Data analyst résumé: what to show
Last updated 9 October 2026
Short answer. A strong data analyst résumé shows the business questions you answered, the tools you used (such as SQL, Python, a BI tool) and, most importantly, the decisions that changed because of your work.
Bullets that work
- "Built the weekly revenue dashboard used by three regional teams (SQL, Looker)."
- "Analysed churn by cohort; findings led to a change in onboarding emails."
- "Ran 12 A/B tests on pricing pages and wrote the readouts."
Skills line
SQL, a scripting language, a BI tool, spreadsheets, statistics methods you actually use.
Projects
For career starters, one public analysis with a clear question and conclusion is worth more than a list of courses.
Questions
Do I need Python?
Many analyst roles ask for SQL first; Python helps for more technical roles.
Should I link a portfolio?
Yes, if it shows clear questions and conclusions.
