How do I get an entry level workday analyst job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who have completed Workday coursework, earned a Workday Pro certification, or worked with HR or finance systems during an internship. Familiarity with business processes like payroll, benefits, or recruiting modules gives junior candidates a clear edge. Tailoring your resume to the specific Workday module listed in each posting, such as HCM or Financials, also strengthens applications at this stage.

About 40% of entry level workday analyst openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, making it one of the more flexible roles for new grads.
