Looking to improve my analytics and presentation skillsets. Any recommendations?
Hi all,
I was laid off in March from my last agency job. I learned a lot, and the skills I learned helped me greatly ( I feel ) with landing many interviews. The problem is I haven't gotten any offers.
In the meantime, I've been working on learning SQL to also expand as a Marketing analyst or a business analyst in this AI job market, but I had another interview today, and I felt something. I didn't feel AS confident in my presentation as my other skill sets. I do feel in some areas I lack analytics insight, but it's something I've definitely wanted to improve. However, presenting it to clients/stakeholders is a different story.
Unfortunately, at my last job, I was prevented from having the client-facing experience I needed and was more in the back end. I am confident it's something I can learn, but it doesn't seem hiring managers are as willing to pick up people who can be taught. So, in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to improve at more confidently presenting for marketing/business analytics.
Thanks.
