How to get a job in analytics

Analytics as a field is broad, and there are various roles you can pursue, including data analyst, data scientist, business intelligence analyst, and more. 

Getting a job in analytics typically involves a combination of education, skills development, networking, and searching for the right job. As analytical careers grow in popularity, we thought it would be a good time to ask some of our Analysts for their advice about how to get into a job Analytics. Here’s what they said...

  • To develop your passion, the big step would be to opt for a degree, or A-level in a mathematical subject such as Maths, Physics, Engineering (or another STEM degree). Check out STEM Learning which is dedicated to improving young people’s lives through the power of STEM and believes great STEM education builds knowledge and skills that are vital for everyone.
  • We generally look for individuals who have a logical approach to problem-solving and attention to detail. If you’re good at crosswords, sudoku, quizzes or other problem-solving activities, then this is great practice and it shows us you’re a logical thinker.
  • Experience in a programming language or even using Excel and writing macros in Visual Basic will also support you in working towards an analytical career.
  • It’s not just about working on your own, a key part of working in Analytics is the ability to explain technical concepts to a non-technical audience. This is an acquired skill, so any experience that you can get in this would be advantageous.
