## Caption

7 certificates. 0 interview calls. And you were about to start the 8th one before placement season. Stop. 🛑

The 2026 hiring truth: 68% of data roles now screen for demonstrated skills before certificates. A certificate proves you watched a course. A project proves you can do the work. Recruiters hiring data analysts and freshers are checking GitHub links, not course completion badges.

Run every line of your resume through the 3-second relevance test in today’s video — and delete one line that isn’t earning its place. Full decision tree + Cut List in the free PDF.

📌 HOMEWORK: Delete ONE irrelevant certificate or line today. It’ll hurt. Do it.
💬 Comment your fav emoji — the Relevance Test PDF in your DMs
📤 Share with the friend collecting certificates like Pokémon cards
💾 Save for your next resume edit

Follow @aartii.py — tomorrow: the REAL job of a data analyst (no course tells you this).
