    Soft skills are so important. Being able to communicate your finding effectively is probably the most important part of the job!

    Amazing!! What I find most helpful is when you provide advice to those who are a complete beginner and when you provide resources like DATACAMP and direct LINKS. I don't see many youtubers do this where they provide direct resources so it feels like I'm thrown into the Ocean after learning how to swim on UA-cam.
    Please keep it up Agatha!!!

      Always try to understand the business needs.
      What are they trying to accomplish? Why are they analyzing the data? And always get continuous feedback on your work so you don’t waste your time working on something that they don’t need.

    Hi Agatha! I love your content. Totally binge watched all your videos.
    I'm currently a research data coordinator in the healthcare field. Would transitioning to data analytics be a good next step from my role? I've been in the Healthcare field for over a decade (4 in research, 8 in pharmacy tech) & I feel like I want to evolve & do something else. But I have this fear & imposter syndrome of not being able to branch out & do well in other fields, so feel like I should stay in Healthcare since it's what I'm familiar with.

    Hi, it's been short while that I've discovered your channel and have found it super helpful. I'm in a middle of changing my career. Currently, I'm working as an online teacher. Though I've degree in computer but in the past few years, I didn't get time to polish my skills now I really need to work on it as I've no other option. Currently, I cannot go for any certified course but relying solely on UA-cam videos and started with Excel. Could you or someone else who have watched Agatha's videos would be able to tell me what should I be focusing on after Excel? I know about SQL and Tableau. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

    Hi Agatha, I am actually currently self-learning SQL, PowerBI and Python thru Datacamp yay! Anyway, now I wish to start my own project, so I found some datasets I can use, but I have no SQL or PowerBI installed in my laptop (my current work company laptop).. Is there a way I can do up a project without installing the programs? 🥲

    • @AnalyticsRefresher
      @AnalyticsRefresher 6 місяців тому +3

      Hello there, to get started off, you can do analysis on excel if you don’t have SQL or Power BI. Excel is a very powerful tool that most people overlook. Try to import your data into excel, clean it up, run some analysis on it and create dashboards. Data analytics is as much an art as it is a science. Mastering the art of storytelling with excel will help you when you learn other tools like SQL and PowerBI.
