How to write a data analyst CV

Professional summary

Write which data you analyse, in which product or industry, with which tools and which decisions you support. Add one business result, for example higher conversion or retention, because technology companies judge an analyst by their impact on the product. If recruitment is in English, prepare an English version of the CV as well.
