What is analytics? Analytics = Scientific Analysis.
Most of the research I do is general and not specific to certain markets or niche fields so I turned to my super nerd of analytics correspondent for his input.
With the economy being so volatile, especially for those in data-oriented fields (scientists, engineers, other geeks that do math or applied math) it is important to keep these things in mind (some may be obvious).
1) We all know you're a nerd and don't expect you to be friendly but DO build and maintain a strong network of contacts in your field.
Social network for Analytics professionals: AnalyticBridge.com
2) It is also crucial for you to keep up with the pace of changes and stay on the cutting edge of what's new.
Don't know how to? Well maybe the people you meet in your network can let you know. Work on your social skills, and yes this means you should brush your teeth and take a shower regularly, which means every day.
Don't have friends? Here are some links to do the research online for you homebodies out there:
