The basics
What is FirstDataJob?
FirstDataJob is a job board built only for data roles — Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, Analytics Engineer, BI Developer. No marketing intern jobs, no retail. Listings are AI-matched to your resume so you only see the ones worth applying to.
Who is FirstDataJob built for?
Students and early-career data professionals (0–3 years experience) in Australia, India, New Zealand, and the US. If you're targeting your first or second data role and tired of filtering through irrelevant LinkedIn posts, this is for you.
Is FirstDataJob free to use?
Yes. The Starter plan is free forever — browse all data jobs, get AI match scores, save up to 5 roles, use the application tracker. No credit card required.
How often are jobs refreshed?
Every day. We pull from SEEK (AU + NZ), JSearch (IN + US), and direct ATS feeds from companies on Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby. Stale listings (older than ~14 days) are filtered out.
Pro plan
What's the difference between Pro Monthly and Pro Quarterly?
Both unlock the same software: all 42 interview-prep modules across 6 data roles, unlimited saved jobs, daily new-roles digest, and 10 direct questions per billing term you can ask the founder inside the prep library. The difference is the add-on credits: Pro Quarterly ($49 / 3 months) also includes 1 free 30-min consulting call ($29 value) and 1 free hand-tailored Resume Review ($11 value) per term. Pro Monthly ($19/mo) doesn't include those credits — you can still buy them at standard rates.
How much does Pro cost?
$19/month (Pro Monthly) or $49 for 3 months (Pro Quarterly — about $16/month). Quarterly includes $40 of services per renewal cycle (1 consulting call + 1 Resume Review).
What does the interview-prep library include?
42 hand-curated modules across 6 data roles (Data Analyst, BA, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, BI Developer, Analytics Engineer). Each module has what to study, how to study it, and 3 copy-ready prompts to drill the concept with AI. Free users get 1 module (SQL Fundamentals for Data Analysts); Pro unlocks all 42 plus the 10-question/term direct line to the founder.
Do the free credits reset when my subscription renews?
Yes — Pro Quarterly subscribers get a fresh 1 free consulting call + 1 free Resume Review at the start of every 3-month cycle. Unused credits expire at end of term and don't roll over.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the Manage Subscription menu in the sidebar. You keep access for the rest of your paid term — no auto-renewal headaches.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — but refunds are processed manually. Email hello@firstdatajob.com with your order details and we'll review within 1 business day. Full refund if you cancel within 7 days of charge AND haven't used any free credits in the current term (Resume Review or Consulting Call). If you've already redeemed a free credit, that perk's value is deducted from the refund. No refund for past completed billing terms. See our Terms for the full policy.
How do I book the 1:1 consulting call?
Once you've paid (or activated Pro Quarterly), the booking link lives on the Consulting Call page inside FirstDataJob — Dashboard → Premium → 30-min Consulting Call. Pick a 30-min slot from there. You'll also get a confirmation email pointing you to the same page. Pro Quarterly members get 1 free call per term — for the free one, email hello@firstdatajob.com with the topic + 2–3 time slots and we'll arrange it.
Resume Review
What is the Resume Review service?
$11 per review. Atikant Jain (AJ) — Power BI dev + Analytical Guy YouTube creator — hand-tailors your resume for a specific data role: STAR-method bullets, ATS keyword alignment, 1-page format for early-career, tone calibrated for AU/IN data-team hiring managers. Delivered within 3 business days.
Do I need a resume already to use it?
Yes — upload your existing resume (PDF) when you place the order, along with the target role and (optionally) the job posting URL. AJ then tailors it to that role.
What format do I get back?
Both PDF and editable DOCX, delivered to your FirstDataJob dashboard. You also get an email with both attached, plus a change-log explaining each major edit and why.
Can I get revisions?
Yes — within 4 hours of submission for a full refund (before work starts), or partial refund after work begins. Email hello@firstdatajob.com.
Data + privacy
Where does my resume go?

How long are tailored files kept?
Tailored Resume Review files are retained for 7 days post-delivery, then auto-deleted from your view. The original delivery email keeps attachments forever in your inbox.
Do you track who views my data?
