What was the most impressive thing you learned during the seminar?

• The advice that you have to apply to find out if you're ready was very helpful. Only by putting it out there will you know if you need more! I'll have to apply for more.

• I remember the speaker's job preparation process itself being very much like a data analyst.

• I enjoyed the relatively detailed story of how a non-major became a data analyst, and the various experiences and practical tips I gained.

• I appreciated the step-by-step explanation of how a non-major could become a data analyst, detailing how to leverage my existing skills and how to learn if I didn't. As a non-major, it was incredibly empowering!

• What impressed me was that being a non-major is not a weakness, and that you should turn the soft skills you can showcase as a non-major into strengths, and that you should always be prepared for questions related to the connection between your major and your job.

• Thank you for showing me an example of connecting seemingly unrelated things, which gave me a concrete idea of how to write it.

• What I found most impressive and helpful was how I sorted out what I had and what I lacked, and how I could fill in those gaps!

• I was impressed by the job posting, which encouraged me to look into what kind of analyst I wanted to be and to apply without waiting.

• I was impressed by the part about how you have to apply to find out if you'll be accepted or not. It made me realize that you shouldn't delay applying just because you're preparing.

• I had a vague idea that I should analyze job postings like data, but it was really helpful that you actually did it, and I was able to make a plan for what to prepare first.

• What I remember is that it takes time to define not just the technology itself, but also what direction you want to take as an analyst by utilizing it.
