I recently had an interview for a water supply analyst for my local water company, had a letter yesterday to say i did not get the job and the usual jargon.
I have emailed for feedback and hopefully should be through this coming week sometime, i am feeling positive and have learned alot from it.

However my problem is i only have 12 months experience within my current employer as a data analyst and finding it very dificult at the minute in getting into this field weather it a apps analyst or data analyst etc......
i only got the 12 months as it was a secondment from my current position.

any analysts in the house which can advise what they would look for when doing an interview? also is there anything else i can do to improve my chances.

I know the job market is maxed out with lots of people out of work etc....

i am doing extra analytical work for my current employer, however growth is very slow and available places were taken up last year when there was a cull on redundancies.

any tips would be great.

best regards
