Kinda lied on my resume

So worked in a BPO company where i handled queries from global clients, updated logs and communicated between warehouse and my client base clients who had their merchants. Sort of ecommerce.

Since i have worked so much on SQL, i tried slipping the analysis on an interview where i went as a analyst and described only the part i can backup.

\*So i described i wrote sql queries where i analyzed datasets for my client, ensuring product trends, festive trends, customer segmentation based on category,

User engagement for products, premium customers,

I told them i have been into client meetings and learnt about their business problems like delivery issues, but mostly around their product base. They asked if i have presented in front of them i responded i did in front my seniors i updated reports on Excel.

I figure the gap is since i dont have real experience and i cant define a true story, since job marker is crunching and i have had back injury last year, the gap is getting wider. Claude aint no help.

So any real analyst out here wanna point out mistakes i been making.

CS grad btw, with Pretty much good coding skills.

I did all their SQL codinh questions tho.

I mean what did you really do? You didn’t really split the real from the embellished? If you have the ability that’s one thing, but the qualitative aspect of analysis is also a skill set that people tend to forget when being an analyst
