datacareerblueprint.com || Hi I'm Kedeisha, a data scientist and career strategist who went from delivering pizzas to leading a 55,000-strong data community. 

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of professionals land job offers at top companies like Microsoft, phData, and the University of Texas at Austin—and many of them have climbed to senior roles in under three years.

As the author of Cracking the Data Engineer Interview, I’ve seen firsthand how the right strategies can transform your career. 

My mission? To share everything I’ve learned about breaking into and thriving in the data world, from mastering your skills to acing interviews and advancing your career.

I offer a tailored coaching program for aspiring data analysts that provides:

✅ Master SQL, Excel, Tableau, Python, and more in high-demand courses.

✅ Elevate your brand with LinkedIn and personal brand coaching.

✅ Create a standout portfolio with real-world projects.

✅ Interview preparation.

✅ Develop your confidence and leadership skills 

Ready to land your dream job in data?

Online bootcamp and interview preparation program to kickstart a person's data career in 5 months without going back to school

Job descriptions often list every skill imaginable and many times, the company doesn’t even know what they truly need.

Here’s the reality:

You don’t need to master Python, SQL, Tableau, ETL, AI, ML, and every other tool mentioned.

Most candidates get hired because they can:
- Pull data with SQL
- Build a clear, effective dashboard
- Communicate insights in a way that makes sense

That’s it.

Don’t let job postings convince you that you’re not ready.

Focus on demonstrating that you can solve real business problems. 

That’s what actually leads to an offer.

👇🏽 What’s the most unrealistic job requirement you’ve ever seen?

You keep applying to data analyst roles… and hearing crickets.

There’s a reason for that.

Today, I’m breaking down exactly what you need to do before you hit “apply” so you stop blending in with every other candidate and finally start getting interviews.

Most people are making the same mistakes over and over again.

And wondering why nothing changes.

Watch this and fix it.

Your future hiring manager will thank you.

Stop using LinkedIn Easy Apply if you actually want to get hired as a Data Analyst.

Here's the truth nobody's telling you:
Easy Apply is where resumes go to die.

You're competing with 500+ other applicants who clicked the same button in 3 seconds. Zero differentiation. Zero context. Zero chance.

Meanwhile, the analysts who ARE getting hired? They're not playing the volume game.

They're building proof.

Real projects. Real skills. Real experience that makes recruiters stop scrolling.

So if you're done disappearing into the Easy Apply black hole and ready to actually stand out…

Comment "READY" and I'll send you my exact framework on how to get hired as a Data Analyst.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to change, what to highlight, and what to delete.

Live Data Analyst Resume Review with REAL Tech Recruiters

The degrees is no longer the golden ticket.

They cost more than ever, pay off less than ever, and 63% of Americans now say they aren't worth the price. 

The biggest reason? 

Graduates still lack the specific, job-ready skills needed to succeed. The Real Game: It’s not about the diploma. It’s about the direct, applicable skills and solving problems.

Are you seeing this shift too? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
