3 rules for a strong Data Analyst headline

  • 1

    Name your stack (SQL is non-negotiable; add your BI tool — Power BI, Tableau, or Looker).

  • 2

    Quantify a business outcome you enabled, not just tasks you did.

  • 3

    If you do experimentation, say 'A/B testing' — it's a high-signal recruiter keyword.
