Key Training Tutorials Needed for Market Research Analysts

Career professionals vying for Data/Market Research Analyst positions should have data entry, spreadsheet creation, and database maintenance skills before going in for a job interview because most businesses feeling the financial strain due to the effects of a tumultuous economy, probably will not hire a new hire with limited skills set. They need new hires to be able to contribute immediately to the company, especially during economic hardship.

Entry level and junior data/market research professionals should refresh their knowledge or learn these three essential software programs for their field either through courses or online training tutorials before applying.

Microsoft Access: Designed specifically to simplify and control complex data tasks, research analysts can create and update database information through Access. Access help users effectively track, report, and share information in a manageable environment. With a pre-built library tracking application of database solutions with Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, researchers does not need deep database or programming skills.

Microsoft Excel: Another useful application is the Excel software, a powerful tool that helps create spreadsheets and formulas, practice data entry, format data, communicate and manage information etc. Excel simplifies creating professional-looking reports and charts.

Business Word Processing: Research, information gathering, light administrative task is also a big part of a data analyst’s job description. That means researchers should also know how to email, merge emails, design newsletters, edit/proofread professional documents, and reports. To learn or brush up on these skills, there are online video tutorials on Business Word Processing that touches on all of the tasks listed above.
