Review my Resume please!

Jun 24, 2021 14 Comments

Hi Y’all,

I’m a Dec 2020 grad with no previous work experience applying for Data Scientist and Data Analyst positions. I’ve been applying for a long time and barely getting any calls. I had progress with one company (PayPal) where I went to the On-site but got rejected.

Please critique my resume. If there’s anything lacking in the wording or the content of my resume. I don’t have any internships which is why I’m probably getting no callbacks.

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

    Well Mr. Appleseed. I have a bone to pick with you and your eco-terrorist ways.

    As a DS hiring manager, will admit it's tough as a fresh grad. You need to highlight something superlative that you've done that will make you stand out. Your best bet though may be to leverage your connections (any that you have, your parents have, your classmates have) and ask 'Do you know anyone who I can talk to who can guide me on my quest doing DS applied to xx'. This works even better if you have a specific domain (e.g. healthcare, ad-tech, etc) in your tagline, and once they recommend someone, repeat and ask the same question. Often, you'll happen upon a hiring manager who is looking for someone like you, and is coming with a 'soft' reference from their connection. This is one way to get your first break, and is a way I have used a couple of times in the past.
