A day in the life of a Data analyst in China

How I found out about the job

The vacancy information in university forum

The recruitment process

After completion of my masters course in 2005, I returned to Shanghai and looked for jobs using online job boards and the university forum. I applied for my current role by sending out my resume and cover letter, then I was invited to a face-to-face interview, followed by a written translation test.

My career history

I have been working in China Economic Information Network since I graduated in 2005.

My advice to students considering work

If students and graduates do not have any work experience, they should proactively participate in extra-curricular activities to develop and showcase their talents. Moreover, they should have an in-depth knowledge about their academic course, as this can be useful for their future career.

What I do

Working as a data analyst, I am responsible for analysing and editing the data, researching and developing new information products, as well as providing sales support.

Skills I use and how I developed them



Degree skills:
My masters course in economics equipped me with the professional knowledge of quantitative analysis, which is very useful and helps me analyse the data at my current position.

What I like most

I enjoy the satisfaction of successful development and launching of new information products with my colleagues, which were used and appreciated by our clients.

What I like least

Sometimes the working hours are quite long.
