Every recruiter, human resources wonk and business owner frantically looking to hire web data analysts should immediately go and read Avinash’s latest post “Top Ten: Signs You Are A Great Analyst” His compliment of my work aside, Avi hits the nail on the head hard when describing the real work that the best web data analysts do day-in and day-out. With little extra work, this blog post could easily be converted into a requirements document for any analyst posting and a checklist for experiences that you want any hire you consider to have.
Brilliant as usual, Avinash!
Plus, at this point Avi is getting some great feedback and comments, essentially taking the conversation off the board and into his weblog. I just subscribed to Avi’s comment feed — check it out at http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/comments/feed/
