How to use these keywords

Name the specific BI platform and version/certification (e.g. "Power BI, Microsoft Certified Data Analyst Associate") — this is the single most-searched credential.
Mention self-service analytics work if applicable — enabling non-technical users to self-serve is a strong differentiator.
Include DAX/M Query or equivalent scripting skill explicitly; it separates dashboard builders from true BI developers.

Frequently asked questions

Power BI or Tableau — which should I emphasize?

Whichever the target role uses — list both if proficient, but lead with the one named in the job posting since ATS matching is literal.

Do I need SQL as a BI developer?

Yes — nearly every BI role requires writing or at least reading complex SQL to build the underlying data model.
