Overview
This repository showcases my work from the Accenture Data Analytics and Visualization Job Simulation, completed in September 2024. The simulation involved working as a Data Analyst for a hypothetical social media client. I cleaned, modeled, and analyzed 7 datasets to uncover content trends, which helped inform strategic business decisions. My work included preparing a PowerPoint deck and a video presentation to communicate key insights to both the client and internal stakeholders.

How This Experience Prepares Me for a Role at Accenture
Participating in this job simulation gave me hands-on experience with data analytics and visualization in a realistic context. I enjoyed cleaning, modeling, and analyzing data, as well as presenting insights in a meaningful way. This experience made me even more excited to contribute to a dynamic team at Accenture, where I can apply these skills to real-world projects.
Tasks I Completed:
Task 1 This was an MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) task, and it was quite easy to solve.
Task 2 There were CSV files that needed to be cleaned using either Excel or SQL, depending on which tool was easier to use. I chose SQL because, in the end, we needed to concatenate all the tables into one, and it was simpler for me to do that with SQL. However, Excel could also be used for this task.
Task 3 The third task was to create a PowerPoint presentation based on the analysis.
Task 4 In this task, we had to present the PowerPoint presentation we created in Task 3 by making our video explaining the content of the presentation.
