In this week’s video, I’m reviewing your portfolios (thank you Randall, Rimpa, and Ruiz for submitting!) - and giving direct feedback on the rigor of your insights, clarity of your visualizations, and structure of your approach. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty so you can learn exactly what to do (and not to do) in your projects - stick to the end for a stellar example showing the right level of detail and insights that impress! ABOUT ME If we haven’t met yet - hi! I’m Christine, a former data director and hiring manager helping ambitious career transitioners and recent grads land their first job as a data analyst.
