I earned my Master's in Education Policy about a year ago. Since then I have been applying for internships and full time positions while continuing to teach full time.
Often, when I look at job descriptions, many list needing to have data analyst experience using programming languages like R or Python, experience conducting quantitative and qualitative research and writing policy briefs .
I have no experience with data analysis (at least not formally, I am a math teacher), no experience conducting research and was given a very short intro to analyzing quan and qual data in one of my courses, and like one or two assignments writing policy briefs. So if I am not getting internships, how I am supposed to get experience?
I have been trying to learn Python through Coursera (free with my university email but not my preferred platform to learn) and will be shelling out more money to learn R and apply it to policy this summer with University of Chicago.
I am starting to feel discouraged as I have been rejected for summer internships (can only do summer without quitting my full time job again) and full time positions. I had one meeting with a career advisor to go over my resume and cover letter writing in January.
