So i had an interview for a BI Analyst position last week and created a Power Point highlighting my skill set and how it's related to that position. has anyone done that before.. ???

the guy did ask if i had tableau experience and dealing with dashboards.

i said not directly, but worked off the data that was collected.. i think i fudged that up :nervous::nervous:

The BI world is a bit interesting, with that being said, no I've never made my resume into a power point. I've done PDF versions of it and send it along with word docs, but not ppt's.

I think the general rule in the BI world is familiarizing yourself with industry technology and standards (gartner etc) keep up to date with platform news (SFDC purchases ET etc) and ultimately have a deep knowledge of how data drives business and business process management.

tools are flashy, they are meant to appeal to users in it that you want to empower your end users to interact with the data.

i might stick with the ppt presentation for future interviews.
also watched the introduction videos they have on tableau's website. they also provide you with a data set to practice.

thx for the reply

i don't have a preference per se but the company i'm working for this summer uses Tableau, so i'm learning more about companies like it and what they do.

So I started working for a company that uses
Kofax Altosoft Insight for their dashboards development.

I work in Finance (mutual funds)

so far it looks pretty cool... dashboard development has a "wizard" type of a process. so the final PDF output looks something like this:
