[21:49, 26/06/2025] ❌ What Hurts:
	•	BIG RED FLAG: Employment gap (2016–Present) is completely unexplained.
	•	Even if these were learning years or personal reasons, a gap explanation or filler role/project must be added.
	•	Outdated experience at : Last job listed is from 2016.
	•	ATS algorithms often filter resumes with no current role in the last 3–5 years.
	•	Header lacks LinkedIn/GitHub/Portfolio link — today’s recruiters check these before shortlisting.
	•	Skill section is underwhelming and poorly grouped:
	•	“Advanced Excel” and “Python” are just floating next to DBs.
	•	No mention of core DA/BI skills like: A/B testing, forecasting, storytelling, KPIs, Agile/JIRA.
	•	Inconsistent formatting: Bullets are uneven, spacing is awkward in sections like SKILLS and PROJECTS.
[21:49, 26/06/2025] ❌ What Raises Concerns:
	•	❗ No recent professional experience listed — feels like a career switcher rather than a working professional.
	•	This creates mistrust in continuity, reliability, and current knowledge.
	•	❗ No role/title mentioned for recent projects — Were they internships, freelance, coursework?
	•	Labeling these under “PROJECTS” without context weakens their professional value.
	•	❗ No stakeholder engagement or business communication skills mentioned.
	•	In DA roles, communication with non-tech teams is critical — must highlight this.
	•	❗ No GitHub/portfolio showing dashboards or SQL notebooks.
	•	❗ Python is listed but not demonstrated in any project.
	•	If not used, don’t mention it — or include a small project showcasing pandas, NumPy, or matplotlib.

Self-initiated projects built to demonstrate BI and Data Analysis proficiency for career transition.
[21:50, 26/06/2025] 🔗 Portfolio Build
	•	Include 2–3 Power BI dashboard screenshots or links via GitHub or Google Drive.
	•	Add a Python notebook using EDA or matplotlib/seaborn (e.g., EV data analysis project).

🗣 Improve Storytelling

Every project bullet should answer:
	•	What was the business problem?
	•	What was your specific role?
	•	What tech/tools did you use?
	•	What was the outcome?

[21:53, 26/06/2025] Here’s how you can structure GitHub + Portfolio:

🔗 GitHub Repo: xxxxx-bi-portfolio

/EV-Market-Dashboard/
	•	Power BI .pbix file
	•	Screenshot of report
	•	Summary.md explaining approach

/Business-Insight-360/
	•	.pbix and .sql files

	•	Report walkthrough PDF

/SQL-AdHoc-Analysis/
	•	10 SQL queries (.sql files)
	•	Problem statements + output samples
	•	Notebook (.ipynb) if using Python/SQLite
[21:56, 26/06/2025] 🔸 Tense/Clarity Issues:
	•	❌ “Developing Universe (dummy) as per the requirement…”
✅ Fix: “Developed Universes (dummy) based on requirements to support ad-hoc report creation.”
🔹 Use past tense for consistency.
	•	❌ “Experience on Teradata database, analysing business needs of clients.”
✅ Fix: “Worked on Teradata database to analyze client business needs.”
🔹 Avoid vague noun phrases like “experience on.”
	•	❌ “Knowledge on Dimensional Data Modelling…”
✅ Fix: “Applied knowledge of dimensional data modeling, including star and snowflake schema designs.”
	•	❌ “Updated the existing documents, and prepared the documents like…”
✅ Fix: “Updated existing documentation and created detailed functional and report design documents.”


🔸 Project Descriptions – Polish Style:
	•	✅ “Engineered an interactive Power BI dashboard…” – Correct and strong.
	•	⚠️ “Uncovered a 93.91% CAGR and 3.61% penetration rate…” –
Suggest more formal clarity:
✅ “Identified a 93.91% CAGR and 3.61% EV penetration rate through analysis, helping forecast high-growth regions.”
	•	❌ “Proposed data-driven strategies on manufacturing sites…”
✅ “Proposed data-driven strategies for manufacturing site selection, marketing, and brand positioning…”


🔸 Resume Challenge #4:
	•	✅ “Delivered actionable insights…” – Good.
	•	❌ “Executed 10 targeted SQL queries to address…”
✅ Minor fix for active tone: “Wrote and executed 10 targeted SQL queries addressing key business questions…”


✅ Certifications & Education Section:
	•	Grammatically fine.
	•	Could enhance with dates or remove “by” in “by Udemy”:
✅ “Complete Data Analytics Bootcamp – Udemy”
[21:56, 26/06/2025] Use strong action verbs in past tense and avoid generic phrases like “experience on” or “knowledge of.”
[21:58, 26/06/2025] Pratap: Just a request, it's fine if you say no
[21:58, 26/06/2025] ⚠️ Areas That Need More Metrics
	•	“Trained 10+ team members…”
➤ Add: “…resulting in 25% faster report delivery.”
	•	“Created reusable scripts…”
➤ Add: “…used across 3+ teams, saving ~10 hours per week.”
	•	“Prepared functional design documents…”
➤ Add: “…across 6+ projects, supporting 100% audit-readiness.”
[21:58, 26/06/2025] ⚠️ Time-based savings – Can expand beyond report creation.
	•	⚠️ Collaboration/team impact – Needs more quantification.
	•	⚠️ Automation/reuse impact – Underreported; opportunity to show tooling benefit.

Technical Impact
	•	Engineered
	•	Implemented
