I worked as a government financial analyst and even though I had zero experience when I first started, once I got the basics mastered, I quickly grew into someone who could think of immediate solutions to very complex problems. Some things take time to understand but eventually it becomes much easier and you grow into becoming an authority in that area.
Hi i have a question: from where you learnt all the basics (data analytics)? thank u in advance
What software do you learn in your first year as a financial analyst?
@@rayhana9259 right now in the Google Data Analytics program Excel, R, Tableau, and SQL are covered. When I worked as a financial analyst, I used Excel daily and Crystal Reports for extracting data and running queries. I also used a few customized data bases where I could build a canned script to pull information like employee salary increases. So most of my learning has been on the job.
@@hrthjfr , Excel and Power Point more than anything. I also produced lengthy reports in Word where many tables, charts, and graphs were included. I also used Crystal Reports to extract data from a mainframe data base.
can I link with you for more details? would love to know more about the Google Analytic Program and how to get into it?
Finally, someone answered my questions in less than 10 minutes which I was looking for in the past 6 months. Thank you.
Great to hear! You're most welcome, we'll have more Data focused videos coming out soon too!
My gosh , same ive been looking all over fir the answer!.
Truly agree!
You could've been certified by that time. Have your started your journey yet?
Habibi
I'm 16 and i am an aspiring data analyst. This video really opened my thoughts about data analytics, i'll comeback to this comment when i finally became a data analyst CHEERS❤️✨️
Hey, thanks for the comment! It's super impressive that you're so determined at such a young age. We wish you the best of luck and hope to see another comment once you find a job as a junior data analyst!
How're you doing mate?
I want to be data analyst to :)
Hi William, I find that you have done the best video for this topic and have well-covered information-sharing tips about this career. Thanks a ton!
The video actually gives a great insight on been a data analyst and makes you double check yourself if you are actually fit and ready to dive in the carrier path. I think am ready to go
This video make it easier to understand what data analytics is all about… I’d go deeper for this, and make it with great results. Thanks man ❤️🙏🏽
Sometimes explaining and reading the guidelines of a career sounds alot more complicated than it really is. I'm an accoutant and I can explain in detail what I do, but really it's just make sure everything is accurate while taking into consideration other factors. I could easily transition to a data analyst or for my case, a financial analyst.
is it worth becoming an accountant is it tough
@@omarioBOSboy01 it pays the bills and gets you further than others. So in a way yeah.
@@omarioBOSboy01 I'm an accountant as well, for the past 8 years and can definitely agree with @fineth9319. I have been anywhere between a full-cycle accountant all the way up to a financial analyst for corporate companies, and in line with @fineth9319: most people make it seem like it's complicated and like a very serious working environment, from job descriptions to what social media, tv shows and other people assume accountants are, (serious people in front of computers in cubicles, you can hear a pin drop for how quiet it is, etc.), or encounters people have had with some, but it's nothing far than what it really is for the majority in that profession.
The jist of it is as simple as: knowing how to add and subtract, making sure reports and data is accurate (being analytical), data entry, manipulating data and other things.
Depending on where you live, you can make good money, especially in major cities, like Miami, New York and Los Angeles in the United States.
@@fineth9319Any tips on where to begin while pursuing an accounting degree and after graduation?
@@markusd338 don't be one. Merry Christmas!
I'm almost done completing my bachelor's in ICT and I'm looking to specialize in data analysis. Thank you for this.
Very comprehensive yet succinct and matter-of-fact video. Thank you guys!
Thank you for a clear and simple video for those of us who are interested in this area. I look forward to learning a lot more from your channel.
Thank you kindly for demystifying data analytics, without going into all the fluff. You saved me 6 months of studying. There are many enigmatic videos out there in the sea of data that is so long winded and convoluted.
I had empty knowledge on this topic but thanks for this essential lesson.
I have just got an offer about Data Analyst job vacancy and I had to check it out first,coz I've only been in a call center industry taking calls but no idea of becoming a data analyst,so this video is really helpful way to jump off to a new career direction...
Have you made the jump because I'm literally in the same boat you are, or at least when you made this comment. I work at a call center too but recently I've been thinking about becoming a Data Analyst
How’s it going for the both of y’all?! I’m in the Same boat as well, in a call center
@@dionteoneal386 nice to meet you! I'm doing great! Just quit my job last week, starting a new one tomorrow, it'll allow me to focus more on getting ready for data analysis courses. I'm excited.
Really this is the best video and the simplest one I watched about Data analysis definition
I deeply appreciate your simple educative introduction
How do I sign up for your training program?

Nice , thank you
I’m improving my communication skill first then my problem solving, I’ll improve my technical skills at last. I’m struggling to express myself by speaking and writing, I wish I’m born intelligent just like you
Guy we have the same prb 😫😫😫 im new in this and i learnt I need to have good communication skills 🥺 to talk is the prb anyways we gonna do it on God ❤
Apologies for the late reply, but I’ve got some tips that might help you out.
- Adjust your speed. By changing how quickly you speak, you will force yourself to think about what you are saying and how you are saying it. This can lead to clearer speech - in grammar, organization, and pronunciation.
- Observe speakers and writers you enjoy. You don’t need to copy their style, but by learning what you like, you can develop your own style.
- Prepare, but don’t overdo it. Not everything needs a pre-written speech, but bulletpoints on what you need to address can be extremely helpful.
- Record yourself and/or get feedback from others. The best way to know how you are doing is to get direct feedback. Recordings are great because you can see exactly what you want to adjust, but bystanders are just as valuable.
- Listen and read. The opposites of speaking and writing are important, too. They help you learn what works, what doesn’t, and how to respond appropriately.
- Know your strengths. You likely already have default ways of presenting and writing. These can be used to your advantage. Me? I’ve got a deeper voice, a laid-back demeanor, and direct manner of speaking, so I try to come across as knowledgeable, calm, and somewhat humorous/ironic. I know being extremely energetic or the funniest guy in the room won’t work for me, so I don’t do those things.
- Be patient. Getting better at any form of communication takes a long time. Still, it can be done. Just practice and don’t be too hard on yourself.
- Practice. You won’t get better without it.
Hope this helps,
