My name's Junaid and I'm a data analyst working for a financial services firm in central London.
In today's video I go over my background, how I landed my role, and the skills and tools that think are the most important.
I dive deeper into how I used LinkedIn, Wall Street Oasis and CV feedback to give myself the best chance of landing my role.
The team within the company is very new, and so I find my role encompasses a lot of what I did as investment analyst intern at UBS, alongside more traditional data analysis.
Better 8 months later than never.

Great video, very nice to watch and amazing audio clarity. Also I will soon use the STAR layout for my cv!
Hi Junaid, very informative videos. Always wanted to become Data analyst. Thank you.
Fantastic stuff. I’m working in a similar position working as a data analyst within an investment division. Key tools I use are Excel, SQL Server, PowerPoint and PowerBI. Also good presentation skills along with design & creativity are important to ensure you get your message across.
Oh yes presentation skills are so important ☝🏼
what do you mean by that? Do we have to explain everything after doing all the mining, cleaning, and visualization?
That's a great video! Thanks buddy.
Need More content about data analytics man in the video is clear cut and smashing keep rocking
This video so inspiring. Thank you bro
Thanks for making quality content
Clear and concise, you've got you a follow
Extremely informative; thanks for sharing the tips
The first time I found a Pakistani person with that type of quality content. Amazing Junaid Ahmad, love to see more from you.
Appreciate it!

@@junaid_ahmed_ i was about to mention the king Irfan Junejo. Much love to you and him from the other side of the border ☺️
Hi Junaid, amazing video, I’ve always been interested in the data science field, and working full time as a data analyst. But I have a few questions about the same. It would mean so much to me if I could have 20 minutes of your time and discuss those questions.
And again, thanks for the great content 😊
Hi nandini
Of course I can shoot me any questions via preferably LinkedIn or Instagram, happy to help!
Really insightful video that was well organized I must say. Nice work
Thank you ❤️
Hey Junaid,
Actually the video is excellent because of the stuff provided by you.
Even the video Is like a professional view but what I felt like the bgm was dominating your voice even and u can increase the light in the video...
Hey could you tell me what topics of statistics you think very important for this role and where you analyze the data?
Very Usefull
Thank you for this wonderful video
I am a math teacher and I want to change my career to data analysis and I am 35 years old.
Is it still too early to take lessons in this field and how long will it take me? knowing that my level is good in programming and SQL.
Hi Junaid, first of you give me hope that I can be one of data analyst. But the thing is how to get into this field without having work experience. How to reach out people so that at least they interview us.
You should make more videos!
YOU DID NOT SUGGEST FOR POWER BI
WHY THAT SO
one more question I am average in mathematics hence can I still become good in data analyst.?
Hi which is the best video or course to learn Excel for data analyst
Cool video. Any helpful resource or actual projects that helps you with the necessaire experience in excel?, given the low % of internships available. Enterprises usually ask for a lot of experience but dont provide the opportunities to do so.
Hello, I studied computer science in the University and just recently graduated. I aspiring to be a Data Analyst but I have no background in finance. I do hear people mention it all the time that you'd need good financial knowledge. How would you advise me to go about that?
Hey Junaid, i am university student majoring in Business Administration and aspiring to become a Business analyst. I am applying for internships this summer and i am clueless as to what kind of internships would give me greater practical knowledge and guide me a step closer to achieve my goal. could you please give me some intern job titles where i will be taught about these skills.
Hey Junaid, I come from a Business studies backgorund and I only have a GCSE math background but I have learned all the technical skills like sql etc. Do I need to learn more advanced maths for this?
Hey Junaid, great video! I'm in uni at the moment looking to steer towards a career in Data/Financial Analysis and was wondering if it would be more useful to major in Economics or Finance as a major with Data as my minor?
Again, thank you
Both are equally as good, it would depend on what sector you want to work in. Again you’ll learn great transferable skills from both Economics or Finance.
I have done my graduation from B. A (economic+geography) , may I eligible for jobs in data science after learning. Skills likes sql, advance excel, power bi, paython etc. Or I have to struggle to get a job?
What's the background music in "How I landed a job" it's beautiful name please
Can I switch my job to data analytics learning skills?
Hey, if we have any query, how we can connect with you? Please reply.
is it possible to get job as data analyst without degree! i am currently in my first year of Information technology!
thinking about going for Google data analytics ccourse?
Hi hope you are doing great junaid. I want to know about something & I will appreciate if you provide me some right guidance as well as suggestions. I have completed my Bachelor's & my major was management. Now! I want to study Data Analyst but my cgpa is low it’s 2.70 from a national university. My bachelor degree was a professional degree which is mostly known as professional BBA. I heard from some random individuals that 2.70 cgpa is low to do Master’s in Data analyst & suggested me to do Post graduate diploma in Data analyst. Now I want to know is it possible to do PGD in Data analyst with low cgpa? and if possible can I do Master’s in Data Analyst with this cgpa. My heart will fill up with joy if you take some time to answer my doubts.
Thank you in advance!
Honestly I’d apply to both if possible, both postgrad dip and masters. Learn Python and SQL in your own time along the way.
my dear @junaidahmed "Your accent is so charming!".
sir can one from healthcare administration background move to data analyst
Assalamo alaikum
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and advice with us. I completed my Masters in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence from University of Liverpool back in 2021. Since that time I have been applying for Data Science jobs such as data scientist, data analyst but couldn't get yet, infact not even a single interview call. I already hold tech skills such as python, sql, power bi, excel, machine learning, little bit of deep learning and did projects in them but still have no idea what could be the reason for not getting a single call after applying to 600+ companies. After I completed my Masters, I shifted to London in 2021 with the hope of getting a job here but still waiting for it. I only manage to get odd jobs just to cover my expenses but none of the odd jobs provide any sponsorship in future.
I am already in psw which would expire by early mid of 2024 so I am really tensed now.
If you’ve genuinely applied to over 600+ roles I’d look at overhauling your application process using the WSO CV template. You really shouldn’t have trouble landing a role with an MSc in Data Science and AI
Yes I know despite having degree and skills, still I couldn't get a single interview call. I applied to some of them through LinkedIn, some through indeed and some through their own websites. I had been applying and applying since 3rd quarter of 2021 especially when I shifted to London.
Can you again explain that what did you mean by "overhauling the application process"?
@@addarzful hi, have got job in your field?
so the prerequisite to be a data analyst is math like you need to be advance at it?
I too working as data analyst its like a crazy stuff to visualize thing with playing data provided by client by the way I am love with your accent its fucking diabolical from now on I am subscriber may you grow and I ll be consider your fan
Hello, I'm a former web designer trying to get into data analytics. I've seen others recommend power bi or tableau. Do you use any of those tools?
Power BI yes, tableau not as much. However the more bases you can cover will only increase your chances of landing a role. So my advice, learn both, it isn’t impossible🙂
Any opinion on Googles Data Analytics Cert Program? I’m still toward the beginnings of the Program, but I’ve already learned that it will only cover some of Excel and focus mainly on R. No Python, SQL, Tableau, or even Power BI.
It does have Excel, SQL, Tableau & R but it's not in depth, you won't feel job ready at all by the end of the program. There's too much fluff and not enough focus on these skills and their practice.
Can you share the link for your CV?
U should start a database analyst course to guide other
From India ☺️❤️
osam bro
But why with these things why my resume is not being shortlisted why i am not getting jobs
Thanks for the tips !
What do you think of people who have no background in science/finance/economy ? In my case, I have a master in law and I'm 31. The only link I have with science is my A level in science, but that's irrelevant and it was a long time ago.
I'm currently studying data science and statistics through different courses and watching videos like yours on the internet. But to be fair, finding an internship at my age in France is quite impossible.
So my question is, have you seen this kind of unconventional profile near you ?
Thank you again
You will find such examples on some Indian CZcams channels like E-learning Bridge, Technical Suneja etc.
I have 1 linkedin connection who become Machine learning engineer with Bachelor of Arts degree.
@@entertainingshorts24 Thanks for your reply
I’d highly recommend a good online coding bootcamp, they usually last 3-6 months. I’ve seen people from non-technical backgrounds work their way into analytics using them!
@@junaid_ahmed_can you please suggest good online bootcamp course???? In UK... I am interested in the data analysis bt not finding right way
skills vs communication skills ...which is more important in cracking an interview
Communication
bsc math honours student became a data analyst plzzz reply me
Are you UK citizen? Bcoz it is relatively hard to find job for international students.
I want to become data analyst please guide me
I am a marine biology student... currently in final year but i really wanna switch my career
I have no prior knowledge in this field ...can you please guide me ..on where and how should I start and with dedication how much time it will take ...and most importantly is it really possible to crack a good job in this field...by self study without having a related degree?
Thankyou in Advance!
Yes, it’s possible, and can take anywhere from 8 months to a year. With no prior knowledge I’d recommend starting off with building Excel skills, and when comfortable add Python and SQL. Then I’d definitely recommend an online bootcamp to solidify your foundation in data.
Your warm light is good but use it evenly
hi, i'm in early 30s now i become a data analyst, ?
what about power bi or tableau?
I don’t use tableau as much in my role, but Power BI yes after Excel, Python and SQL. Tools used are largely role-specific
Hi. Is this work without any degree ?
are you happy with your job how much stress you get being a data analyst
This is actually a creative and very subtle way to express your steps to being a data analyst this video is very helpful.
I am currently studying business analytics msc and also want to divert to a data analyst in job hunting
Can you please give the right certifications to get the technical skills of excel, power bi, sql and python.
And also on the internship because i am in London also how can i get the best internship
Business analytics is a great foundation to get a job in analytics, I’d recommend polishing up on Excel and Python, and take an online SQL-related short course
@@junaid_ahmed_ thanks for the advice
I really appreciate it
Thank you. Can we contact you direct.
