A data analyst resume, tailored: before and after
This is a sample resume (a made-up person named Jordan Sample) and a sample job post, run through TailorLock's checker. The numbers below came from that run.
The job post
Senior Data Analyst, Supply Chain. You will write SQL, build dashboards in Tableau or Looker, automate reporting with Python, and present insights to operations leadership. Experience with shipment and logistics data preferred. Nice to have: dbt, Snowflake, forecasting.
What changed
| Before (from the resume) | After |
|---|---|
| Automated Excel dashboards with Python, cutting report prep from 6 hours to 1 hour | Automated reporting with Python, cutting report prep from 6 hours to 1 hour |
| Presented findings to operations leadership every quarter | Presented supply chain findings to operations leadership every quarter |
| Cleaned sales data and maintained Tableau dashboards | Maintained Tableau dashboards and cleaned sales data |
Keyword overlap went from 52% to 72%. The summary line was added, built from phrases already in the resume.
What was refused
A deliberately bad draft in our tests added Looker, Snowflake and dbt to the skills line and changed "12 regional managers" to "40". The checker blocked all four of those items. The resume never mentions those tools, and the number was wrong.
What stayed out
The post lists forecasting and dbt as nice to have. Jordan's resume doesn't show them, so they aren't in the output. That is the intended result.
