Hej hej!
I moved to Stockholm 7 months ago, have a master's degree in geotechnical engineering and have a work experience as a junior data analyst for 2 years, I am on a sambo visa and look for data scientist/analyst positions (internship/junior positions). All I get is AI generated rejection emails! I assume having a network in finding a job is all that matters in Sweden! and I dont have that! I applied for the data analyst program at Hyper Island and got accepted, I dont know if this would help me or not (adding a Swedish education background to my resume, networking at HI). Any suggestion regarding polishing my strategy towards getting a job or where to get at least a praktik role is highly appreciated.

jqm1x3pI assume it's more about you not having proper knowledge/education to get a job as a data analyst/scientist. You say you have a Master's in geotechnical engineering, that's not very relevant for working with data analysis.
How are your knowledge in Python? T-SQL? PowerShell?
Do you have any knowledge in GIT, Azure, DevOps?
If you have this knowledge, is it presented accordingly in your CV? Do you have a portfolio showing some projects you've done so that you can present it to a potential employer?

jqmegkaI learned programming by myself, I can do data cleaning with python (numpy, pandas), data visualization with py (matplotlib, seaborn). I am also good at PBI. I used gitlab in my previous job. I took online corses on SQL and I am comfortable working with it. I look for internship (praktik) or junior positions.
I understand what you mean and that is what I try to do know to build a github page and present my projects there, but I am not allowed to use the projects we did in my previous job so I would work on some kaggle competitions and maybe post them on github.
Thanks for your suggestions and reply

jqmz1vuAtt kunna pandas och numpy kommer du inte långt med, ej heller visualiseringar så som matplotlib och seaborn det är som att kunna skilja på basalt och granit. Vill du in i industrin så bör du lära dig Spark (+ Hadoop; Hive, HDFS eller motsvarande), molntjänster; Azure är rätt stort men AWS används av många.
Vill du arbeta med PBI så se till att lära dig M/DAX och en del databaser, motsvarande kunskap som finns här; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/dp-203/ bör räcka för en juniortjänst. Men det viktigaste är nog att ha bra koll på någon av molntjänsterna. Programmeringsspråket är ganska ofta sekundärt.
Prova bygg en datapipeline i Azure som projekt, det kommer du nog långt på. Vad arbetade du med som dataanalytiker tidigare?

jqn4j7oYou are right and I have a long way ahead of me, I know there is so much to learn but even a job like this
https://www.monster.se/jobb/sok?q=Data+analyst&where=Stockholm%2C+SE&page=1&so=m.p.l
would be a good starting point for me. 7 months and not even a job like this is really making me feel depressed.

jqn3283thank you for the detailed information that you provided. My experience is not that deep and much that is why I look for internship or junior positions.
One of the projects I worked on was to predict stocks price using pycarrot library. We scraped stock data, cleaned it, normalized it, and then applied pycarrot on it to predict which ones are better options to buy for a specific range of time. Others were mostly data cleaning and creating reports from the data.
