Landing a role in data isn’t just about your resume or how you perform in an interview, it’s about signaling that you’d be a great fit throughout the process.

This session with Albert Bellamy will share the view from the employer’s perspective: what makes someone stand out on paper, what qualities predict success in the first six months, and how teams weigh technical skills against communication, business sense, and collaboration.

What You’ll Learn:

• The “hireable signals” that matter most — curiosity, clarity, adaptability, and how they show up in projects and conversations.

• How employers assess impact vs. output — why shipping 10 dashboards isn’t the same as solving one business problem.

• The balance of technical vs. business skills — what tools are table stakes, what can be trained on the job, and what’s non-negotiable.

• Cultural and collaboration fit — how employers evaluate teamwork, autonomy, and communication.

• How hiring managers de-risk a candidate — proxies they use when you don’t have prior industry experience.
