How to Attract Analytics Recruiters on LinkedIn
How to Get an Analytics Job

Want to break into the analytics industry or land a promotion? Apply for my career services program here: https://learn.silvertoneanalytics.com/career-services/
In this podcast episode John David breaks down how to approach building a following on LinkedIn. Last week one of his students made 7 highly engaging posts which lead to 3 recruiters reaching out to her for interviews. This is a great tactic to deploy if you are trying to break into the space or land a promotion at another company.
Podcast notes:
Last week one of my analytics students had 3 recruiters reach out to her
She made 7 engaging posts on here and grew her following by over 1,000 connections
Here’s how she did it...
COPYWRITING
LinkedIn can be a powerful tool for you to leverage to become a data analyst too
But you need to know how the game works...
What makes a post viral vs a bust is how much time on average people stop scrolling their LinkedIn feed to read what you wrote and engage with your content
This requires a solid hook, or attention grabber and enough of a call to action to drive a person to click “see more” on your post
Shout out to Ian Klosowicz who has done an amazing job in his role of helping our Silvertone Analytics students button up their brand and broadcast themselves into the analytics industry

In this podcast episode Albert Bellamy talks to my Greensboro College students about LinkedIn. Over the past 4 months Al has seen some massive growth on LinkedIn and established his own personal brand as an aspiring analyst. He has even taken over the LinkedIn page for the "How to Get an Analytics" channel and within a little bit over a month grown the company page by 4x.
Albert breaks down how to create engaging content on LinkedIn, how to build out an effective LinkedIn profile and also talks about the LinkedIn algorithm. An interesting insight he touched on too is how LinkedIn is a "content poor" social media platform. This means that not many people are posting regularly at the moment. This is a great opportunity for you to fill the void and make a big bang on the platform if you start creating well written and thoughtful content.
Welcome to the How to Get an Analytics Job channel. Discover how you fit into the analytics marketplace, what skills you should build, and how to land your analytics dream job.

In this Tactical Tuesday episode John David and Dr. Hall talk to Jason Krantz about the skills you need to cultivate to land your ideal analytics job. Jason makes the argument that hard skills, while important, are no longer as much as a differentiator on the job market. Analytics hard skills are becoming more commoditized as new tools are being put out on the market place. It is much harder to develop business knowledge or acumen which he believes is the true skill that will help you stand out during an interview.

Analytics agency owner John David Ariansen and career coach Elizabeth Illig will give you tips and tricks to land your dream job and level up your analytics career.

How to Negotiate a Higher Analytics Salary
How to Get an Analytics Job
01/09/23 • 5 min
Want to break into the analytics industry or land a promotion? Apply for my career services program here: https://learn.silvertoneanalytics.com/career-services/
In this podcast episode John David talks about the pros and cons of leveraging applying or networking to land an analytics job.
Podcast notes:
Most analysts are not great at advocating for themselves.
We’ve helped analysts negotiate $30k, $40k and even a $50k raise.
Here’s a concept that you can use to ask for more money...
ANCHORING
If you are currently working a job that pays you well beneath market value then you’re at a steep disadvantage from a negotiation stand point.
Your manager associates you with a low salary and potentially even low value to the company.
This is where ANCHORING comes into play.
In terms of negotiation, your value in your manager's mind is anchored at a low point. Any negotiation will be in comparison to where you currently are. This means you need to pull off a MAJOR win to get even a small raise.
One way to get anchoring on your side is to quantify the impact of your work in your resume and apply for a new job.
Your new employer doesn’t need to know your old salary.
You can just highlight the economic impact that you’ve had in that previous role.
