Stop Building Projects Recruiters Ignore. Start Building Projects That Get You Taken Seriously.
You've completed courses.
You've watched tutorials.
You've built dashboards.
Maybe you've even created a few portfolio projects.
But interviews still aren't coming.
And honestly?
That's frustrating.
Because deep down, you know you're capable of becoming a data analyst.
So why does it still feel like hiring managers are overlooking you?
The truth is...
Your problem probably isn't your technical skills.
And it may not be another certification.
It's that your projects aren't showing employers what they need to see.
Because getting hired in analytics isn't about building random dashboards.
It's about proving you can solve business problems.
If that sounds like what's been missing...

The Project Fix Journal
The step-by-step project positioning system that helps aspiring data analysts stop building generic portfolio projects and start creating projects that demonstrate real business value.
Inside, I'll show you how to:
✔ Choose projects that align with actual analyst roles
✔ Turn everyday business problems into portfolio projects
✔ Build projects that showcase analytical thinking
✔ Present your work like a business case study
✔ Connect your projects to real business outcomes
✔ Avoid the common project mistakes that make candidates blend in
✔ Talk about your projects confidently in interviews
Because projects shouldn't just prove you know tools.
They should prove you can think like an analyst.
Let's be honest...
You didn't spend months learning Excel, SQL, Power BI, Python, or analytics just to build projects nobody notices.
You didn't pivot careers just to create dashboards that look exactly like everyone else's.
But right now:
❌ Your projects feel generic
❌ You're building the same projects everyone else is building
❌ You don't know which projects hiring managers actually care about
❌ You struggle to explain the business value behind your work
❌ Your portfolio isn't helping you stand out
❌ You're unsure whether your projects are helping or hurting your chances
And over time, that starts affecting your confidence.
You begin wondering:
"Maybe my projects aren't good enough."
"Maybe I need more certifications."
"Maybe I need more technical skills."
But here's what I need you to understand:
Most aspiring analysts are not struggling because they lack skills.
They're struggling because their projects don't demonstrate business value.
Recruiters do not hire dashboards.
They hire evidence.
Evidence that says:
✔ This person can solve problems
✔ This person can think analytically
✔ This person understands business needs
✔ This person can communicate insights clearly
✔ This person looks capable of doing the job
That's exactly what The Project Fix Journal helps you build.
Imagine Your Career Starting to Feel Like This...
✨ Feeling confident discussing your projects
✨ Having projects that stand out from other applicants
✨ Knowing exactly why you built each project
✨ Demonstrating analytical thinking more clearly
✨ Showing recruiters proof of your abilities
✨ Walking into interviews prepared to explain your work
✨ Finally feeling like your projects are helping your pivot
Not because you magically became more technical overnight.
But because your projects finally demonstrate your value.
What Makes This Different?
Most project advice focuses on dashboards.
But dashboards alone don't get people hired.
You can build beautiful visualizations and still struggle to stand out.
You can complete tutorials and still look inexperienced.
You can follow YouTube projects and still blend into the crowd.
Because companies hire people who understand business problems.
That's the difference.
Inside The Project Fix Journal, I'll show you how to:
✔ Choose strategic project topics
✔ Identify business problems worth solving
✔ Structure projects professionally
✔ Present insights effectively
✔ Build recruiter confidence
✔ Create projects that support your career goals
This isn't theory.
It's practical guidance based on how hiring managers evaluate candidates.
Why The Journal Format Works Better
Most project courses teach you how to build dashboards.
But they rarely teach you how to think through project selection, positioning, storytelling, and business impact.
That's why this system was designed as a practical implementation journal.
Instead of simply consuming information, you'll actively work through guided frameworks, prompts, templates, and exercises that help you build stronger projects.
Which means you can:
✔ Reuse the framework for future projects
✔ Build industry-specific projects
✔ Create more strategic portfolios
✔ Improve how you communicate your work
✔ Use the process throughout your analytics career
Because the goal isn't just building one project.
The goal is learning how to create valuable projects repeatedly.

Why Listen To Me?
Hi, I'm Funke 👋
And before I successfully pivoted into analytics, I was exactly where many aspiring analysts are right now.
I came from a sales and customer service background.
When I moved to Canada, I knew I wanted to transition into analytics, but like many aspiring analysts, I quickly found myself building projects that looked impressive technically but weren't helping me stand out.
I was doing what everyone else was doing.
Following tutorials.
Building common dashboards.
Adding projects to my portfolio.
But I eventually realized something important.
The people getting interviews weren't necessarily building more projects.
They were building better-positioned projects.
Projects connected to business problems.
Projects that demonstrated analytical thinking.
Projects that gave recruiters confidence.
Once I understood that, everything changed.
I stopped focusing on building more projects and started focusing on building projects that actually communicated value.
And that's exactly why I created the Project Fix Journal.
Because I don't want aspiring analysts spending years building projects that fail to move their careers forward.
I want to help you:
✨ Build projects strategically
✨ Demonstrate business value
✨ Stand out from other applicants
✨ Communicate your work confidently
✨ Position yourself more effectively for interviews
Everything inside this journal comes from real pivot experience, real hiring observations, real trial and error, and real lessons learned while navigating this transition myself.
I've lived it.
I've made the mistakes.
I've learned the lessons.
And now I've turned those lessons into a practical system designed to help aspiring analysts build projects that recruiters actually pay attention to.
The Truth Most People Won't Tell You
The analytics field is crowded with people building dashboards.
But companies are still looking for people who can:
✔ Solve problems
✔ Think critically
✔ Understand business needs
✔ Communicate insights
✔ Demonstrate initiative
That's your opportunity.
And your projects are one of the best ways to prove it.
Your Next Interview Could Start With The Project You Build Today.
You do not need a perfect portfolio.
But you do need projects that demonstrate value.
The Project Fix Journal™ helps you bridge that gap.
So instead of wondering:
"Are my projects good enough?"
You start building projects that help recruiters take you seriously.
