I want to help you become a data analyst.

2

This year, I have a goal to help someone

land a data job every single week.

3

That's 52 people in the year

that completely change their

4

lives and pivot into data.

5

And I plan to document the

entire mission with you guys.

6

I'll be calling the

whole thing mission 52.

7

And honestly, I'm pretty nervous.

8

I won't lie.

9

With the way the market has

been recently, this is a.

10

Pretty big goal and to be doing this

mission in public, or if I fail,

11

you will all know, and you will all

see is a little scary, but it's one

12

that I feel confident that I can do.

13

And that we can do together.

14

You see, I've been helping

people land data jobs for my

15

full time job for four years now.

16

And I feel pretty confident

in what I'm doing.

17

In fact, as of recording this,

which is about the second week in

18

January, we are right on schedule.

19

Ryan and Mason have already

landed jobs this year.

20

So, so far, so good.

21

And to make it more fun for you and

for everyone that I helped land a

22

job, hopefully you, I'm going to

give you a prize when you land a job.

23

I'm going to highlight you on

a billboard in Times Square.

24

And yes, you heard me right.

25

Just a huge billboard of

your face in the Big Apple.

26

Just like I did with my student Aaron

Sheena here, who landed a job last year.

27

We're going to tell your story and share

your success with the entire world.

28

So if you want your picture and your

story up in the bright lights of

29

Times Square, and honestly, if you

want to ruin me financially, because

30

let's be honest, billboards in Times

Square, they aren't exactly cheap.

31

Listen up because here are the five

main ways I'm going to help you.

32

Atlanta data job this year.

33

Number one, I will post

thousands of data jobs.

34

I run a data job board

called find the data job.

35

com.

36

And every day I post about 30

to 50 different data jobs on it.

37

These are jobs that my team and I find

online that aren't exactly the jobs you'd

38

find on say Indeed or LinkedIn jobs.

39

They're all on company websites,

which just as a side note.

40

That is the best place to apply.

41

And there's a search filter,

location, filters, a remote

42

filter, and even salary filters.

43

And the best part is it's a hundred

percent free and it will stay free.

44

This website actually costs me

money to run every single day.

45

So please just do me a favor.

46

And just use it, go to find a job.

47

com right now in your browser and

just bookmark it and use the crap

48

out of it because whether you

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

49

And so I would at least

rather have it help people.

50

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

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

51

I also run two other job boards.

52

One is a sports analytics job board,

which is called sports analytics jobs.

53

com.

54

I know I'm very original with my names.

55

So if you enjoy sports and analytics,

like I do check this one out, we

56

post data related jobs for athletic

related organizations, all over the

57

world, professional teams, college

teams, media, anything you can kind of

58

think of in the sports realm or post.

59

The other one is called premium data jobs.

60

com, which warning it is a

paid service, but we find you

61

special data jobs that are.

62

So specifically for you, we find fresh

jobs that have low candidates that

63

always have someone you can reach

out to and actually cold message.

64

So that way you have a

foot in the door already.

65

I recently made an episode

explaining this more in detail.

66

So I'll be sure to include that

in the show notes down below.

67

So you can check it out

if you're interested.

68

Number two, I'm going to publish 52

action packed new episodes, whether

69

you're listening to the audio version

of this podcast or you're watching

70

the video version on YouTube.

71

Every Tuesday, I publish an

information packed episode.

72

That will help you grow your data

career in just a few minutes.

73

Sometimes it's a solo show like

this, where I pick a topic that I

74

think all of my students could use

some insight on, but other times I

75

interviewed the best of the best data

experts in the entire world, people

76

like Zach Wilson, Alex, the analyst.

77

Stat Quest or Cole Afflic,

just to name a few.

78

Either way, no matter what, every

Tuesday you'll be learning something

79

valuable in each episode and something

that you can actually act on.

80

I hate when educators and teachers just

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

81

tangible application and execution theory

is great, but only two justify the means.

82

These episodes have one goal and one

goal alone help you in your data career.

83

Number three, I'm going to be

sharing free educational content.

84

Every day, every day, you'll find me

typing up a LinkedIn post for the 130,

85

000 of you that follow me over there.

86

That's not going to stop anytime soon.

87

So make sure you go find

me on LinkedIn right now.

88

Hit the follow button and the bell

icon so you don't miss anything.

89

Once again, I try to post applicable

things that you can actually do today

90

to land a data job more quickly.

91

No fluff, no crap, just helpful things.

92

Also be posting more on my Instagram this

year, which I'm really excited about.

93

A lot of it will be behind the

scenes stuff and stuff that

94

maybe I don't post on LinkedIn.

95

Also, if you are watching on YouTube,

I post a lot on the YouTube community

96

page, and I encourage all of you

guys to go take a look at that and to

97

leave a comment there as well, because

I'm trying to personally respond to

98

every single comment I get on my.

99

YouTube community page.

100

And lastly, I do have a Tik Tok, but

at the time of recording, it's not

101

really clear whether that's staying

or going inside the United States.

102

It's kind of up in the air.

103

So if Tik Tok still

around, go follow me there.

104

But if not, don't worry, whatever

social media platform you use, you'll

105

find it in the description down

below and you can go follow me there.

106

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

107

Okay.

108

Next number four.

109

I'm doubling down on my weekly newsletter.

110

Every Wednesday, I send out

the data career newsletter.

111

This is where I highlight the

most important lesson of the week.

112

I do giveaways, I provide the

data job of the week, and I

113

share other helpful musings.

114

It's usually pretty short and simple.

115

It takes way less than

five minutes to read.

116

And honestly, I think everything

that I'm teaching in there, I'm

117

giving in there will save you

hours of time in your data journey.

118

So if you aren't subscribed, go join the

15, 000 other aspiring data professionals.

119

And subscribe, it's a

hundred percent free.

120

And lastly, number five, I'll continue

running the accelerator program.

121

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

but honestly, it's quite a bit more

122

affordable than most other bootcamps.

123

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

124

It's called the data analytics

accelerator, and it's literally

125

helped hundreds of people

land their first data job.

126

It's a 12 week program

designed around my SPN method.

127

That actually helps you land a data job.

128

Of course, we teach the skills,

but we also help you build projects

129

and help grow your network.

130

We teach you Excel, Tableau, SQL,

Python, R, and Power BI by helping

131

you do real projects with sales,

healthcare, education, sports,

132

manufacturing, financial, and HR data.

133

All real data sets from the wild.

134

We help you with your LinkedIn and

your resume as well as job hunting.

135

Plus we have live office hours every

single week and a community that

136

you can literally post in 24 seven.

137

This has been the vehicle that has driven

many to landing their first day at a job

138

and that will stay true this year as well.

139

So if you've been subscribed to my channel

for a while, you've probably seen just a

140

fraction of our awesome success stories

like Trevor Maxwell going from a printer

141

technician with no college degree to

business analyst, or Alex Sanchez going

142

from a high school teacher to data analyst

at seven 11, or maybe Aaron Sheena,

143

who was a music therapist and now is a

financial analyst at a fortune 50 company.

144

This program gets proven results and

145

If you're interested in learning

more, be sure to check out

146

the show notes down below.

147

Now, of course, with all this being

said, if I help you land a data job at

148

any point this year, please let me know.

149

You can just send me an email

averyatdatacareerjumpster.

150

com and let me know.

151

And as your prize, I will

highlight you on your own personal

152

billboard in Times Square.

153

I promise there's not

gonna be other people.

154

It's just you.

155

And literally Times Square.

156

There's no catches about this.

157

I'll pay for the whole thing.

158

But before any of that, I

actually need your help.

159

If I'm going to pull this whole

thing off this mission 52, I'm not

160

going to be able to do it alone.

161

I'm going to need your

help to get the word out.

162

Hitting subscribe, leaving a comment

or resharing any of my content

163

is a really simple and easy way.

164

That you can help mission 52, it

literally costs you nothing and

165

it takes you less than 30 seconds.

166

So thank you already for

helping out this mission.

167

And I want to make sure I stay

accountable to literally the thousands

168

of you who are listening right now.

169

So I'll be documenting this entire

mission, this entire journey in public.

170

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

171

I'm very scared about that, but

I want to share the reality that

172

you can land a data job this year.

173

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

174

And so you can watch the

progress of these 52 individuals.

175

In three different places.

176

Number one, I'll have a website

dedicated to Mission 52.

177

It's going to be datacrewjumpstart.

178

com slash mission, and I'll

update that periodically.

179

Number two, I'll talk about

the progress periodically in my

180

newsletter, about once a month.

181

So you can stay tuned to the

newsletter to get the updates there.

182

And number three, I'll be sharing the

highlights of this Mission 52 on my

183

Instagram story so you can follow there.

184

So please follow this mission

and share with your friends.

185

We can do this, I think.
