TABLEAU | My Résumé

-
Here is my first Attempt to a VISUAL CV. I thought why not use TABLEAU to achieve this. I also gave a challenge to myself to have different data source( i,e excel sheets) and join them to achieve what I want. My main objective of this exercise are -
  1. Achieve a VISUAL and INTERACTIVE CV.
  2. Use TABLEAU's new "story board" feature and hight areas of the chats based on the story selected.
  3. Is to gain a better understanding of joins with multiple data sources within TABLEAU.
