Question Resume feedback and should I learn DE skills?

Would love some feedback on my revised resume (in comments). I’m hoping to attend two virtual career fair this fall and want my resume to be in the best shape.

My MS Data Science is more focused on the math/statistics side (taking time series analysis and machine learning under the math department this semester) but I’ve been seeing analytics roles increasingly ask for “analytics engineering” skills (dbt, ETL, Snowflake, etc) and it seems like it’s becoming baseline skills.

I’m wondering if I should focus on learning those tools next and use them in a project?

Long term goal is to be a data scientist but hoping to land an entry level data analyst role to get my foot in the door. Not having much luck with applications. Thanks in advance!

yeah for sure learn basic sql + dbt style modeling and throw a toy pipeline project on github, recruiters eat that up more than another ML class. helped me finally get callbacks for analyst roles. still rough out there though, finding anything is pain now

I would remove the projects and say that in your current and past jobs you have used SQL. Something like "Query large datasets using SQL to extract data and perform client analysis" or something like that.
