Requirement → evidence

Map the role before rewriting the resume

Each requirement is kept separate from the evidence that supports it. Partial support stays qualified, and missing proof remains visible instead of becoming an invented claim.

Reporting automation

Matched

Automated a SQL and Python reporting workflow that cut weekly reporting from six hours to 40 minutes.

Dashboards

Matched

Built a self-service retention dashboard used by 45 product, marketing, and operations stakeholders.

Experiment analysis

Partial

Analysed two onboarding tests and presented confidence intervals, but experiment design ownership is not shown.

Data quality

Matched

Added validation checks that reduced recurring customer-segment reporting defects by 31%.

dbt

Gap

No production dbt ownership found. Keep the tool out unless a real transformation or testing example exists.

Before and after

Turn a generic bullet into role-relevant evidence

Original resume bullet

Created reports and dashboards for business stakeholders using company data.

Tailored from supported evidence

Automated weekly customer reporting with SQL and Python, reducing preparation time from six hours to 40 minutes and enabling self-service analysis for 45 stakeholders.

  • Replaces a generic reporting claim with a measurable time saving
  • Names the supported analysis tools and stakeholder reach
  • Keeps dbt out because the source resume does not provide evidence
Supported skills

Keep the skills list connected to evidence

These terms belong in the example because the evidence map supports them. A keyword from the job description is not enough on its own.

Role-specific review

Data Analyst resume checklist

  • Name the decision or workflow the analysis supported
  • Quantify time saved, defects reduced, adoption, or business impact
  • Separate analysis ownership from experiment design ownership
  • Show how findings were communicated to non-technical teams
  • Do not add tools that appear only in the job description
