  • - 2 column resumes are trash
    - profile is pretty cringe
    - work exp is a bit disappointing (no relevant internships)

    Middle of the pack

      What should I write in profile then. Maybe you can help. Well, if people don’t like my resume then I will very well start my own stuff.

    • Just remove the storytelling bit. "Aspiring DS with experience of large data sets and Tableau" or whatever. 2nd sentence is ok

  • Looks like a resume. Nailed it!

      Just want to do something that matters and just keep learning. I do have the mathematical understanding of all the machine learning algorithms too, but I don’t know how to write that in my resume.

    Looks good. Though I have to question the space usage In the left column.

      Yeah. I agree it is flawed. But I don’t know. Just adding them on skills will also mean the same thing. Like no one can know everything about the topic. At the end of the day we are human. No one should expect us to know everything about the topic. But i agree with what you are saying

    • Ok. Then don’t use it 🤷‍♂️ It’s more of a tool for employers than applicants anyway.

    Small tip: I've seen the taxi cab data set on literally hundreds of resumes. Don't make it a top point.

    In general it looks fine for entry level but it's a really tough market for entry level DS right now, you will probably have to settle for DA for a while

      Yeah. You are right. Makes sense. What is a good resume for you? What kind of projects it should have?

    • Maybe do some open source work for a non-profit? For me, this has been a win-win as a chance to work with data that is very different from the data I work with at my day job (as a DS) and also to help a good cause.

    First line I think should say "..a knack FOR..." not "of"
