Podcast notes:
Most aspiring data analysts aren't great at INTERVIEWING
They tend to struggle with open ended questions
Here's a strategy to answer those types of questions...
CREATE a professional "why statement" as it relates to your analytics journey
One sentence about your PAST
One sentence about your PRESENT
One sentence about your FUTURE
This may feel like too short of an answer but you should think of an interview as a conversation and not a monologue
Allow your interviewer to ask follow up questions to guide the conversation instead of trying to guess what they want to hear

Podcast notes:
Last week one of my analytics students had 3 recruiters reach out to her
She made 7 engaging posts on here and grew her following by over 1,000 connections
Here’s how she did it…
COPYWRITING
LinkedIn can be a powerful tool for you to leverage to become a data analyst too
But you need to know how the game works…
What makes a post viral vs a bust is how much time on average people stop scrolling their LinkedIn feed to read what you wrote and engage with your content
This requires a solid hook, or attention grabber and enough of a call to action to drive a person to click “see more” on your post
Shout out to Ian Klosowicz who has done an amazing job in his role of helping our Silvertone Analytics students button up their brand and broadcast themselves into the analytics industry

Podcast notes:
NETWORKING is a great way to grow your analytics career
Aspiring data analysts often approach networking in the WRONG WAY
Here’s an approach to networking that you want to AVOID…
Don’t make your relationships transactional
It cheapens the overall depth of your network in the long run
If you can help some easily… do it!
Don’t only help someone out when it immediately benefits you
The best relationships I have don’t have a “score”

Podcast notes:
Most analysts are not great at advocating for themselves.
We’ve helped analysts negotiate $30k, $40k and even a $50k raise.
Here’s a concept that you can use to ask for more money…
ANCHORING
If you are currently working a job that pays you well beneath market value then you’re at a steep disadvantage from a negotiation stand point.
Your manager associates you with a low salary and potentially even low value to the company.
This is where ANCHORING comes into play.
In terms of negotiation, your value in your manager's mind is anchored at a low point. Any negotiation will be in comparison to where you currently are. This means you need to pull off a MAJOR win to get even a small raise.
One way to get anchoring on your side is to quantify the impact of your work in your resume and apply for a new job.
Your new employer doesn’t need to know your old salary.
You can just highlight the economic impact that you’ve had in that previous role.
