You will need to acquire knowledge of various languages such as Java, Python, C++, SQL, Hadoop, Spark, Ruby, etc. on top of data analytics certification. It should be noted however that there is no need to learn all these languages as the requirement varies from company-to-company.

A good understanding of business, statistics and data manipulation is thus required in a data analyst.

The languages and tools which are required to be known by a data analyst includes SQL, R, Excel and Tableau for some cases.

Data Visualizer

Every kind of company or organization in today’s time possess a data visualizer or a business intelligence professional who is/are responsible for creating and presenting weekly insights and chart boards informing the management about the various metrics. The metrics may include the weekly sales of products manufactured by the company, the average time required for the delivery, or the total number of cancellations of orders and the reason for them.

Data Scientist

A data scientist is a person who utilizes the data in possession of the organization in order to design business-oriented learning models and machineries.

For instance, data scientists go through all the available data of the company and look at the buying patterns of the consumers, identify the popular items and more frequent users. Then they design algorithms based on that to automatically recommend the more popular products to frequent buyers on the basis of their navigation histories, purchasing histories or other similar parameters.

As you can see, there are all kinds of great data analytics jobs out there and so many ways to make a positive difference in the industry. So why not dive in?
