Francisco's Career Plan
My first career choice is to become a Data Scientist for a fortune 500 company. At this point in my life, I'm in a good starting position with my current employer. My experience with data and big data tools will help me prepare for a better opportunity down the road.
My skills are a great fit for the career I’m aiming for. I have great people skills, analytical background, and I’m aligning my education for the right role in the future. I’m a very competitive team player with my current employer and I love to be a part of an effective team that influences decision-making with my skill set. I love to slice and dice data to tell stories and I believe that becoming a data scientist would be a dream job!
As a full-time employee working for Charter Communications, I have an advantage in terms of exploring different departments of the business. I get to participate in multiple projects that involve many departments with a diverse workforce. This gives me the opportunity to network with many folks with different backgrounds and education levels. In some cases, I’ve been able to shadow some of the roles and as a result, I have learned about potential jobs. I plan on continuing to network with my colleagues and also being more active in LinkedIn.
