146: How I Plan to Help 52 People Land Data Jobs in 2025

Avery: 00:00:00

I want to help you become a data analyst.

2

: 00:00:02

This year, I have a goal to help someone

land a data job every single week.

3

: 00:00:06

That's 52 people in the year

that completely change their

4

: 00:00:09

lives and pivot into data.

5

: 00:00:11

And I plan to document the

entire mission with you guys.

6

: 00:00:15

I'll be calling the

whole thing mission 52.

7

: 00:00:18

And honestly, I'm pretty nervous.

8

: 00:00:20

I won't lie.

9

: 00:00:21

With the way the market has

been recently, this is a.

10

: 00:00:24

Pretty big goal and to be doing this

mission in public, or if I fail,

11

: 00:00:29

you will all know, and you will all

see is a little scary, but it's one

12

: 00:00:33

that I feel confident that I can do.

13

: 00:00:35

And that we can do together.

14

: 00:00:36

You see, I've been helping

people land data jobs for my

15

: 00:00:39

full time job for four years now.

16

: 00:00:41

And I feel pretty confident

in what I'm doing.

17

: 00:00:43

In fact, as of recording this,

which is about the second week in

18

: 00:00:46

January, we are right on schedule.

19

: 00:00:48

Ryan and Mason have already

landed jobs this year.

20

: 00:00:51

So, so far, so good.

21

: 00:00:52

And to make it more fun for you and

for everyone that I helped land a

22

: 00:00:56

job, hopefully you, I'm going to

give you a prize when you land a job.

23

: 00:01:00

I'm going to highlight you on

a billboard in Times Square.

24

: 00:01:03

And yes, you heard me right.

25

: 00:01:05

Just a huge billboard of

your face in the Big Apple.

26

: 00:01:07

Just like I did with my student Aaron

Sheena here, who landed a job last year.

27

: 00:01:11

We're going to tell your story and share

your success with the entire world.

28

: 00:01:15

So if you want your picture and your

story up in the bright lights of

29

: 00:01:19

Times Square, and honestly, if you

want to ruin me financially, because

30

: 00:01:22

let's be honest, billboards in Times

Square, they aren't exactly cheap.

31

: 00:01:26

Listen up because here are the five

main ways I'm going to help you.

32

: 00:01:29

Atlanta data job this year.

33

: 00:01:31

Number one, I will post

thousands of data jobs.

34

: 00:01:34

I run a data job board

called find the data job.

35

: 00:01:36

com.

36

: 00:01:37

And every day I post about 30

to 50 different data jobs on it.

37

: 00:01:41

These are jobs that my team and I find

online that aren't exactly the jobs you'd

38

: 00:01:45

find on say Indeed or LinkedIn jobs.

39

: 00:01:47

They're all on company websites,

which just as a side note.

40

: 00:01:50

That is the best place to apply.

41

: 00:01:51

And there's a search filter,

location, filters, a remote

42

: 00:01:54

filter, and even salary filters.

43

: 00:01:56

And the best part is it's a hundred

percent free and it will stay free.

44

: 00:02:00

This website actually costs me

money to run every single day.

45

: 00:02:03

So please just do me a favor.

46

: 00:02:05

And just use it, go to find a job.

47

: 00:02:07

com right now in your browser and

just bookmark it and use the crap

48

: 00:02:11

out of it because whether you

use it or not, I'm paying for it.

49

: 00:02:14

And so I would at least

rather have it help people.

50

: 00:02:15

If it's going to cost me money, I'm

telling you it's free and it's good.

51

: 00:02:18

I also run two other job boards.

52

: 00:02:20

One is a sports analytics job board,

which is called sports analytics jobs.

53

: 00:02:24

com.

54

: 00:02:24

I know I'm very original with my names.

55

: 00:02:26

So if you enjoy sports and analytics,

like I do check this one out, we

56

: 00:02:30

post data related jobs for athletic

related organizations, all over the

57

: 00:02:34

world, professional teams, college

teams, media, anything you can kind of

58

: 00:02:39

think of in the sports realm or post.

59

: 00:02:40

The other one is called premium data jobs.

60

: 00:02:42

com, which warning it is a

paid service, but we find you

61

: 00:02:45

special data jobs that are.

62

: 00:02:47

So specifically for you, we find fresh

jobs that have low candidates that

63

: 00:02:51

always have someone you can reach

out to and actually cold message.

64

: 00:02:54

So that way you have a

foot in the door already.

65

: 00:02:56

I recently made an episode

explaining this more in detail.

66

: 00:02:58

So I'll be sure to include that

in the show notes down below.

67

: 00:03:01

So you can check it out

if you're interested.

68

: 00:03:03

Number two, I'm going to publish 52

action packed new episodes, whether

69

: 00:03:07

you're listening to the audio version

of this podcast or you're watching

70

: 00:03:10

the video version on YouTube.

71

: 00:03:12

Every Tuesday, I publish an

information packed episode.

72

: 00:03:15

That will help you grow your data

career in just a few minutes.

73

: 00:03:19

Sometimes it's a solo show like

this, where I pick a topic that I

74

: 00:03:22

think all of my students could use

some insight on, but other times I

75

: 00:03:25

interviewed the best of the best data

experts in the entire world, people

76

: 00:03:30

like Zach Wilson, Alex, the analyst.

77

: 00:03:32

Stat Quest or Cole Afflic,

just to name a few.

78

: 00:03:35

Either way, no matter what, every

Tuesday you'll be learning something

79

: 00:03:38

valuable in each episode and something

that you can actually act on.

80

: 00:03:43

I hate when educators and teachers just

give you the theory I'm all about, give me

81

: 00:03:47

tangible application and execution theory

is great, but only two justify the means.

82

: 00:03:52

These episodes have one goal and one

goal alone help you in your data career.

83

: 00:03:57

Number three, I'm going to be

sharing free educational content.

84

: 00:04:00

Every day, every day, you'll find me

typing up a LinkedIn post for the 130,

85

: 00:04:04

000 of you that follow me over there.

86

: 00:04:07

That's not going to stop anytime soon.

87

: 00:04:09

So make sure you go find

me on LinkedIn right now.

88

: 00:04:12

Hit the follow button and the bell

icon so you don't miss anything.

89

: 00:04:15

Once again, I try to post applicable

things that you can actually do today

90

: 00:04:19

to land a data job more quickly.

91

: 00:04:20

No fluff, no crap, just helpful things.

92

: 00:04:23

Also be posting more on my Instagram this

year, which I'm really excited about.

93

: 00:04:26

A lot of it will be behind the

scenes stuff and stuff that

94

: 00:04:29

maybe I don't post on LinkedIn.

95

: 00:04:31

Also, if you are watching on YouTube,

I post a lot on the YouTube community

96

: 00:04:34

page, and I encourage all of you

guys to go take a look at that and to

97

: 00:04:38

leave a comment there as well, because

I'm trying to personally respond to

98

: 00:04:41

every single comment I get on my.

99

: 00:04:43

YouTube community page.

100

: 00:04:45

And lastly, I do have a Tik Tok, but

at the time of recording, it's not

101

: 00:04:48

really clear whether that's staying

or going inside the United States.

102

: 00:04:51

It's kind of up in the air.

103

: 00:04:52

So if Tik Tok still

around, go follow me there.

104

: 00:04:54

But if not, don't worry, whatever

social media platform you use, you'll

105

: 00:04:57

find it in the description down

below and you can go follow me there.

106

: 00:05:00

And I'd love to hear from all of you.

107

: 00:05:02

Okay.

108

: 00:05:02

Next number four.

109

: 00:05:03

I'm doubling down on my weekly newsletter.

110

: 00:05:06

Every Wednesday, I send out

the data career newsletter.

111

: 00:05:09

This is where I highlight the

most important lesson of the week.

112

: 00:05:12

I do giveaways, I provide the

data job of the week, and I

113

: 00:05:15

share other helpful musings.

114

: 00:05:17

It's usually pretty short and simple.

115

: 00:05:19

It takes way less than

five minutes to read.

116

: 00:05:21

And honestly, I think everything

that I'm teaching in there, I'm

117

: 00:05:24

giving in there will save you

hours of time in your data journey.

118

: 00:05:27

So if you aren't subscribed, go join the

15, 000 other aspiring data professionals.

119

: 00:05:31

And subscribe, it's a

hundred percent free.

120

: 00:05:33

And lastly, number five, I'll continue

running the accelerator program.

121

: 00:05:37

Now as a heads up, this is a paid program,

but honestly, it's quite a bit more

122

: 00:05:41

affordable than most other bootcamps.

123

: 00:05:42

If you didn't know, I run a bootcamp.

124

: 00:05:44

It's called the data analytics

accelerator, and it's literally

125

: 00:05:47

helped hundreds of people

land their first data job.

126

: 00:05:49

It's a 12 week program

designed around my SPN method.

127

: 00:05:52

That actually helps you land a data job.

128

: 00:05:54

Of course, we teach the skills,

but we also help you build projects

129

: 00:05:57

and help grow your network.

130

: 00:05:58

We teach you Excel, Tableau, SQL,

Python, R, and Power BI by helping

131

: 00:06:03

you do real projects with sales,

healthcare, education, sports,

132

: 00:06:06

manufacturing, financial, and HR data.

133

: 00:06:09

All real data sets from the wild.

134

: 00:06:11

We help you with your LinkedIn and

your resume as well as job hunting.

135

: 00:06:14

Plus we have live office hours every

single week and a community that

136

: 00:06:18

you can literally post in 24 seven.

137

: 00:06:20

This has been the vehicle that has driven

many to landing their first day at a job

138

: 00:06:23

and that will stay true this year as well.

139

: 00:06:25

So if you've been subscribed to my channel

for a while, you've probably seen just a

140

: 00:06:29

fraction of our awesome success stories

like Trevor Maxwell going from a printer

141

: 00:06:33

technician with no college degree to

business analyst, or Alex Sanchez going

142

: 00:06:38

from a high school teacher to data analyst

at seven 11, or maybe Aaron Sheena,

143

: 00:06:43

who was a music therapist and now is a

financial analyst at a fortune 50 company.

144

: 00:06:48

excited to keep leading it in: 2025

149

: 00:07:01

highlight you on your own personal

152

: 00:07:08

billboard in Times Square.

153

: 00:07:10

I promise there's not

gonna be other people.

154

: 00:07:11

It's just you.

155

: 00:07:12

And literally Times Square.

156

: 00:07:13

There's no catches about this.

157

: 00:07:14

I'll pay for the whole thing.

158

: 00:07:15

But before any of that, I

actually need your help.

159

: 00:07:18

If I'm going to pull this whole

thing off this mission 52, I'm not

160

: 00:07:22

going to be able to do it alone.

161

: 00:07:24

I'm going to need your

help to get the word out.

162

: 00:07:26

Hitting subscribe, leaving a comment

or resharing any of my content

163

: 00:07:29

is a really simple and easy way.

164

: 00:07:31

That you can help mission 52, it

literally costs you nothing and

165

: 00:07:34

it takes you less than 30 seconds.

166

: 00:07:36

So thank you already for

helping out this mission.

167

: 00:07:39

And I want to make sure I stay

accountable to literally the thousands

168

: 00:07:42

of you who are listening right now.

169

: 00:07:43

So I'll be documenting this entire

mission, this entire journey in public.

170

: 00:07:48

If I fail, you will know, which is scary.

171

: 00:07:50

I'm very scared about that, but

I want to share the reality that

172

: 00:07:53

you can land a data job this year.

173

: 00:07:55

Even in today's market, you can do it.

174

: 00:07:57

And so you can watch the

progress of these 52 individuals.

175

: 00:08:00

In three different places.

176

: 00:08:02

Number one, I'll have a website

dedicated to Mission 52.

177

: 00:08:05

It's going to be datacrewjumpstart.

178

: 00:08:06

com slash mission, and I'll

update that periodically.

179

: 00:08:09

Number two, I'll talk about

the progress periodically in my

180

: 00:08:12

newsletter, about once a month.

181

: 00:08:13

So you can stay tuned to the

newsletter to get the updates there.

182

: 00:08:16

And number three, I'll be sharing the

highlights of this Mission 52 on my

183

: 00:08:21

Instagram story so you can follow there.

184

: 00:08:23

So please follow this mission

and share with your friends.

185

: 00:08:26

We can do this, I think.
