Yesterday, amidst the hustle of finalizing an eLearning module, a beacon of change flickered on my screen. It was a job posting on Fiverr.com titled, “Data Visualization Expert Needed for Quick PowerBI Dashboard Creation.” My journey with PowerBI, marked by crafting visually compelling dashboards, made this opportunity too enticing to scroll past.
The essence of the job was straightforward – replicate an Airtable blueprint in PowerBI, creating a dashboard that merges eLearning course data from two LMS platforms. The client’s clarity and the project’s alignment with my expertise in data visualization and eLearning platforms sparked an undeniable excitement within me. This was the refreshing challenge I was unknowingly seeking.
“Sometimes, the opportunity finds you when you least expect it, turning an ordinary day into the beginning of a new adventure.”

My intrigue was not just about the job’s requirements but also the client’s organization and precision, evident from their detailed post. This suggested a well-defined project scope, promising a smooth collaboration. Moreover, the opportunity to engage with eLearning platforms in a data visualization capacity was thrilling, combining my two passions into one project.
The recollection of a late autumn evening, where I previously embarked on a similar PowerBI journey, flashed before me. The project had been a whirlwind of data manipulation and creative visualization, culminating in a dashboard that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations. The joy in their feedback was a testament to the power of effective data visualization. This memory fueled my decision to dive into this new opportunity, hoping to replicate the same success and satisfaction.
Here are the original job post details for those curious:
Title: “Seeking PowerBI Maestro for A Rapid Dashboard Assembly”
Are you a whiz with PowerBI who loves a good puzzle? We need your expertise! We are on a mission to blend two diverse datasets – specific to eLearning course information from a duo of Learner Management Systems. The blueprint is already designed on Airtable; we require your skilled hands to replicate it, alongside step-by-step instructions enabling us to mirror your magic in our PowerBI realm.
Your task includes revealing the courses that dance across both data sets and those that prefer to stand alone. Display course IDs associated with each LMS for easy access, and concoct a few additional lists based on a sprinkle of filters. We’re talking about courses listed as active past their expiry dates, rankings based on participant numbers, and missing fields that play hide and seek.
We’re searching for someone with a knack for swift execution without compromising on quality. Your toolkit should include Microsoft Excel and PowerBI. If data visualization is your language, you’re just the one we’re looking for!
Details:
- Hourly Range: $15.00-$30.00

Conclusion and Critical Review
As much as this job posting initially piqued my interest, a deeper reflection on the project’s scope and the rate offered led me to reconsider. Despite fitting well within my skillset, the effort to ensure a high-quality deliverable for the proposed hourly rate did not align with my financial goals. Additionally, the quick turnaround time, while exhilarating, hinted at a potentially stressful process that could risk the project’s quality.
Graceful Response to Hiring Manager
Even though I decided not to pursue this project, my response to the Hiring Manager was crafted with professionalism and openness to future possibilities:
“Thank you for considering my profile for the role. After a careful review, I’ve come to the conclusion that while I possess the skills required, the project scope doesn’t perfectly align with my current goals. However, I’m glad to have connected and look forward to potential collaborations in the future, which might fall under a broader project scope or a different remuneration structure. I wish you all the best in finding the right candidate.”
