“The CV rebuild and interview preparation made a big difference — I felt much more confident going into interviews and how I approached applications.”
1
Background
Hal graduated from the University of Bath with a degree in Natural Sciences and a strong interest in data, coding, and problem solving. While he had solid academic knowledge and a successful placement year in a computational science role, he found it difficult to translate this experience into job opportunities in data analytics.
He joined the programme in June 2025 looking for support to become job-ready for entry-level data roles.
2
The Challenge
Despite strong technical ability, Hal was struggling to:
- Secure consistent interview opportunities
- Present his experience in a way that matched industry expectations
- Navigate the job market with a clear direction
3
The Solution
Hal first completed structured training in Python, SQL, Power BI, and machine learning, and passed all certifications on his first attempt.
He also completed practical data projects during his training to strengthen applied skills and portfolio experience.
Following completion of his training, we then moved into the recruitment support phase, which included:
- A full CV rebuild focused on data analytics roles
- Structured job search guidance to target the right opportunities
- Elevator pitch development to improve how he communicated his experience
- Interview preparation to build confidence and clarity when discussing technical work
4
The Results
- Within 7 months of starting the programme, Hal secured a role as a Customer Insight Analyst at Ocado Retail, starting in January 2026.
- He successfully transitioned into a data-focused role where he now applies his technical and analytical skills in a commercial environment.
