For data analysts

A resume that shows you shipped analysis, not just ran queries.

Tool stack at the top, bullets that lead with the business decision the analysis drove — not the tool you used.

Why this matters

Analyst resumes that just list tools ("proficient in SQL, Tableau, Python") say nothing about judgment. Hiring managers want to see what business decision your analysis drove — the query was the easy part.

Section order

Put the right things at the top.

Hiring managers for data analysts read top-down and stop early. We surface the sections they care about first.
