Analyst CVs fail when they read as a list of reports produced. A dashboard is not an outcome; the decision it changed is. The strongest bullets name the audience, the question and the result.
These data analyst resume templates put SQL and the BI platform where a keyword search reaches them, and leave the timeline for audience, question, action and measurable change.
8 layouts that fit how data analyst hiring actually reads a CV. Open a card to preview, or start in the builder — the same content reflows if you switch template later.

Layout, not adjectives
The right template for this field is the one that puts the evidence a data analyst screen checks first in a document a parser can still read. Style is secondary.
Match the market
What belongs on the page
Joins, window functions and CTEs are what interviewers test. "Advanced Excel" without specifics is one of the most common unverifiable claims in this field.
Power BI, Tableau, Looker — write the product name. "Dashboarding experience" will not match those searches.
Hours saved per week, manual steps eliminated, conflicting figures retired. Those are the numbers a manager is buying.
Who used the output, and what they did with it. Analysis that never left the team is harder to shortlist.
From template to file
Analyst hiring rarely rewards a designed CV. Start with Classic, Compact or Technical on this page.
Then spreadsheets, then scripting. Keep the list honest — interviewers test Excel claims.
Audience, question, action, result. If you cannot name those four, the bullet is probably a task.
Open the PDF or Word file and confirm dates, tools and numbers still read in sequence.
Questions
Only if you can defend it: pivot tables, Power Query, array formulas or VBA. Name the capability instead of the adjective.
SQL is still the non-negotiable. If the advert mentions Python, state the level honestly — "pandas for data preparation" is credible where "proficient in Python" is not.
Yes when the dashboards are public and each one answers a question. One or two Tableau Public or GitHub links beat a private screenshot dump.
Heritage Classic, Professional Slate or Finance Pro. They look like the rest of the pack in that market, which is the point.
Open a template, replace the sample history with your own, and export a PDF or Word file. No account.
