1. 🚩 Dashboards aren’t supposed to look like Christmas trees 🎄

Have you ever open a dashboard and just sit there like,
“Wait… what am I even looking at?”

Charts everywhere.
Colors shouting at you.
3 minutes in, and still no clue what’s important.

Happy New Month! 🎉 #MondayMotivation

H1 is almost done. Whatever didn't go as planned — reflect, adjust, and keep moving.

The best part of your year could still be coming. Go get it 💪

Had great conversations with the engineers building these platforms, hearing what they’re working on and what’s coming next.

🚩 Yesterday reminded me why I enjoy being in the tech space.

📍 I attended the Amazon Web Services (AWS) London Summit and it was a great one.

Met teams from Postman, GitLab, Datadog, Databricks and a few others.

Biggest interview red flag → faking knowledge.

Wrong answers kill credibility.

Better:
→ “I’m not sure, but here’s how I’d approach it.”

→ “I haven’t used X, but I’ve worked with Y (similar tool).”

Honesty + problem-solving > pretending.

@dataliving Such an interesting and interactive session 👏

📍 Recruiters don’t care that you used SQL.
They care what happened when you used it.

📍 One CV can scream “generic.”
Another can say “I’m the one.”

🚩 Your CV won’t land you the DATA job unless you do this.

1. Job description:

→ Circle the tools, skills, keywords.

→ If they want Python, SQL, dashboards, don’t hide it on page 2.

🧵Thread

4. Show results, not responsibilities:

→ Wrong: “Responsible for analyzing data.”

→ Right: “Built SQL queries that uncovered churn patterns → 15% retention boost.”

3. 📍 Your dashboard isn’t for you.
It’s for the person who needs to act on it.

→ If it looks like a Christmas tree, you built it for yourself.

→If it looks like a compass, you built it for the business.

📌Drop one dashboard tip or advice so others can learn

2. 📍 Dashboards aren’t built to impress.
They’re built to guide decisions.

→ More visuals ≠ more value
→ One clear story > ten half-stories
→ If people feel lost, the dashboard failed
