Data Analyst Resume Example (2026)

A complete data analyst resume example. The hard part of an analytics resume is showing that the analysis changed something — this one names the decision behind each project. Open it in the editor, swap in your own numbers, and export a PDF.

Why this data analyst resume works

• Each bullet names the decision the analysis drove, not just the tool used
• SQL, Python and the BI tool appear in the skills line and again in context
• Numbers are business numbers — retention, cost, hours saved — not row counts
• Certifications sit near the bottom where recruiters expect them
• Plain section headings ("Experience", "Education") that every ATS recognises
