Not the most gripping read of the year but definitely helpful. I was laid off from my job a little while ago, and my new career path(from English teacher to Document Review specialist) is to try and make it as a data analyst. Im already familiar with Excel from my previous jobs and would rate my experience level as intermediate. I want to get better so thus begins a long series of 'for dummies' books for excel and other topics(SQL,Tableau, BI, etc). Im pairing these with online courses and workbooks. As a teacher i know that the best way to learn something is to actively do it.
I remember Warren Buffett saying once that the 'secret' to his success is he reads 500 pages or 5 hours a day, everyday. "All of you can do it, but not all of you will." While im not generally in the habit of giving credence to anything capitalists say, this idea of his intrigued me. What happens if i actually do this? Reading for improving my career options of course, but also reading just for the pure love of reading. I should probably start a blog, excuse me, substack. Lol.
The for dummies books are a great resource. They serve well as intros to materials and generally have an accessibility that most instruction manuals don't. I wouldn'0t be surprised if the publishing house that produces these have educators on staff to help with the presentation of materials.
Reading in the hopes that life gets better. Here goes.
Had some useful stuff in it, and definitely was "for dummies", but I thought it wasn't as fleshed out as it could've been. The first 200 pages were far better than the last 200, and I think it was relatively light on actual formulas and useful data analysis items.
