In this course, my biggest takeaway is that everyone wants to use data effectively but no one knows how.. That being said, the most tangible aspect of this course was using the ER Modeling and SQL programs. I was hoping to use more of these.

The most important takeaway that I had from the presentation last week which I think is counterintuitive in other exercises is to know what answer you are looking for before you decide which data you need. Often I see more benefit in the exploration of data but when it comes to visualization this seems more appropriate.

If I were in charge of Data.gov, I would hold events akin to Hack-a-thons, where the open source data could be used and analyzed to solve real governmental issues. This would both solve issues and raise awareness of the valuable resource at the same time.

Q1: There are several additional screenings that people are including with applicant profiles. In my previous profession, the job required a lot of cold calling and personal interviews. In this case, a Myers-Briggs assessment would be helpful as a key indicator of success might be whether a person is an introvert or extrovert.

In my previous job in refugee resettlement, a key performance indicator was the number of job placements per month. This was SMART to the extent it was specific, measurable, relevant and timely. However, it was not always achievable. We never met our goals of 45 jobs per month for a variety of reasons including the fact that often we did not have…[Read more]

Although the content is silly, this infographic does a good job of coding the cats with appropriate colors. Also it is interactive and contains only the pertinent information in the main form. As a result, even know it contains a lot of information, it is not overwhelming.

In a past job, we were working to combine our databases on Refugee Resettlement Inflows in Chicago. We had one database of job places and the other with refugee demographics. We wanted to figure out if there were any correlations between country origin and job placement. Therefore, we had to combine the two databases.

Jenn,
I completely agree. If a company employs outside consultants to create a project, it is extremely important that the outside firms uses the same language as the company.
