Edited TLDR version - Live session where we'll go over the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. I'll give you my thoughts on the certificate (spoiler alert: I think this is such a great program) but I'll go into specifics on why it's such a great program and give you my tips on how to get the most out of this program and set yourself up for success so you don't just give up after a month :P đź”—Affiliates ======================== Google Data Analytics Certificate: https://coursera.pxf.io/5bD1vL My SQL for data science interviews course (10 full interviews): https://365datascience.com/learn-sql-for-data-science-interviews/ 365 Data Science: https://365datascience.pxf.io/WD0za3 (link for 57% discount for their complete data science training) Check out StrataScratch for data science interview prep: https://stratascratch.com/?via=tina _____________________________________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Agenda 01:07 Certificate Overview 02:42 Course Breakdowns + Reviews 13:28 Capstone project and why you should definitely do it 15:53 Can you really get a job after completion? 18:58 How to stand out 20:46 How to set yourself up for success (especially if you have laziness problems) 30:02 Who benefits the most 31:22 Who is it not for _____________________________________________________________________ Other videos you might be interested in How to learn data science in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axu4tJl8gbM The resume that got me into FAANG as a data scientist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-x-yXXE9I ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UXDak6o7rBm23k3Vv5dww/?sub_confirmation=1 ______________________________________________________________________ Real SQL interview question walkthrough series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td-cmLfQ7uU&list=PLVD3APpfd1tuXrXBWAntLx4tNaONro5dA Check out StrataScratch for SQL interview prep: https://stratascratch.com/?via=tina ______________________________________________________________________ About me Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :) I have accepted that I will forever be a lazy person so have since decided to embrace that. My motto is to always minimize effort and maximize outcome! ______________________________________________________________________ Contact youtube: youtube comments are by far the best way to get a response from me! linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/ email for business inquiries only: hellotinah@gmail.com If you're reaching out through linkedin, please leave a youtube comment just letting me know that you reached out :) ______________________________________________________________________ Links marked with * are affiliate links which I may receive a small portion of the sales price at no cost to you.
