How do I build a portfolio as a data analyst?

Start by using public datasets to create real-world projects that demonstrate your analysis and communication skills. A strong portfolio helps employers see how you think and work with data.

Steps to build your portfolio:

• Choose a dataset from sources like Kaggle or data.gov
• Analyze the data using Excel, SQL, or Python
• Visualize your findings using Tableau or Power BI
• Document your process and insights clearly
• Publish your work on GitHub, a personal website, or Medium

Highlight your problem-solving approach and how your insights could drive decisions.
