14: How To Find A Data Analyst Job

Avery Smith - Data Career Coach
About this episode

In this episode, I respond to Marc Lamy's question about where to find data analyst roles and how to get one. The answer as always, DO PROJECTS! I also mention using your network, especially your university alumni and resources. Maybe try a smaller company? And check out some of the listings on Stack Overflow.
