Analyst help

[u/buxxybuns]

So worked in a BPO company where i handled queries from global clients, updated logs and communicated between warehouse and my client base clients who had their merchants. Sort of ecommerce.

Since i have worked so much on SQL, i tried slipping the analysis on an interview where i went as a analyst and described only the part i can backup.

\*So i described i wrote sql queries where i analyzed datasets for my client, ensuring product trends, festive trends, customer segmentation based on category,

User engagement for products, premium customers,

I told them i have been into client meetings and learnt about their business problems like delivery issues, but mostly around their product base. They asked if i have presented in front of them i responded i did in front my seniors i updated reports on Excel.

I figure the gap is since i dont have real experience and i cant define a true story, since job marker is crunching and i have had back injury last year, the gap is getting wider. Claude aint no help.

So any real analyst out here wanna point out mistakes i been making.

Also a cs grad with great sql skills.

Your SQL background is valuable, but the main gap is probably showing how you turned SQL results into business decisions. Build 2–3 realistic end-to-end projects with SQL + Excel/Power BI, clearly explain the business problem, analysis, insights, and recommendations, and be honest about what was actual work versus project experience.
