The polished, finished product impressed the hiring manager so much, he was willing to fast-track an offer.”_ -Jennifer Cooper, VP Strategic Analytics ## Jennifer has started her new role Jennifer Cooper has started her new role as a **VP of Strategic Analytics at a major bank.** During the interview process, Jennifer found herself in a multiple offer situation before selecting the best offer for her! Congrats Jennifer, we LOVE hearing that! One of the offers was due to her highly polished RMarkdown she created as a take-home exam. Although the fast-tracked offer was not the job she ultimately took, a multiple offer scenario is the leverage we all dream of! ## Jennifer Had Been Trying to Learn Programming Through Other Courses First > _“Matt’s teaching style, combined with his project-based approach to solving real-world business problems and his genuine interest in his students’ success **make his courses a game-changer!**“_ _“Before discovering Business Science University, I knew I wanted to take R but had already committed to learning Python and signed up for several courses. **So I waited, thinking it would be too much to try to learn R at the same time or - worse - that I had to pick one programming language and stick to it**._ _**Boy was I wrong. Talk about a 'Wow, I could have had a V8 moment'!** Looking back, if I knew then what I know now, I would have taken R first!! Not just any R course, though – Matt Dancho’s Business Science R course(s).**_ _Matt’s teaching style, combined with his project-based approach to solving real-world business problems and his genuine interest in his students’ success **make his courses a game-changer!**_ _I’ve had some good instructors on different learning platforms, but **none have taken the personal interest that Matt has** to make sure I get the help and encouragement I need to ensure I can apply the knowledge I’m gaining like him._ _For example, when I was concerned about taking R so soon after Python, **Matt took the time to get to know me and my career path, providing an in-depth assessment / insights** into how I could use R to address financial use cases more efficiently, even sharing his own, similar story. It was eye-opening!”_ ## What Did Jennifer Learn Through Business Science? > _“Thanks to Matt and what I’ve learned so far, **I was able do an in-depth analysis**. The polished, finished product impressed the hiring manager so much, **he was willing to fast-track an offer.**“_ _“Since then, I’ve taken [“DS4B 101-R”](https://university.business-science.io/p/ds4b-101-r-business-analysis-r) and am currently taking [“DS4B 201-R”](https://university.business-science.io/p/hr201-using-machine-learning-h2o-lime-to-predict-employee-turnover). I’m not going to lie, it has been challenging, particularly with a full-time job, but it has been worth every penny and hour I’ve spent! Recently, I decided I wanted to pursue new job opportunities, that would allow me to continue to grow my analytical skills and allow me to put what I’m learning into practice, and I was asked to do a take home-test in R._ _**Thanks to Matt and what I’ve learned so far, I was able do an in-depth analysis** of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) data, following his Business Science Problem Framework and complete the project using RMarkdown._ _**The polished, finished product impressed the hiring manager so much, he was willing to fast-track an offer.** In fact, as luck would have it, I ended up in a multiple-offer situation and have recently started a VP-level analytics role with a major bank._ _Matt’s courses have given me the self-confidence and inspiration to take my natural curiosity anywhere I want to go. I feel so blessed that I met him at DataScienceGo in 2018! **His support and what he’s taught me have had a major impact on my life! I really look forward to continuing to take other courses in his program!**“_ ## Learn to Apply Data Science to Business The secret to landing a job in data science - **SHOW THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE BUSINESS VALUE!!!** This is what I teach - **Business-First (Problem Solving)** using Data Science.
