In this talk, I share what it was really like spending seven months trying to land a job in today’s market, applying to both data analyst and data engineer roles. I’ll walk through how I approached it and how I changed my techniques along the way.

I’ll talk honestly about what actually helped me get interviews, what I found didn’t work, and the mistakes I made early on and currently. That includes how I handled resumes, technical interviews, networking, and figuring out what companies are really looking for when they hire for data roles.

I’ll also share the resources and tools I wish I knew about from the beginning things that would have saved me time, energy, and a lot of trial and error. The goal of this talk is to give practical, experience-based advice so others can approach their job search with a clearer plan and avoid some of the frustration I ran into.
