Recruiter concerns
Limited professional analyst experience
HighMost analytical work in the CV comes from coursework and a single internship. A recruiter may worry about how the candidate will perform when given an ambiguous business problem in a real setting.
Tools section is generic
MediumThe CV lists 'Excel, SQL, Python' without showing how they were used. The job description specifically asks for Excel and basic SQL — a recruiter scanning quickly may not see the relevant depth.
Communication skills are stated, not shown
LowThe CV says 'strong communication skills' without an example. For a junior role, a concrete example of explaining analysis to a non-technical audience would land better.
CV improvements: before and after
Before
Internship at a consulting firm. Supported the analytics team.
After
Internship at a consulting firm, supporting the analytics team on client projects. Helped prepare data, build basic models in Excel, and put together summary slides for client meetings.
Why: Same internship, but the day-to-day work is made visible so a recruiter can see the relevant analyst skills.
Before
University project on customer data using Python.
After
University project analysing a public customer dataset. Cleaned the data, ran a small analysis in Python, and presented the findings and recommendations to the course tutor.
Why: Turns a generic project line into a clear analyst story: question, analysis, recommendation.
Before
Tools: Excel, SQL, Python.
After
Tools: Excel (pivot tables, lookups, basic dashboards), SQL (simple SELECT and JOIN queries), Python (basic data exploration).
Why: Shows the actual level of each tool, which is what the job description is looking for — without overstating experience.
Improved bullets only reposition information already in the CV. They do not invent facts, companies, metrics, or responsibilities.
