Greetings from Switzerland

Hello,

 

I'm British but have been living in the French speaking part of Switzerland for the last 18 years. I am currently working freelance as a Product Manager but have been increasingly drawn into projects requiring the integration of data, analytics, and machine learning. I am working through the Alteryx introductory training and am excited to see the power and simplicity of Alteryx for building solutions. I am keen to try out some of the weekly challenges, then find a real project to work on.

 

I think I will find this community a valuable source of information.

Best regards,

Andrew

Hello Andrew, 

18 years in Switzerland... Sounds nice! I was born in France but have only been there once (shame on me...), a week in Neuchatel a few years ago. Beautiful place.   

Are you working toward Certification? If so, the weekly challenges are a good way to prepare. Let us know how it goes. 


Regards,
Olivier

Hi @Spalders

 

Thanks for introducing yourself to the Community and welcome to Alteryx family! 

 

18 years living in the French speaking part of Switzerland? Whaou! I'm French but live in Germany. Nobody's perfect! Do you speak French? If yes, I recommend the French Academy where you can find French interactive lessons, French Weekly challenges to get more practice and also pas the French Core Certification

 

I have also good news, a User Group should be organised in Switzerland in September! If you want more information, please feel free to contact me or also get in touch with French users in the French Community too. 

 

Enjoy learning & keep us posted.

A bientôt,

Hi Olivier,

I am working towards certification, I had an attempt at the Core Certification yesterday but ran out of time. 

I will have another go and try to work a bit faster 🙂

Best regards,

Andrew

Bonjour Steph,

Il sera plus facile pour moi de faire la certification en anglais; J'ai essayé hier mais j'étais un peu trop lent pour réussir %80

Je suis intéressé par le groupe d'utilisateurs suisse, je souhaite améliorer à la fois mon Alteryx et mes compétences en français.

A+,

Bonjour @Spalders

 

un bon moyen d'améliorer tes compétences Alteryx et en français, est de t'entrainer avec les défis hebdomadaires. Je suis sûre que ta prochaine tentative pour la certification sera la bonne ! 

Et surtout si tu as des questions, en français ou en anglais, la Communauté est là pour toi ! 

A très bientôt, 

Steph Vitale-Havreng
