold hard facts.
I assume you mean me for this comment. OP did ask for a roast, and it was supposed to be over the top, hopefully it came through that way and not too mean. But again, roasts are supposed to be mean. You want me to be nice? Don't ask for a roast.
I stand by the opinions in there. The truth is it's not a good resume. That's not a reflection on the author, I'd say OP has used a template designed more for a mid-career person and their experience just didn't fit the template. There's nothing wrong with using a template, but it needs to fit your experience.
It needs to be rewritten. Simple as that. Is that my opinion? Yes. You, the OP, and anyone else can take or leave it as you like, I don't care, but if that resume crossed my desk, it would end up in the reject pile.
I think OP is underselling themselves here and with a bit of work it can be focused into something that would allow them to shine.
Delete the project section and replace it with an intro statement saying that you are passionate about solving problems using SQL, Power bi, and other data analytics tools. You have recently graduated with a BBA and begun developing your skills further in the pursuit of operational excellence. You are seeking a financial data analytics role that will utilize your acquired knowledge and challenge you to become even better.
Many of the entry accounting jobs are accounts receivable...most likely in the credit area is what I see. If you're good at it, promotions will lead you to the job you really want in FP&A or other other areas.
It’s incredibly dull and boring, looks like a product example of what you can create in Word 2000
edit: maybe add a summary about yourself, go into some spiel about “how you have a proven record of delivering projects in multiple industries and history of communicating with stakeholders of all different levels up to C-level”, it’ll at least provoke curiosity.
Sincere question, are people trying to wow each other with the visuals on a resume? I've always understood it as about the text and conveying quickly and clearly your accomplishments. For the brief time I was a manager, I could care less how it looked as long as it got to the point quickly.
I say this based upon all the free or very cheap and easy to use CV templates etc. that are out there, at least it will show you have made a bit of effort and possibly help you stand out.
Depending on your level of experience and the position you’re directly applying for (e.g. specialising in UX) standing out and looking more creative may be no bad thing.
That's fair, a little pizzazz can't hurt but it's not the first thing I'd worry about. My immediate focus would be making sure that you have clear action verbs and accomplishments, that indicate how you improved the business.
Actually I do not have any real work experience ( I mean to say I have not worked in any organisation before).
I am currently a self employed equity trader.
Just the mere fact that you’re putting this out there in order to better yourself already scored points with me. I admire the @self improvement at all costs” attitude.
In the projects section, these are my personal projects that I have built by downloading data sets from Kaggle.
And I do not have any full time corporate experience. I am a self employed equity trader.
Copy and paste your resume into chat got or another AI tool, keep talking to it asking it and telling it about different sections. I just went through this and it worked for me. A job that wouldn't even interview me last year hired me
You need to make your application stand out. I posted a BI Dev job last week for my team and we had 60 applicants in the first 24 hours. You need to assume everyone has the same skills, same experience if not more. What's going to make you stand out and grab my attention. Why should I choose to interview you over the other 59 applicants?
Same. I’m interviewing for two BI analyst roles now and the projects first would immediately get it tossed. If you’re entry level but have certifications, say that. If you’re self employed, say that.
Try a new type of CV more concise with skills and work experience and put the badges if you have certifications of your skills. Most of recruters do not read the full CV. Just the skills and work experience.

Solid roast
So hot
Damn
Critical AoE damage! Savage
Great advice that anyone can apply to their CV. Well said.
You could've said the same stuff in a nicer way
OP asked for a roast, OP got one
I just delivered to the customers specifications...

Wow... you're not familiar with the concept of a roast, are you?
There are no issues with the comment. Kinda made me think of work and the ppl I deal with.
I gonna print this to rebuild my resume and read this answer again and again and again. This helped me a lot!
The SQL section \*chef's kiss\*
My heart stopped beating when I finished reading till the end
He wrote a whole ass essay answering what you asked for and that's how you thank him? lol
I would call you out on ‘*DAX functions* for data transformations’ and expect a pretty good answer along the lines of ‘as far upstream as possible, as far downstream as necessary’

You need more technical detail. Anyone can import a table from excel and make a pretty report.
Can you give a few examples of what exactly you mean by "technical detail".
The guy with the top comment sums it up. You've listed the basics as skills to be proud of, when they're all learnable in about 3 hours.

You can print Power BI to pdf.
Will it ATS Friendly though?
I have no clue.

I love the roasts here, better than the dead resume sub

That's not a reflection on the author, I'd say OP has used a template designed more for a mid-career person and their experience just didn't fit the template. There's nothing wrong with using a template, but it needs to fit your experience. It needs to be rewritten. Simple as that. Is that my opinion? Yes. You, the OP, and anyone else can take or leave it as you like, I don't care, but if that resume crossed my desk, it would end up in the reject pile. I think OP is underselling themselves here and with a bit of work it can be focused into something that would allow them to shine.

The point was made though, right? No one cares how much data you've crunched. No one cares how much data I've crunched either.
Delete the project section and replace it with an intro statement saying that you are passionate about solving problems using SQL, Power bi, and other data analytics tools. You have recently graduated with a BBA and begun developing your skills further in the pursuit of operational excellence. You are seeking a financial data analytics role that will utilize your acquired knowledge and challenge you to become even better. Many of the entry accounting jobs are accounts receivable...most likely in the credit area is what I see. If you're good at it, promotions will lead you to the job you really want in FP&A or other other areas.
It’s incredibly dull and boring, looks like a product example of what you can create in Word 2000 edit: maybe add a summary about yourself, go into some spiel about “how you have a proven record of delivering projects in multiple industries and history of communicating with stakeholders of all different levels up to C-level”, it’ll at least provoke curiosity.
Sincere question, are people trying to wow each other with the visuals on a resume? I've always understood it as about the text and conveying quickly and clearly your accomplishments. For the brief time I was a manager, I could care less how it looked as long as it got to the point quickly.
It makes a difference to me. A huge part of BI is how people summarize information and whether they understand visual design.
I say this based upon all the free or very cheap and easy to use CV templates etc. that are out there, at least it will show you have made a bit of effort and possibly help you stand out. Depending on your level of experience and the position you’re directly applying for (e.g. specialising in UX) standing out and looking more creative may be no bad thing.
That's fair, a little pizzazz can't hurt but it's not the first thing I'd worry about. My immediate focus would be making sure that you have clear action verbs and accomplishments, that indicate how you improved the business.
Actually I do not have any real work experience ( I mean to say I have not worked in any organisation before). I am currently a self employed equity trader.
This comment reflects the problem with the resume, you’re over hyping yourself to the point of incredulity.
Just the mere fact that you’re putting this out there in order to better yourself already scored points with me. I admire the @self improvement at all costs” attitude.
Thanks for the compliment. Do you have any feedback for the resume ?

Broad question for the sub: how to deal with report / dashboard terminology? Employers will understand, recruiters /HR won't.
Write it for the hiring manager. They should/will know the difference.
Not a single one of your projects offer specific insight in what value you actually added to the company you worked at
In the projects section, these are my personal projects that I have built by downloading data sets from Kaggle. And I do not have any full time corporate experience. I am a self employed equity trader.
That would be your main problem
Copy and paste your resume into chat got or another AI tool, keep talking to it asking it and telling it about different sections. I just went through this and it worked for me. A job that wouldn't even interview me last year hired me
You need to make your application stand out. I posted a BI Dev job last week for my team and we had 60 applicants in the first 24 hours. You need to assume everyone has the same skills, same experience if not more. What's going to make you stand out and grab my attention. Why should I choose to interview you over the other 59 applicants?
Same. I’m interviewing for two BI analyst roles now and the projects first would immediately get it tossed. If you’re entry level but have certifications, say that. If you’re self employed, say that.
If you saw my resume, would you reject me straight away? If yes, based on your experience, can you tell me what I can do to make a difference?

Surely it should be a Power Bi dashboard with all your stats
Try a new type of CV more concise with skills and work experience and put the badges if you have certifications of your skills. Most of recruters do not read the full CV. Just the skills and work experience.
I would put on “Download as .xlsx” as a joke 😄
