Blinders, About to complete my masters in Data Science this fall and planning to apply for jobs in the UK and India starting next week. Before I do that, looking for your feedback based on your experience or from what you have seen. Currently on an internship in Leeds which ends next month. I have been working as a QA (Automation & Manual) before masters. TC: 7.7 LPA #datascience #dataanalytics #data #machinelearning
You have close to 6 Years of professional experience. So it’s better to keep the focus on your experience and trim down some of the academic projects(only keep the ones which you can talk about for 15-20 minutes) And, follow a consistent STAR pattern in explaining all of your work experience. This helps in showcasing the business/technical impact of each of the projects you worked on.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Uploaded version 2 based on feedback.
You will need two different resumes, one targetting data science jobs and another targetting QA/BA jobs if you plan to apply to those. Highlight relevant projects in each version so the resume is addressing that specific opening by studying the positions you are applying for and tweak the resume to highlight relevant projects/skills.
I do not plan to apply for qa but because all my exp is in QA and i'm transitioning i thought i have to put it in.
You don’t have to put in anything. You can leave anything out. A resume is a sales pitch, not an investors’ disclosure.
it looks good
Thank you for taking time in checking. Appreciate it.
My first impression of this resume was “this dude has 2 months experience in data science, auto-reject for a non internship DS role” But then I realized you also have 5 years of other experience which may or may not be relevant. It’s unclear
I will move the tech skills at the top to get an idea of what I know. I almost have a masters in DS and my experience i believe does help me with transferrable skills that i would need because DS is not just modelling. I have many certifications in ML,Big data and Python but i have noticed that doesn't really help? What are your suggestions?
@kaiser1141 you’re saying that you require every entry-level data scientist to have had an internship before applying to work full-time?
Too much text. After reading the first couple of lines it isn’t immediately and obviously clear if my position is relevant to you, and I don’t want to sort through the rest of it to figure that out. I get literally thousands of resumes every day. The job of you’re resume is to get me to pick up the phone and call you. Nothing else. (I am not a recruiter, I’m just writing this from the perspective of one using what I personally have been told. It worked for me.)
What do you propose I do?
First thing needs to be a very quick summary of what you’re looking for and what your tech skills are. Like 2 lines max. Otherwise, find a lot of things to cut out. I know it’s hard but you have to do that. Resume needs more white space just to be legible. Maybe try the resume review service at levels.fyi. I did and it totally transformed my job search.
