ADVISORY NOTES — Ziffi-Tech · May 2025
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
STRENGTHS IDENTIFIED (non-standard for Year 2 students):
· 5+ years professional data experience before university
· CRM operations at enterprise scale (Alorica, 3 years)
· Data quality management with real accountability (Vertex Digital)
· Relocated internationally to pursue education — rare commitment signal
· Full-stack capability spanning Python, Java, JS, TS, React
DIFFERENTIATION STATEMENT:
Most Year 2 students have zero real work experience.
This candidate has 5+ years of professional data operations,
business analyst adjacent work, and CRM systems mastery —
all before their BSc began. That is not a small thing.
PLACEMENT TARGETS (recommended):
· Business Analyst Intern / Placement — STRONG FIT
· Data Analyst Intern / Placement — STRONG FIT
· Quant Research Intern — GOOD FIT
· Junior Developer Intern — GOOD FIT
ACTION ITEMS:
[1] Optimise LinkedIn profile with the approved content above
[2] Deploy one project with a live public URL
[3] Apply to placement schemes — ASAP (many close by March/April)
[4] Build one data analysis project with real dataset + visualisations
[5] Write one technical post on GitHub or Medium
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVISOR VERDICT: This candidate is ready. The market just needs to know.
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
"I did not come to university to learn how to code.
I came to add a degree to five years of real-world experience.
To combine the analytical instincts I built in business
with the technical systems I am building in academia.
Most students graduate with a certificate.
I am building something recruiters cannot ignore:
Experience. Evidence. Execution.
Early. Dangerous. Still ascending."
