Power BI Resume Sample

Monster breaks down how to create an attention-grabbing Power BI resume.

By Dillon Price, Monster Contributor

There are tons of career opportunities for power business intelligence (Power BI) developers and data analysts. But getting your power BI resume noticed by potential employers can be a competitive process. Luckily, you don’t have to be a resume specialist to get the attention of hiring managers.

To get started, simply approach your resume the same way you would approach a BI report—outline all the key details and make it as simple for employers to follow as a chart or graph. As a Power BI developer, employers will be looking to see if you have all the technical skills they’re looking for. So, add a list of your core strengths under your professional summary—this could include SSRS, SQL coding, or database querying—and then add a technical skills section to the end of your resume that breaks your skills down into categories, like software, BI tools/reporting, and languages.

Now that you know what employers look for in a power BI resume, use Monster’s sample below to learn how to write and format your first draft.
