I need help landing a new job. I have a Jira certification. I took this free course through Atlassian. But I never used it at work. I know most employers dont want to see skills you dont have direct experience in. Also a lot of companies want Tableau knowledge. I was thinking about taking a Linkedin learning course on it. But I wanted to say I can create dashboards in Tableau. I know how to create them in salesforce. Is that something I can pick up quickly? Should I lie and say I have work experience with Tableau and Jira on my resume. Or is it not worth it? I'm pretty good at picking things up and learning quickly. But i don't want to get ahead of myself.

I use Pluralsight. A one time yearly payment, for unlimited courses. They do have Jira as well.

JIRA very easy to learn what’s going to be challenge is setting up your team, their flow, and sprint planning. What’s your role breh?
Product Solution Analyst for the state. I'm looking for a new role on the east coast though. And I've been looking at product analyst and business analyst roles. And when I look at these job listings most of em want Jira or tableau experience. I took a free certification course for Jira but I've never used it at work. If I make up something on my resume saying i do have experience. I'm just not sure if i can pick it up fast enough.

Yes, when I was learning Tableau, I just followed along with projects on YouTube. Then did a few self- initiated projects. Had one where I analyzed my own streaming data. You can get a Udemy course when there’s a sale, but honestly everything you need is on YT. Also look into PowerBI, since that won’t require a license like Tableau

I worked with Tableau for a couple years.. shyt it’s real easy to learn once you know how to merge the data together using databases and sql queries..

So you’re an end user not a team owner or scrum master so you just need the basics. If that’s all breh, all you need is a four hour course and understand how to communicate during a stand and you’re good.

if youve used any basic project management software, then JIRA should be fairly straight forward

it only gets tricky really based on your teams work structure and flow

Anything you would recommend? Would a linkedin learning course help?

Have you used any of the other BI prducts n the market? I've done Qlikview/Sense for years, did a little powerbi and my current pace uses Tableau. Tableau is the most frustrating to me out of the 3. But I don't spend a lot of time touching tableau, so it may just be me.
