Data analyst resumes: SQL, BI tools, and decisions — not tool tourism

Analyst ads cluster around SQL, a warehouse or BI stack, and a domain (growth, finance, ops). Name what you used — then show a decision, dashboard, or reconciliation that mattered.

Common stacks to mirror carefully

• SQL, Python, modeling tools like dbt when relevant
• Warehouse and BI names from the posting
• Experimentation or funnel language for product analytics roles
• Close / forecast language for finance-leaning roles

Example bullets

• Built a retention dashboard leadership used to prioritize onboarding fixes
• Wrote SQL pipelines reconciling processor totals to the warehouse before close
• Analyzed checkout drop-off and proposed a form change later validated in a test
