Data Analyst resume keywords
SQL and a BI tool are near-universal requirements, then the methods and the warehouse. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.
Tools, systems and languages
- SQL
- Tableau
- Power BI
- Microsoft Excel
- Python
- Snowflake
- Looker
Skills and methods
- A/B Testing
- Data Visualization
Domain knowledge
- Statistics
How to use them
- Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
- Write the method, not just the outcome: "ran A/B tests" rather than "improved conversion"
- Name the warehouse and the orchestration tool (dbt, Airflow) if you used them
- Quantify scale: rows, tables, dashboards, stakeholders served
- Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
