The job market is tough right now but lets continue. Here are some questions.
Do you have other product experience? if yes, great. If no, do you have any formal (paid or free) product management training?
I would have three resumes ready - one for product jobs, one for data jobs and one for product roles in the data analytic vertical.
If your current data analytics product role is your one and only product job, you may want to expand your job search (if you aren't already) to individual contributor roles.
Another option (which you might be doing already) is to look for product or data analytics roles at early phase startups (early phase = angel or seed round funding). Many times have dual experience (product and data analytics in your case) can up your chance of getting hired with a data-focused startup.
Another suggestion (again, you may be doing this) is to jump on the ML (machine learning) and AI wagon. There are plenty of free ML/AI courses from reputable sources (IBM, Google, Microsoft, DeepLearning, Databricks etc). There's a lot of money (internal and VC money for Startups) being funnelled into ML/AI.
I am not a career coach or a HR person, I'm a Product person with over 25 years of experience. I've read thousands of product resumes overmy career and hired close to 100 product people. I'm happy to read over your resume and give suggestions on how to improve your Product focused resume. You can find me at barb@tacit.io
