Create your CV in Power BI

Last week I landed a new job in a company in the forefront in Fabric (and Tabular Editor) in the Nordics. I think creating a CV in Power BI helped. Maybe you can find some inspiration from the one I created. Link to CV.

Recently also How to Power BI released some ideas on this topic:

Background:

Coming from the Power BI/ user side, I have previously found it hard to apply for jobs, getting the following reply "we had a candidate with more database competence". I was about to send a CV in pdf, when I went to the grocery store and listened to Explicit Measures Podcast (recommended), where they advised to create it in Power BI to show your skills. Two days later, the CV was sent in Power BI and a few hours later the first interview was booked.

Much more fun then creating a PDF. And no recruiters I talked to had seen this before and one said it was the most impressive he seen in 20 years (writing CVs is not my strength). They were all enthusiastic about it.

Also used some statistics from this site to show my interest in Fabric (a comment I read from

For improving it further, maybe I could add a hobby-project as well, such as getting data from Strava (to combine work and spare time interests).

Good luck if you are looking for new opportunities.
