Data Analyst Resume Template
A practical analytics resume for SQL, dashboards, reporting, stakeholder questions, and measurable business decisions.
Where this template wins
Use this for data analyst, BI analyst, operations analyst, marketing analyst, and business analyst applications. It keeps tools parseable while using bullets to show what decisions changed because of the analysis.
Layout and content guidance
- Layout
- Single-column, ATS-safe layout with a strong evidence block near the top and no tables, photos, icons, rating bars, or decorative sidebars.
- Font
- Use a professional sans-serif font that stays readable in PDF and ATS parsing. Keep the body around 10-11 pt, the name around 19-22 pt, and section headings compact and uppercase.
- Recommended headings
- Professional Summary, Skills, Experience, Selected Projects, Education
Section-by-section notes
Professional Summary
Use a short positioning line if it clarifies your analytics lane.
Skills
Group skills by how recruiters search for this role. Keep only skills you can defend in an interview.
Experience
Show the question, analysis, and decision. Reporting volume alone is not enough.
Selected Projects
Use one or two projects to prove target-role tools when professional experience is adjacent.
Education
Keep education concise unless a degree or certification is a job requirement.
Common mistakes
- Listing dashboards without explaining the business decision they supported
- Using vague data-cleaning bullets without volume, frequency, or stakeholder context
- Mixing every analytics tool into one unstructured skills paragraph
