I'm a DE intern nearing the end of my internship, and I'm having trouble coming up with bullet points because of how repetitive they become. For context, I work at a financial company on the data warehousing team
I want to follow the XYZ pattern of "Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]." in order to show the impact that I'm having first, and then the methods I used to achieve it. I know that bullet points won't make ore break a resume/application but I just want to make sure they don't negatively contribute
The problem I'm running into is that it seems like all the work I'm doing is enabling the report team, and that's it.
For example
- I converted some legacy pipelines from python/argo workflow to use purely snowflake/dbt. I have no idea if/how this saved money, but the main impact was that it let the BI people write their own ETL so that we didn't have to answer ad-hoc requests related to schema/transformation changes. This pipeline was one of many, because we have a different pipeline for each table/type of financial data we are looking at
- The other project is that currently there is no automation whatsoever when it comes to reporting on Coupa billing/invoicing data. My task was to create an end-to-end pipeline that queried the coupa api, and push it to S3, where snowpipe loaded it into snowflake. dbt was then used to transform the data. My manager is doing the reverse etl back into coupa but I'm not sure beyond that.
These are just the 2 main projects I worked on. The bullets I can come up with always link back to saved time/energy for the reporting team. Am I just uncreative? What can I do?
