I am now 29 years old.

I changed my career from Recreational Therapy to Data Analysis at 21.

I got married and had 3 kids when I was 22.

I started my YouTube channel when I was 24.

I quit my full time job to start my own business at 27.

I got made the best cake in the world at 29.

And now I'm on the cusp of my 30s where I hope I accomplish as much as I did in my 20s!

In next week's video we are looking at data surrounding the Economy.

Now I'm no economist, but I am fairly obsessed with looking into data and following trends - and things aren't looking good. There are several indicators that we are in for a very tough 3-5 years.

In this video we will dive into the data and see what it tells us and what to except.

This isn't one of my normal videos where I teach how to analyze data, but we do see how to look at multiple data points and draw conclusions from them.

I think you should look at your job search in terms of percentages.

If you have a great resume you have a 10% chance of getting a job.

- Portfolio of Projects = +5%
- Working with a Recruiter = +10% (another 5% for working with multiple)
- Targeting companies that are in your domain = +5%
- Moving to major metropolitan area = +5%

Everything you do will increase your odds of getting a job. It doesn't guarantee a job, but you want to give yourself the best chance possible!

Year 1:
Coworker: "Do you know Excel?"
Me: "Yeah, absolutely! How can I help?"
Coworker: "I have these 10 projects I need help with. Really appreciate your help!"

Year 5:
Coworker: "Do you know Excel?"
Me: "I've never heard of it. Is that some kind of CRM?"
Coworker: "Oh, I'll go ask Bob. Thanks anyway."

Life Lesson: Never tell your friends or coworkers you know Excel.

People are still getting jobs in Analytics every day!

The market is tough, but there are still opportunities out there.

I shared a picture the other day of someone who landed a job. I got messages saying I was cherry picking someone getting a job when most people aren’t.

I actually get these messages every day! There is still a lot of opportunity in this market. Learn the skills, create a portfolio and resume, work with recruiters, and apply and reach out relentlessly.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t shoot.

All of these messages are from 2024 so I can tell you people are still hiring and people are finding jobs.

This is just a small handful of the messages I’ve recieved just this year.
